Elder Scrolls Online - PvP Guide @ ESO Hut

With the launch of ESO only months away, I want to look into the make or break part of an MMORPG – PvP. All of the top MMO’s out there have special events, battlegrounds or instances for where players can get together and fight against those from the opposing faction. When you reach maximum level on your character, your going to be mainly doing 2 things… PvE (dungeons, instances etc) or PvP (Player vs Player). So if a gaming company wants to keep a good chunk of their subscribers, then this part of the game has to be absolutely  spectacular and repeatable without getting boring.

Although, it’s probably not as big as it used to be, PvP still is big business and very popular among online gamers, I have to admit though, in any MMO that I’ve played in, I always try to keep away from others until I’m at a respectable level – otherwise it’s just not worth wasting my time getting killed over.

Take WoW (World of Warcraft) for example, there was a time when every Joe and his uncle was talking about who they fought and beat the previous night, everywhere you looked there was a tournament of some sort going on and with this there were viral videos of players filming themselves in the midst of epic battles on onslaught. You would get the feeling WoW was pushing PvP on everyone and it was a big deal. Nowadays it’s still there in the background and people accept it as being a regular part of the game rather than something that is special and needs promotion.
