Patch 11.0.5 Now Live
Major balance changes to all classes, new dungeon difficulty, and holiday events are now available. Check out the full patch notes for details.
Throne and Liberty (TNL) and The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO) are both MMORPGs, but they cater to different playstyles and preferences. Heres a detailed comparison: Developer & Publisher TNL: Developed by NCSoft (known for Lineage, Guild Wars), published globally by Amazon Games. ESO: Developed by ZeniMax Online Studios (Bethesda), published by Bethesda Softworks. Setting & Lore TNL: High-fantasy world with dynamic environments (weather, day/night cycles affecting gameplay). ESO: Expansive Tamriel-based lore from The Elder Scrolls series, rich in storytelling and familiar locations. Combat & Gameplay TNL: Action-oriented combat with dodging, aiming, and environmental interactions (e.g., climbing, flying). ESO: Hybrid action/tab-target combat with light/heavy attacks, skill rotations, and class-based abilities. PvP & PvE Focus TNL: Large-scale PvP (sieges, open-world conflicts) and PvE dungeons/raids. Territory control is key. ESO: Balanced PvE (quests, dungeons, trials) and PvP (Cyrodiil, Battlegrounds). More solo-friendly. Monetization TNL: Likely free-to-play with a cosmetic/item shop (similar to Lost Ark via Amazon Games). ESO: Buy-to-play with optional subscription (ESO+) for DLC access and perks like crafting bag. Graphics & Style TNL: Stylized, high-fidelity graphics with dynamic world events (e.g., weather altering battles). ESO: More realistic Elder Scrolls aesthetic, slightly dated but consistent with TES lore. Progression & Classes TNL: Weapon-based skill system (no fixed classes, abilities tied to gear). ESO: Class-based (Dragonknight, Sorcerer, etc.) with flexible skill lines (weapons, guilds, etc.). Open World & Exploration TNL: Seamless open world with verticality (gliding, climbing) and environmental puzzles. ESO: Instanced zones with deep exploration, books, and lore-heavy side quests. Which One Should You Play? Play TNL if you prefer action combat, large-scale PvP, and a dynamic world. Play ESO if you love TES lore, story-driven quests, and a more traditional MMO experience. Both are solid choices, but they cater to different audiences. ESO is more established, while TNL offers fresh mechanics. Would you like a deeper dive into any specific aspect?

Venture into the depths of Azeroth itself in this groundbreaking expansion. Face new threats emerging from the planet's core, explore mysterious underground realms, and uncover secrets that will reshape your understanding of the Warcraft universe forever.
The War Within brings so much fresh content to WoW. The new zones are absolutely stunning and the storyline is engaging. Been playing for 15 years and this expansion reignited my passion for the game.
The new raid content is fantastic with challenging mechanics. However, there are still some bugs that need to be ironed out. Overall a solid expansion that keeps me coming back for more.
