TESO the biggest rival for ARR?

[Elexia]

Just curious, since I haven't been following TESO news, like at all, did they say anything new about hosing in that MMO? Cause, in one of the first interviews about it they were all like "There'll be no housing cause it's difficult to implement it in a MMO" which made me go WTF seriously?!

Why? It actually isn't an easy system to implement in a meaningful manner, which is why people overly excited for it in ARR will ultimately be disappointed. This is why for example Yoshi used DQX's as an example, because it's very simplistic.

Personally, I think that with ARR we're getting a game from a group of people that NOW know the dos-and-donts of making an mmo. TESO group will be making their first mmo in a relatively flooded market....

First or 30th MMO doesn't matter. SE's first MMO was a critical and financial success.

I really don't want to play a mmo that goes F2P in 6 months.

Pray that ARR lasts longer than that then, because that's been the fate of most new MMORPGs lately if not completely shutdown.
