A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Fortnightly Recommendations Thread: What do you suggest? (aussie.zone)

I haven't made a new thread weekly exactly, but with the amount of activity it might need to be fortnightly, here's another recommendations thread.

Let everyone know below a game (6+ months old), that you have played recently, are currently playing or intend to play soon.

I'm still playing Elder Scrolls Online, which means I am not playing much atm while I upskill in Linux/docker etc.

I just hop on, do my 15 minutes of daily writs between two characters with addons and hop off.

How is the community over there? I played a lot of WoW during Wotlk (very cliche, I know), but not so many MMOs in the past years.

Outside of free weekends or perhaps peaktime weekends in general, it is probably the nicest community I've ever played with.

Very nice community. I try to contribute to that in and outside my guilds.

That's nice, I might give it a try at some point in the future.

ESO is free on EGS now, think it's going to end in under 18 hours, so grab it when you still can if you're interested.

Thanks for pointing this out!

Tried it out a long time ago. Leveled up a bit but realised I could spam one dungeon over and over and level real fast.. and after that I felt lost and eventually quit. How is the controller support?

I'm about 4600 hours into ESO, but I've been paying for the subscription for half of that time. I only raid. Very challenging at the high levels, which I really enjoy.

I just hop on for my scheduled raids and log off. I don't do any kind of grinding.

I've never bought ESO subscription, I have 200 inventory / 240 bank on my main character and manage my items with addons, I own the 6 previous expansions with the $20 bundle and intend to play what I own before wanting DLC I don't have.

I trade Gold for other DLC I want.

That's fair. I just have hundreds of thousands of crafting items so the craft bag is a big one for me. I also actually go through every single DLC. I'm almost done getting every single trifecta in the game (arenas, dungeons, and trials).

I could probably make do with how you go about it, but since this is basically the only form of entertainment I pay for, I feel like it's justified. My lifestyle is otherwise incredibly frugal.
