ESO was one of my favourite games for a very long time. It's an MMO that's done really well!! For me, though, it had gotten to a point where I no longer played to play the game, but to play the trading market. I'd spend hours farming and farming ore and wood and flowers, make all the gold I could, buy houses and decorate them... and I was getting lonely and bored.
Unfortunately none of my friends played. ESO has a problem in which it attracts three types of players:
One who wants a World of Warcraft clone, and hates ESO because it's not that.
One who wants a Skyrim Online, and hates ESO because it's not that.
And one who accepts ESO as it is and enjoys it.
Most of my friends were in the first two so I had no one to enjoy it with. :(
It's such a great game though!!! I hope you enjoy your time in it. :)
It is very understandable, I left WOW because my friends were no longer playing, but I think we will all come back to play WOWTLK Classic, ESO I will play it little by little since I am playing full GW2.
I don't know if you have tried Guild Wars 2 but if you haven't you should.
I tried it a few months ago and I thought it was okay... but sadly it wasn't really something I could fall into.
