One of the reasons I like TES over ANY(!) MMO is that here I can feel like I am the actual hero, without feeling thousands of breaths on my neck from the people waiting in a spiky queue to slay that poor Boss for a thousandth time over and over again.
A TES coop game is a very welcome idea I'd love to see and experience, but MMO...

Don't know who came up with this sick idea, but I hold that Idiot personally responsible for destroying the whole spirit of the TES series.

I'll never play his game, just because it defies EVERYTHING I love in the TES series, with obvious lack of Modding being at the very the top of said list.

Please! For the Nine!
Drop this Idiotic idea and focus on Co-op instead, I have a FEW friends I'd like to share my adventures with

From the description and features it sounds like it will be the best mmo ever made. Who cares if "Omg it's not going to single player there is no first person" it's not SUPPOSED to be. It has the elder scrolls name, the elder scrolls SETTING. That's like saying "The old republic is nothing like Star Wars because there's no darth vader or rebels!"

The only reason it is called "Elder Scrolls" is because they HAD to so they can use tamriel and it's lore. I wish people would see that.

First off I will say it looks like a Chinese ripoff of Morrowwind, however that doesn't mean I value graphics over everything else. Levels of importance are 1.Story 2. Game play 3.Graphics. I can look past sub-par graphics if the story and game play are good.
Moving on

I like ES games because when you play a hero in an RPG your supposed to feel like a hero. I did in Morrowwind, Oblivion, and I do in Skyrim. When I play a MMO and some quest giver NPC welcomes me as the hero the entire world has been waiting for it is ruined by the knowledge that a million other people before me and a million after me will be told the same thing. In an MMO being told your a hero or the chosen one or some bs like that is insulting because your just like everyone else. This is one ES game that I wont be playing, as long as its a MMO there is nothing they can do that will make this a True ES game in my eyes.
so with that being said

BURN IT BURN IT WITH FIRE!!!

I believe if this is a single player game with online support of a few players, I think it might work. But if that happens modding will be out of the picture. It will become a game like fable that gets boring after awhile with nothing new to do. I want multiplayer in TES but this is not what I imagined it would be like.

I think it would be impossible (for now, maybe in a couple of years for better hardware) to make an MMORPG of the elder scroll using skyrim's graphics, the game would be laggy as balls.However they could make a dlc or something allowing you to play online with up to 2 to 8 players. That would be tit-tastic

Quite honestly... it shouldn't have The Elder Scrolls in its title.

It's... a joke ? oO

Let's face facts, with WoW being the most successful money making game of all time, everyone wanted to get in on the cake. One of the key elements of the supposed 'WoW Winning Formula' was the already established lore.

That's why MMO's are generally piggybacked onto existing series. So some genius decided that slapping an MMO onto TES lore would fit this formula.

What the devs are failing to realise or notice is that no MMO, even with copying the 'WoW formula' has yet reached the same scale of financial success. All they are focusing on is their fear of the modding community, who are able to add longevity to a game they only pay once for.

All in all, I'm not going to judge this game on a screenshot. But I expect it to be s*** simply because it's a manifestation of financial concern rather than a desire to make a piece of art.

From Skyrim to this... I'm not often at a loss for words.

I agree, to some degree, with you Ceipher. The lore may have helped fans of the Warcraft series like WoW more, but what really helped Blizzard become disgustingly rich off it was their target audience...children. That's right folks, WoW was made to attract kids, that's why there's no blood, no swearing, and one of the reasons it's cartoony (another being the game is so huge, the servers can't handle Skyrim-like graphics).

Personally, I expect ESO to be a PoS because Zenimax (that the right name?) is nowhere near as rich as Blizzard Entertainment...Blizzard had the capital to create WoW correctly, and so they did. The most basic element in any game these days is cold, hard, cash. Whoever has the most, has the highest chance of success because they can afford the really good graphic designers, programmers, storyboard guys, lore people, quest makers, and so on; not to mention the ultra high-end servers needed to handle a great many people plus all the effects going on at the same time. I'm not saying the game will bomb, it might be enjoyable - to a degree, like Guild Wars, but it's not going to even remotely compete with WoW.
