Meh, I think I'm going to stick with the single player experiences from bethesda..

No player owned territory/World PVP shenanigans...
Another Level system, no skill based characters...
Class system...

Couldn't be more of the "Yet another WoW Clone" genre could it?
Or wait, perhaps it's the "WoW clone with a couple of cheap gimmicks" like rift genre?

I'm shocked companies still think wow clones are good ideas in the current market.. perhaps it appeals to the casual player idk?!

ESO is, if anything, a guild Wars 2 clone.

@Sajuukkhar and they are trying to glorify it, shamelessly.

@GohanOwns

Being a Gw2 isn't something to be shameful of considering that most MMOs are WoW clones.

[GohanOwns]

Being a clone is shameful when it's an ES game -_-

There int anything new to do in MMORPGs.

It is literally impossible ot to be a clone of something.

Fyi gamespy links to steamworkshop, but everything can be also found on good old skyrimnexus.

Hell yeah? Who told them to go and make an MMO when they were doing awesome with Single Player RPGs?

[sajuukkhar9000]

Maybe all the fans who consistently asked for multiplayer Elder Scrolls, and the fact that everyone enjoyed Oblivion, with many going so far as to call it a single player MMO.

Furthermore Zenimax Online was created as a separate company so it wouldn't mess with Bethesda Game Studios and their production of single player Elder scrolls games.
