ErisSharp Posted December 25, 2003 Share Posted December 25, 2003 I heard they where maken morrowind online but it was on an xbox site.... my freind sent Bethesda Softworks and e-mail asking they said it would take to much time I think it would put ever quest in its place far away from computers.

B) I doubt it, It will take quite along time to make it since you'll have to make a new engine or rewrite the old engine. -MajKrAzAm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loveme4whoiam Posted December 26, 2003 Share Posted December 26, 2003 Hmm, methinks you have been plagerised her, my friend - look for yourself. For those who can't be bothered to go through to the link, i shall quote myself. Er, i'm pretty divided on this. The beauty of MW was that it brought the joy and atmosphere of a MMORPG to a offline (or dial-up ) players world. Everquest is alright for some, but it'll eat your modem in two seconds flat. Besides, it would require a lot of teamwork to make the MW (or Elder Scrolls) "feel" work online, as with any online game, from Star Wars Galaxies to Counter-Strike. If you get a power-player who decides to go on a killing spree, then off-line that was no problem, but thats really little Johnny's first Dark Elf you just wiped out online. The issue of power players is potentially much more damaging to an online game than offline; its only one persons experience the PP is ruining when he/she is playing alone, but it can effect much more people, destroying any semblance of atmosphere or realism. It would require an awful lot of work from the majority which could be destoryed by a relatively small minority, which is why i think it should remain, as it has been, an purely off-line affair. loveme4whoiam->essaymode 0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohGr Posted December 26, 2003 Share Posted December 26, 2003 there is no way known anyone would run it smoothly while online, if there were 5,000 people per server (everquest is 10,000) and you stood in seyda neen with 30-50 people running around, look at how many pixels that is, each character with full armor on is around 4,000 to 8,000, times that by 40 or more, then add the houses and terrain, unless you had a video card 3 times better than a geforce 4 ti4600 (the fx series are horrible on morrowind), you would still get lag, and no one has such a thing, and what if everyone broke into a fight, it would be stupid, itd be boring, and it would lag horribly, besides, playing morrowind online with only 4 other people would still lag, you look at the connection, processing all the data to and from the server, it will chug like a geforce 4 in a blizzard, put simply, if you want anything that farfetched, youd have to wait untill TES4, providing its even LAN. as for morrowind online on x-boxit would not beat everquest, because any game can, because who wants to pay $10 a month to play a boring game, and the x-box lags with morrowind horribly sometimes, so id doubt anyone will go through the trouble of making a failiure.

Mamo Posted December 27, 2003 Share Posted December 27, 2003 What about LAN...i think it could work..lan is incredibly fast, don't think there would be too much lan..and the only real srcipting you'd have to change is for partying and things such as rewards so it's given to everyone in the party....

loveme4whoiam Posted December 27, 2003 Share Posted December 27, 2003 A LAN'ed version of the game would be pretty good, because you'd be able to have clever companions rather than idiots who get stuck in between two rocks (unless your friends are of equally low intelligence ;) ). But that wouldn't be Morrowind Online, it would be Morrowind On-A-Local-Area-Network. The point that MW wouldn;t work over the net still stands, but the idea over a LAN is one that would work quite well, if implemented correctly. On a LAN you don't run the risk of runnning into idiot power-players or PvP nuts. The save-game problem might be a bit hard to overcome, but i'm sure Beth would be able to do that. So, whos with me? The next version of Elder Scrolls should be able to run over a LAN. Let us begin with a campaign of emails to Beth's cheif executive. Hmm? Hmm? *looks about for the audience who are all trying to move away without being conspicuous* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
