Slaiv Posted December 25, 2003 Share Posted December 25, 2003 In response to Erisharp's topic, I have created this poll. Me, personally, I believe that a game like Morrowind should be an MMORPG. Not Morrowind itself, but the next ELder SCrolls game; it would require almost an entire revision of the MOrrowind code. Sorry for the Double Post.

loveme4whoiam Posted December 26, 2003 Share Posted December 26, 2003 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 :veryangry: ) 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...
ShinJiOh Posted December 26, 2003 Share Posted December 26, 2003 I agree with loveme4whoiam because not only would us dial-up people be screwed but then we would always have to download patches and not to mention everybody else's add-ons if they included another CS in ESIV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaiv Posted December 26, 2003 Author Share Posted December 26, 2003 yes....the pp thing could ber handled easily- the only way for one player to fight another is if they agree OR there would be designated areas where pvp is allowed....sort of an "enter at your own risk" thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loveme4whoiam Posted December 27, 2003 Share Posted December 27, 2003 A nice idea was brought up in this thread, which is incidently on the exact same topic this one is *remember the promise to the admins* Sorry. Anyway, the idea was to have it playable over a LAN, which would eliminate the stupid companions and allow for a wider range of quests. I guess you should read the rest of the thread to get all the ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xionith Posted December 28, 2003 Share Posted December 28, 2003 I vote plain no. Because I dont even have the internet on my computer. (And as most of you have probably heard, its on my parents PC which is like a piece of crap with a monitor.) But dang, would I like to try an online game like that.... :whistling: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
