The idea excites me, but I'm terrified to think of how many bugs and glitches this may end up having.
A great way to make a boring game even more boring. That's exactly what I wanted in TES games - classic MMO repetition. Yeah, fuck engaging gameplay, let's all rot mentally.
Also the buggiest mmo ever made, that and the only thing I like about TES is the mods, so I really couldn't give a shit about this.
Here's the thing. I want to be excited about it, but does Elder Scrolls gameplay work in a MMO? I don't want this to play as the other fantasy MMO's out there, mostly because I hate that type of gameplay. :/
I saw a mudcrab the other day, disgusting creatures, bring me 10 mudcrab shells and I will give you some gold.
I like TES games but their combat and depth are both pretty awful compared to even middling MMOs. Anyone who says classic MMO combat is less engaging than TES combat has not played an MMO at high levels. This TES MMO could be good, but I think it's more likely that it will expose the shortcomings of the series without really adding much beyond socialization.
Sounds like a stupid idea, no actually its an incredibly stupid idea. Not every popular game should be made an mmo, make no mistake this is utter failsauce.
Huh. Wonder if that means someone is gonna try (again) to make an MMO with realtime combat. If not, I'm not even sure what the point is. While it has a few interesting parts, Elder Scrolls does not make for the most interesting setting or lore out there.
All the bugs and glitches with none of the modding community by necessity of a persistent interconnected environment! Truly the best of all possible worlds. A year after the fact when all of the inherent flaws get ironed out and the masses move onto the next big thing it might be fun, though.
That's a terrible idea.
The big draw for me from The Elder Scrolls/New Fallout games comes from the exploration. Just being able to run into some direction and find all kinds of cool stuff there. Interesting locations, cool loot and new NPCs and Monsters.
How the hell is this MMO-Stuff? MMOs are based on time-sink, and the only way to turn the exploration aspect into a time-sink is to introduce Grind-Walls to keep you from going somewhere. That's bullocks.
Please, Zenimax, think about this again. Make a 2-5 Player Cooperative Elder Scrolls game instead. I'd totally play that. Multilayer Exploration is one of the big draws of Minecraft and THE big draw of Terraria.

A Bethesda game?
An MMO?
It's the logical step for the series, but this game isn't even going to be remotely playable is it...
Still, I expect it'll get Game of the Year regardless.

At least those begging for multiplayer and co-op in single player open world games can shut the hell up now.
Dunno if I'd play it, but there's certain to be plenty to explore in a TES MMORPG and if it hits the scale it should that could be very exciting.

Do not want. The whole reason I've loved TES is because it's single player. Why does every RPG series need an MMO installment? Making an Elder Scrolls MMO would negate some of the series best gameplay assets. Then again, I'm sure there's people out there who'd love this. At least they get to have something to look forward to...
Worthy of the Elder Scrolls franchise? So they are gonna release it and finish it half a year later?
Expected, but very sad. If this succeeds it will all but ensure Skyrim is the last single player Elder Scrolls game, and as expansive and "MMO-friendly" as it may seem, the two are very different beasts. Am I a bad person for (vainly) hoping this fails miserably?
I'm not a graphics whore, but I hope it's not just another MMO with sub-par graphics like Star Wars. I want an offline experience, online.
@CaimDark - Its not even being made by the same team and its set in the early third age. Todd's team is taking an advisory role and intend to keep doing their own games.
Molag Bal, eh? Nice to see Mehrunes Dagon taking some time off. But yeah, I imagine all the unseen provinces will be pretty disappointing and 2nd era Tamriel will hardly be different to 3rd or 4th era Tamriel.

Wow, everyone likes to fucking complain about everything, don't they? YOU HAVE SEEN NOTHING OF THE GAME. PLEASE SHUT UP. That is all.
I'm excited, but we'll see what direction they take the game in.

Thank god for the gaming industry that we have all these arm chair analysts hanging about in the internets, waiting to weigh their butthurt in and let us, the consumers, as well as our corporate benefactors how dumb they think something they won't play is.
You think you guys would, I don't know, go play video games instead of wasting time commenting on something you're so disinterested in.

Judging from the cover it'll include all provinces, which, if it's made to scale...Will be effin' massive.
Calling it now: the launch is going to be a huge mess due to bugs and glitches, followed by weeks of no communication from the support team, then a few patches are released that end up breaking more then they fix, and then it goes free to play a few months after launch due to poor support by Bethesda.
I really want to be wrong about this, but the last few games from Bethesda have not instilled confidence in me that this scenario won't happen.

Also, the premise being set a millennium before the events of Skyrim, as well as a Trifecta of factions instead of the standard "Side A vs. Side B" that's grown so old is rather intriguing. Almost every time I've played an MMO that copies the old Alliance against Horde schematic, I've thought
"You know, this pvp would be a little more dynamic if a third party rolled in here and started ruining everyone's day, forcing the other two sides to begrudgingly form an partnership." Regardless of how many people want to have knee jerk reactions and bad mouth this mere REVEAL, the ideas behind it are already interesting enough.
But that's right, I forgot how omnipotent today's youth are, what with their ability to make accurate judgement based on NOTHING at all. Guess it's gonna suck.

I don't want to hear this. It's too hard already to do the things I'm supposed to do without playing Skyrim. Dammit.
