comments on that post are hilarious.

Hopefully they can make a success where so many others have failed.

Three faction PvP has me interested for certain, I really hope they stick to the key ingredients of the Elder Scrolls series, non-linear freeform gameplay, large open worlds, action based combat and skill based leveling.

Hmm I am suddenly very worried about if this can succeed.

 

[ThomBassmonkey]

I'm not that excited personally. The concept is great but TES games are fairly slow paced in combat and a bit clumsy, I don't know how well it'd work competitively.

And theres the final nail in the coffin for single player offline RPGs then.

With Bethesda record, i would bet it will be full of bugs that take forever to fix, im currently playing SWTOR which is full of bugs with slow support in fixing things, but i think Bethesda would be worse with an MMORPG

The joy of Elder Scrolls is the single player driven story telling and free roam doing what the hell you like, I am greatly skeptical and worried that Elder Scrolls games won't be the same after. I'm not writing it off but these are my thoughts as it goes to press!

What's to say they can't bring that to the MMO world though?

To quote:
The game's director is Matt Firor. "It will be extremely rewarding finally to unveil what we have been developing the last several years," he says. "The entire team is committed to creating the best MMO ever made – and one that is worthy of The Elder Scrolls franchise." The game's July cover reveal will detail a variety of the game's possibilities: soloing, public questing, and a unique new take on player-vs-player, in which the three factions battle over sections of land or a desired position of power.

So that's the bloke from Dark Age of Camelot, and the unique new selling point is how DAoC was set up

Not that I care, 3 faction makes things far far better for open area pvp. And it certainly needs to be used more.

another crappy MMO , MMO are a bore Der

Its strange seeing longtime makers of successful solo RPG's like BioWare and now Bethesda turn to multiplayer.

So dont care about an Elderscrolls MMO.

Well it was certain to happen eventually, no matter what they've said previously. I'll wait and see before making a judgement.

But I can say I am a huge kotor fan, yet haven't bought swtor, so that could be similar here.

I still think there'll be a TES:VI as a singleplayer game, as these will be in two completely different time periods.

hmmm think ill have this

So if its gonna be the best MMO ever, they should maybe charge more for it than WoW.

IMO $29.99 / £19.99 per month is a fair price for the best game ever.

Its worth it for how good the best MMO ever is bound to be, and no one will complain because its so good.

And it will get 50 million active subscriptions.

Blizzard are lubing up their strap-on.

 

[PsychoPigeon]

It's going to be the greatest mmo ever made EVER. And that's from the developers mouth.

 

[King Damager]

Bleurgh. No thanks, I'll stick with Skyrim thanks

why change tack to the Mmo, though. It is a overcrowded market and Bethseda are very strong in single player.

Probably because it isn't Bethesda making it
