“We have been working hard to create an online world in which players will be able to experience the epic Elder Scrolls universe with their friends – something fans have long said they wanted"

...

NO. No we really don't care about that. We want an MMO with Elder Scrolls gameplay. First/Third person, realtime combat, decision making, interesting quests, stealth, items, etc.
Please don't deliver a WoW clone based on TES lore.

well, I wasn't really waiting for an ES online game... but we'll see what Bethesda comes up with.

Bethesda isnt developing, Zenimax Online Studios is.

And, i have mixed feelings about this.

TES being an MMO can't be a good thing unless it is a Sandbox.

Also, the engine will likely be the HeroEngine, the same one used on SWTOR, a crappy engine btw.

What MMO isnt Sandbox :/ ?
sagapo  +   384d ago
@Laxman: Conan for example, you can put Guildwars in there as well. And neither is SWTOR to be honest.

Been playing some SW:TOR, just got into Tera Online, and pre-ordered Guild Wars 2... and now news of Elder Scrolls MMO. Good time for MMO fans :)

I have no idea why you got all those Disagrees except for the disagree Trolls that run rampant on N4G!!

1. 1.7 million people are enjoying SW:Tor
2. I myself am playing Tera Online and it's AWESOME!
3. Guild Wars 2, not too much to say about GW2 except "IT'S FRIGGIN GUILD WARS 2"!
4. Elder Scrolls MMO if good will only bolster the awesome MMO line-up
5. .....and there is still a Fallout MMO lurking around
6. Firefall, Tribes:Ascend, Planetside 2, The Secret World, ArcheAge, etc are just some of the other Big Name MMo's on the horizon!

MMO's are GREAT!!

Excellent. Now that this is on the way, I can start to speculate on what the next Elder Scrolls instalment will be.

Console(ps3/X360)?
Interesting 512MB ram......
I say this game better next-gen(Console).
MariaHelFutura  +   385d ago
I don't really game on the PC, but hopefully this comes to the next-gen consoles. I can't wait to see some gameplay.

Plus, I'm glad they didn't just try to force online into the current form of The Elder Scrolls.

I hope it's like Elder Scrolls previous games, but online.

Not just a WOW-MMO style with TES-lore
xAlmostPro  +   385d ago
I agree.

Although i've wished for multiplayer even if it was only like you and a friend and been called dumb and that it wouldn't work in elder scrolls because it would 'take away' from the experience.

Hopefully this turns out well, should be fun :D
BattleTorn  +   385d ago
I'd much rather they add co-op play to Skyrim, or a new TES-title

Rather than attempt to make a world full of players.

That will undoubtably result in a typical MMO.

I was hoping for a new fallout.
DigitalAnalog  +   385d ago
MMO's tend to have a huge world.
Now it's an MMO, I wonder if they will replicate the scale of hammerfell?
