This entire game is just setting itself up for awesomness. Their first awesome job was usingan engine that is heavily modified to support 200+ players on the screen at one time, this heavily modified game engine is awesome and the graphics are equally impressive, Elder Scrolls: Skyrim looks just as awesome. Then the Devs articulate why the game will look like Skyrim, Morrowind or any other TES setting known because of amazing and awesome artists and concepts to draw upon. I know there will be a first person view because the devs have already said there would be and the press event release even showed it in working order.

They have also allowed the player to feel special emotional attachment to their home territory, you can't enter opposing factions territory because this would break the game, this is a WAR and in order for WAR to portrayed accurately you need a front from which to operate, pvp is limited to Cryodiil as it should be. I know the war is focused on Cyrodiil since the factions are fighting for control of the Empire but still this is a big awesome experience! I can see it now, the rest of the world would be almost full because PvE is amazing while over half would be doing pvp in Cyrodiil. Their server technology, "Mega Server" with all players on one AWESOME server, which is amazing because we no longer have to worry about not being able to play with our friends and we know getto choose like-minded individuals we wish to play with. Imagine as a PvE enthusiast who enjoys grouping with my comrades? Now I can join a shard of this "mega server" that I can truely feel comfortable with. No more having to group with bads, 1 year olds, and l33t haxxors. What if the game is sort of successful in the beginning, how are they going to fit 50,000 players online all at once in one server? The game world would also have to be really large which will be an amzing propostition.

So I can't wait for this game to be released so I can see it grow like wildfire within a year. What I really hoped for was an Elder Scrolls MMO but what I got was an Elder Scrolls MMO with DAoC RvR, This is AWESOME! This amazing game engine and so much freedom. I wanted to see an online version with Skyrims graphics and this is as close as you can come within the framework of a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game. I guess I will have to wait for the next year for this awesome Skyrim version of an MMO. Hopefully ESO will incorporate mods so the world and UI can be even more awesome! Having thousands of players in an Elder Scrolls game is not far off.
