we could have told you this was a [censored] idea five years ago. would have saved you the trouble and embarasment. not to mention, money wasted in this futile endeavor.

Oh, now THIS is a question I want answered. Why did they wait this long to reveal the plan? Aren't they nearly done now, which basically means it's too late to change stuff? They should have polled the playerbase, or at least discussed it with them...

I don't think they are soliciting opinions yet. They are just slowly revealing what they have. I think they are pretty confident that this MMO is going to be awesome. Let's give them a chance, shall we?

Only thing I can fathom is that they figured it was time to crank up the hype machine and start spreading the word, with only 2 years left of their planned development and all. Well, at the very least, I can say people now know there's an Elder Scrolls MMO.

But to borrow an anology from another thread, I didn't like the cheese in the first place.

To someone who can't get into an MMO, the idea of a TES MMO really excited me, until I actually read up on it. Then it just made it seem like all the other MMOs I've tried, and it's just... I'm sorry, it's just not my cup of tea. I love multiplayer, and would love mass multiplayer, it's just that... I don't like the gameplay of MMOs. And there's many, many people like me.

I suppose we were hoping for the best of both worlds, you know?
