No they won't. A TES fan either plays it or they don't. By not playing it you're not 'boycotting' it. And, for every digruntled single play TES fan there's a dozen MMO fans who don't give a hoot about where it's coming from.
This is it.

Sorry Mr.

Why should they be concernd?
Just because some wannabe Experts from the Internet think they know everything better? Oh please.

You seem to be an expert on experts.

Just sayin'.

Of course we know better what we want - what we expect. They know better only what they want.

Mmm, but will this be enough to grab the attention of the MMORPG crowd though? I don't know, but if you're not in it for the TES label then wouldn't it take some more revolutionary changes to the MMO formula for you to get excited about it? So far, this doesn't seem to provide that.

Ignorance has annihilated many games before, and we can all soon worship Mehrunes Dagon.

Lets see.

-They are exiling the entire console fanbase with this title so basing the population of Elder Scrolls fans as a whole as theoretical buyers of this PC/Mac only MMO doesn't apply.

-They have pissed off the vast majority of people that buy MMOs by not making the game the way they want it to be. Seriously, check out the NeoGAF, Giantbomb, Gametrailers forums, etc. as well as the initial reactions from many sites such as GameSpy's. It's incredibly one-sided.

-They are using that beyond pos garbage engine know as the Hero Engine to make this game which has received a huge negative following after it was revealed just how bad it is with SWTOR and the very mention of it is enough to make many not give a damn about this game.

-They are also not releasing this game until after WoW: Mists of Pandaria and GW2 have released and established themselves so they are going to be up their asses with competition.

There is a lot to be worried about in the position that they are in.

Thats true. Im just better than you.

Most of your points make no sense since its not Bethesda which is doing this MMORPG.

So my Statement stands.

So... they will not do an online game just because the console player′s cant play it... ?

Well thats true. But the Question is do they speak for everyone?

You know too many cooks spoil the broth. (especially if most of them can only make pizza in the microwave)

edited It doesn't matter if Bethesda is making this or not. It's an Elder Scrolls title and this game flopping like a tuna on a boat will tarnish the name for those unfamiliar with the series and will make them think all Elder Scrolls games are like this therefore turning away potential buyers of future Elder Scrolls games. Also they have spent 5 years and counting designing this game, have a huge staff count working on this game and have thrown millions and millions into the project so if it fails, their are going to be some very, very pissed off executives.

Way to miss the point completely with that statement. A very large portion of the fanbase of the Elder Scrolls games are exclusively console gamers, and since this game completely ignores that portion of the fanbase, there are automatically less potential buyers for this game then the other Elder Scrolls games when talking about the Elder Scrolls fanbase as a whole.

Again. Its not Bethesda making this Game its Zenimax Online (maybe you should google it). Also you know nothing about the Development costs so everything you just sayed is pure Speculation.

Fixed!

I have no idea how this will work out. I think if they really wanted to grab the attention of the TES crowd specifially, they'd try and bring the game to consoles as well since that's where most of the previous TES games have been sold for. Plus, that other big MMO is not a console title, so potentially there's a large market there.

But now that it's only (for the time being at least) coming to PC/Mac, they must have something up their sleeves to draw attention to it. I don't think it's just the TES label that will have to bring in the players, that's probably not enough. So, if you're making a MMO from a franchise that isn't known yet for it's MMO-bility, and you're positioning that game in an already crowded market (MMOs for PC), then you need to have a sound plan to make it work. I can't believe Zenimax started this on a whim, so there's probably a whole lot of stuff that we don't know yet that will be key to how this is supposed to be succesful.

I dont know but MAYBE , just MAYBE they′re trying to attrack another target of people.

Again, the unfamiliar public will not care who made the game. They get turned off by this title, Bethesda or not, they may very well think twice about buying another Elder Scrolls title no matter how different it is or who is making it. They also said the game is fully voiced acted and everyone should know, that cost Bioware a metric ton just on it's own. Add in everything else that goes into building a MMO and you are easily spending millions creating it.

It's pure denial if you believe this game isn't costing a crazy amount to create. Bioware has also stated that just because of full voice acting, it automatically costs them a lot more then usual when creating new content. That won't magically go away just because it's Zenimax Online and their arrogance is going to greet them with one hell of a wake up call soon enough. They are already planning expansion content for the game ffs.

I think they made a mistake with the Announcement.

Should have been some Gameplay Footage and a Trailer similar to the Fus Roh Da one.

This is exactly it, artistically it doesn't look as good as Guild Wars 2, the *action* combat sounds less action based than Guild Wars 2, it won't have as much content as WoW, and it alienates core TES fans by abandoning all the mechanics of the single player series. So, the target audience is, people who don't like PvE as much as the people who play WoW, and don't like PvP as much as the people who will play GW2?...who aren't already TES fans?

Yeah, that'll totally dominate the market.

Sure it cost Millions of Dollars, but you don't know how much.

That is pure Speculation and serves no purpose.

That beeing sayed, since both Skyrim and TES:O where made simultaneously, it didn't hurt Skyrims Development one bit. (and im sure Skyrim wasn't cheap eighter)

It's funny, because the things that I love about the Elder Scrolls would be so simple to replicate in an MMO. Emphasis on luminous skies, verdant natural scenery with lots of green, good weather and sounds, living cities, a first person combat system without classes, and the ability to play the game as you please without being forced into raiding, PvP, etc. This would've cost them so much less to produce and yet appeal to so many more.

Wasn't the Alduin's Wall CGI announcement trailer for Skyrim similar in scope? Gameplay footage followed later and this seemed to have worked just fine for them.

That being "said", where did I ever state that this game affected Skyrim's development in any way, shape, or form? That statement is out of left field and serves no purpose.

Yes but that wasn't an MMORPG, it was just the sequel from the TES Singleplayer RPG.

MMORPGs are a bit special in my opinion, since most people would speculate (like now) the weirdest things for the Game if its just a boring Trailer followed by a Print Magazine Coverstory.
