If this is true, RIP WoW. A TES MMORPG would be like EverQuest 2 should've been. No one will want to play anything else.
I'm just as excited over this.

All Elder Scrolls games are boring shit that have more style than substance. However during the 80 hours of playtime you need to realize that you're having a great deal of fun.
I could say exactly the same about WoW, from my point of view.
Fun makes a game, and I much prefer the TES setting over WoW's one. So I'd have fun playing this. So they have my money. It's a win-win for me and the company.

But we're not talking about your point of view. Since you think it's going to be a "WoW killer" and "no one will want to play anything else" we're talking about the point of view of WoW's nine million subscribers.
Which will be a lot like the views expressed in this thread. Elder Scrolls kinda sucks.
Edit: And it will take a megaton perfect game to even scratch WoW's subscriptions. It is going nowhere until WoW 2: WoW harder comes out or another Blizzard MMO comes out. Alaan fucked around with this message on 12-22-2007 at 02:06 PM.
I'm waiting for WAR and then BioWare's Old Republic MMOG. :3

Hahahahaha, you're such an idiot.
WoW got most of its players because the Warcraft Universe has actual backstory and lore reflected in the gameplay that makes a world that doesn't seem like a complete rip-off of Tolkien. Granted, a lot of that lore has been butchered and some of it is strikingly similar, but TES doesn't even attempt to be different from every other generic fantasy setting. It's the same shit: dark elves, light elves, wood elves, humans, etc. with furries thrown in.
I guess the WoW graphics just irk me. I'd rather play a generic fantasy setting that looks more realistic, but that's just me. That's why I play EVE Online. Not anything put out by SOE though, because they curse MMO's to dismal failure. EQ2 doesn't interest me in the slightest.
Different strokes for different folks. Will either be fantastic, or crap. Mortious fucked around with this message on 12-22-2007 at 06:52 PM.

That's what got it originally. The rest of the people are playing because it's an MMO that is easy. (i.e. 90% of the retards that actually still play)

It's more enjoyable because it's easy
Didn't say it wasn't, just said that's why they play.
I can't fucking stand MMOs anymore and I can still stomach WoW because there's actually some form of instant gratification.

Actually WoW got most of its players because Blizzard's games are so formulaic and overrated that each one has more or less been a patched version of the last until they had developed a large enough fan base that they could just rip off Warhammer/Lineage/City of Heroes and no one would even care because Blizzard is the ultimate [sic].

I keep hearing EQ2 is really good now.
From what I've seen, the group content in the expansion sucks, and there's more kill 10 birds quests than you could ever want.
That, and the itemization leaves a lot to be desired.

The only Blizzard game I had played before WoW was Diablo II and I got so bored of that halfway through that I used a character editor to make my character a mini-God so I could plow through the rest and see the pretty cut scenes.

Seriously. The gear in RoK is insane compared to the old world. Oh.. look I just got this lv 1 two-handed axe 8-13 damage with +6 STA and +7 STR AND 25 hps. Mage staves with +10 INT at level 10. Robes that add combat power regen and spell damage..

They tried to copy Burning Crusade. Except Blizzard was smart enough to not completely fuck up low level gear, and make sure that in the quests in Outland, every class and spec has upgrades to seek out.
I brought my troll warrior to Silvermoon for a change from Durator and at 17, my equipment is actually mostly Blacksmithed.
