If Elder Scrolls V was an MMO Would you still Play it?

Absolutely not. Where's that picture someone had around here of Morrowind as an MMO? There's all the reason I need...

"Sell Wraithguardzz cheep! lol!"

Yeah, "If they captured the feel of TES," right- no matter how well it's captured, a couple of the inevitable goldspammers would svck the "TES-ness" right out of it.

"MMORIPOFFS.COM, 100,000 Septimz just $3.50 USD!"

Oh, hell no I wouldn't play an Elder Scrolls MMO. Noway, nohow. :(


There is only one MMO that I will ever play and that is Everquest. I play Elder Scrolls BECAUSE it is not an MMO. I've been there and done that and there is nothing they can do that woud impress me. While your at it, might as well pay to play Call of Duty online! So sick of all you pepole and your MMO talk. For the love of god just drop it!


Aww, its so cute when gamers get their panties into a twist. Cranky from your overloaded thanksgiving meal? :whistling:

I logged on just to vote here and the answer is NO. I have zero interest in listening to teenagers screaming 'you're pwn'd' all day and night. Sorry.

You know, I didn't even think about your typical MMO player when I first voted "maybe. If the community is even half as lame as the people I encountered when I tried out WoW I wouldn't touch it. I was banking on the fact that most Elder Scrolls fans seem to not be "l33t" minded individuals. Plus as other people have mentioned the grindfest that is MMO's was another reason why I couldn't get into WoW. Not to mention the monthly fees. <_<

Although, I wouldn't say no to a future TES title allowing co-op if it did not interfere with the development of the rest of the game. That however is highly unlikely.

Edit* before anyone burns me at the stake :flamed: I'm talking minimum here. As in, the game world doesn't even recognize the other player aside from enemies. Heck, even if they did something like Red Dead Redemptions online it would be awesome.

Pretty much this. Most (read: everyone) people don't even play the damn game. I remember when I played Diablo II, I once went through the whole game but when I tried it on Battle.net, my friends were all; first you gotta do tristran runs until level x, then the first boss runs until level x, etc. Why play the game if you're not going to get through it for real and just grind levels like there is no tomorrow? MMOs are poor excuses of a game.

Thank you, that is indeed exactly what I was looking for. And as I said, it's exactly why I wouldn't touch an Elder Scrolls MMO with a ten-foot pole while wearing a HAZMAT suit. :)

An ES MMO would be about as successful as Lord of the Rings Online and/or Age of Conan. Lets hope Beth sticks with what they do best.

Probably not. It would be hard to compete with Guild Wars 2.

If they "had to" switch, how successful could they have been?

(Seriously asking, I can't imagine a P2P that was successfully making money deciding to go F2P- just think "What are the odds of WoW going F2P?")

If TESV were an MMO I wouldn't play it. Aside from the fact that I'm a plot gamer and can't stand having my immersion in the plot broken by a bunch of rude anonymous strangers, it'd likely be paid monthly. So not, not a chance in Hell.

No

Only in the sense that I don't have internet connection for my xbox because I don't have the wireless router thingy and I'm to cheap to get it

However, if by some random miracle I got a nice PC I would get it but probably only after I got FFXIV :lol:

Only if it were free-to-play like Guild Wars. I can spend the cash one time every now and then to buy a game, but I can't do a monthly subscription fee. It's not that I can't afford it, rather there are some months when I can't play much to make the subscription worth it, and it annoys the heck out of me to throw money away like that. With no subscription, I can pick up a game and play for a while, and set it down when I get busy. That being said, I hope ES V is not an MMO. There's so much more potential to be had in the single-player RPGs that Bethesda does so well. I wouldn't have a problem with a cooperative-play option (as long as it stays an option), but I prefer the classic single-player game. Added to that is the fact that if it's an MMO, there goes all your mods. And I like mods.

Now that is just classic.

And it's sadly true. Even on RP servers WoW is just like that.

I saw that a while ago. That is exactly what it would be and exactly why I wouldn't touch a TES MMO with a ten-foot pole.
