I really don't understand how some of you are so absolutely dead set against having dragons in game.
As was pointed out there should be at least a few around....maybe a lot more than we thought since in Skyrim dragons were thought of as a myth so it seems no one really had a solid grasp of the history on what really happened during this era which is so far from the Skyrim era.
And a large number of people are fascinated with dragons.....it seems to be in our DNA since almost every culture has some sort of dragon tale.
Also lets not forget that this will be a large number of peoples first MMO....and who didn't think running into a dragon in their first MMO wasn't the coolest thing? Come on you all did didn't you?
I still remember my first dragon encounter and how it didn't bother doing any ability on my weak wizard and just stomped on me and kept on going like I wasn't even there those many years ago lol
