it'll die when I will die, and I have no intention to leave soon....

I 2nd your state

No, I don't think it will die, or at least not ANY time soon. Morrowind is very alive for so long, and I myself plan to, if the cd will still be working, introduce my kids to this awesome game. Also, if Bethesda will be smart they will make remade version of Morrowind and spread the word all over the media (aka, with graphics as good as with MGE, Vality7's trees, Phijama and Painkiller Rider style equipment and so on) and whole bunch of other improvements, as I'm sure it would be a blast.

My opinion is that the Morrowind community is just sleeping. The problem is that the Morrowind engine has too many limitations and bugs. (Save game corruption for example), many popular MW modders switched to Oblivion. But as soon as OpenMW is released in a usable state, it will drastically change.

I am one of two people in a religion that is very secretive. We've been around for millions of years, and even now, with only 2 people around, we are still alive.

However, I do not feel obliged to share anything more about my religion on this forum, and I know the forum rules about religion, so that's something else to consider.

Sleeping? Just look at the activity here! It's more alive then it's been the whole time I've been around!

Or maybe..... BOTH. oo:

The community will die when everyone moves on, and I don't think many people are moving on anytime soon.

*sigh*

I go away for a little while and you all begin to doubt your very existence.

I am not certain what is the point of threads such as this except to affirm what we already believe to be true. After all, this is posted in the Morrowind Mods forum - it is not exactly gathering what those in statistics call a 'random sample'.

I do not engage in the pointless debate of which is better, Morrowind or Oblivion. They are each objectively excellent games. However they are different and appeal to different gamers. Ask not which is better, but which is the better fit for your style of play. You should not wonder which is a better fit for me - I am posting in the Morrowind Mods forum.

If I ever mod Oblivion, it will be to alter the main quest so I can enjoy that beautiful world without being molested. Even then it still will have no soul. Voice dialog precludes any real chance of deep characterization, so I choose to live in Morrowind where there is no such obstacle.

I can wish, but I have no expectation, that TES V will be more like Morrowind, more role-playing than first-person shooter. So I don't think I will be going anywhere soon. I think the question that has been asked is answered differently by modders than players. There is hardly any limit to what we can create - by that I mean of content we can add to the game and not so much those things limited by the engine. It does not matter how old the tools are as long, as there are things left to be made then they will be used.

None of those. I am Tetragonian.

I agree, just look at how active it's been around the Morrowind Mods section in the past few days, it's amazing!

[Klaire]

Wikipedia says this is a type of New Zealand spinach.

[Teghan Harris]

Dunno, good question. I think the game will hit a wall of its's limitation's based primarily on the fact it's an old game. We're already seeing problem's with vista and the multi core issue that plagues us with an inability to spread out the hog onto multi core's. I mean I can run Fallout 3 just fine on my gear. Yet morrowind, tricked out chug's by because of it's old engine not being able to recognize newer features.

Cripe's the only way I can see us being around beyond such limitation's is if Bethesda suddenly realizes after , what 10 freakin year's? we still play this game, that they could change out the engine. Thus enabling us to use all the same mod's plus better use of our gear. =)

But sadly that's not going to happen, so yes we will croke eventually. Are we dead now? nah, not even close. WTF are the nay sayer's thinking, when we have people like connary gearing up to drop us a multi gig size mod? I mean are we dead? it's somewhat laughable. But not in an insulting way, but a good way that we ARE still moving along at an amazing rate of modding good nature. (goodness, and anything with "ness" is NOT a word, it's NATURE lol)

[DAVId MArtInez]

morrowind community is already dead.It is a personal affair.Its a single player book. It is as much alive as much you play.And certainly many people forgot books or simply they are busy in life.

P.S. WackaMacka if morrowind would be on oblivion engine with oblivion ui and oblivion talking voice people and oblivion style houses i wouldnt even look at such "better" graphics.

[Sami Blackburn]

It is as much alive as much you play

If that's true then the game is already dead for me. No sir, I disagree, it's alive for as long as people keep modding it, and playing it, I do more of the second, and close to none of the first, but is it dead? Nope.

If it is already dead, then why are there WIPz and RELz every week? :huh:

Why are you even posting? According to you, you've just wandered into the graveyard and are posting with zombies and bonelords.

Good point: And it's also only been open for...oh... 7 hours now.

[Megan Stabler]

sometimes i shame to be so highly pessimistic, but i have any reason to not be.

I see lil kids that fly their hands on the keyboard while i go slow and use 2 fingers. I see youngs that swear "eternal love" for 2-3 months, news that come and substitute other news at a light speed, then i understand that world are speeding. Also, in internet, a period of 6 months seem 10 years, personally i was early in a writting RPG dated 10 yrs ago in wich people called themselves "elder citizens" like they had an age of 60-70..and maybe they have 20-30.

Time run too fast, then i understand that valued communities will become like WWII veterans meetings, for the majority of internet users: will be hard to say, but is the sad truth.

I try to value using good older ways, but become every day more difficult.

If i will have a son or daughter, sure if he/she will see me play Morrowind sure he/she will think at something like as he/she saw a pre-history primitive man with club and pelt.

For this i can't trust to a survival of any community, group, or society in the world: all come and go, and all has an end. Damn myself, i dislike say this but i like justice and truth and i can't be able to sghut up my mouth and not say that the king is undressed if i see him with pants and without their royal dresses.

Yes, at the first ask of MW tutorial i replied mostly that i was killed the strange animal for avoid further pain to him: a single trust, at is done.

[Ashley Clifft]

Dying? *checks bio-monitors* Looks fine to me.

Seriously, even though there aren't many big quest mods in the works (that we know of), there are still plenty of other mods on the way. It also seems like every few weeks new modders pop in, or sometimes other modders reappear after being out of the scene for a while. I also find it interesting how many modellers that there are now, a few years ago there was a handfull that did limited work. Scripters still seem rare though.

Is the Morrowind Community Dying?

I doubt that unless Bethesda closes down the forum, I've been here for 8 years and its still going strong.

[JAY]

My prediction is that the community will progressively slow until the release of OpenMW. Then it'll explode with more life than could ever be imagined.

[Amelia Pritchard]

Wizardry 8, Might & Magic 6 + 7, and Diablo 2 have modding communities...and these games weren't designed to be modded.

Now we mention a fabulous game that is still relatively new to some people (especially those coming from Oblivion "Hmmm...maybe I should check out this Morrowind game") that IS designed to be modded...

The modding community will be around for a long, long time.

[Code Affinity]

Didn't vote, didn't agree with any of the options.

I'd agree with the posts by C_Mireneye and Emma (and probably others as I type so slowly ) in particular. I mean, I don't even mod and I must have been a regular poster for (almost) 5 years and a lurker for a good year or two before then. I like the place, I like the game and I like helping people out. What keeps me coming back here is the people; for me when I joined it was people like Pseron Wyrd, Nerra and Vorwoda (and many more) set the tone of this forum and that maturity, mutual respect and friendliness has continued for years. Perhaps it's the kind of people attracted to the game, I don't know. Whatever: I like hanging out here encouraging and helping people (hopefully without too much unintentional hindering...). It's a haven from the weirdness, wackiness and unpleasantness elsewhere on the interwebs. With people like you lot I can't see this community dying for a long time. :touched: Group hug!!! :hugs:

Tamriel Rebuilt and Province: Cyrodiil will both include lots of quests, and huge lands to explore, do those count?

[Imy Davies]

dude even oblivion is dying!

[Laura]

OH GOD WE'RE ALL DYING! :ahhh: I bet you'll say the TES V community is dying, too! And the game hasn't even been announced!

[amhain]

Don't see anything from "Province: Cyrodiil", and frankly I'd rather see the TR team take on something like that (pre-Oblivion Cyrodiil would be interesting to see!). I'd have to say "Ultima: Redemption" looks more promising than Province, much more so. http://cfkasper.de/ultima/
