I don't know why they need to make a MMO for the next game, it is a very bad idea. No one wants monthly fees, paid add ons are good enough. Why woul the Elder Scrolls serise need to be a MMO ? They can do something much more innovative.

For example, they should make an epic game that has single player and multiplayer. There would be a standard multiplayer tdm/dm/capture the flag mode that has a max of 20 players per game, individuals could host servers and there could be dedicated servers. There can also be custom user name maps. you would not use your character from the single player campaign but preset ones.

Then the other game mode will be MMO like, when you reach the top level in the single player game, it gives you the option to join the MMO server which will function as a massive PVP war like server with PVE elements and new quests, it would be like a continuation of the single player where there is a massive war. I remember reading the next game would be the Akavari invasion of Tamriel. There would also be new items in the MMO server that you can't get in the single player game.


This is what the game should be! Not some MMORPG grind.



Sadly I don't think my dream for the next Elder Scrolls game will come true, its going to be a MMO. Just search "Elder Scrolls MMO" on google to see for yourself.

bethesda isn't doing the mmo, another company is, nothing to worry about.

IF there is an MMO, it's probably Zenimax Online and definitely not Bethesda making it. Further, it wouldn't be the next game in the main sequence but a spinoff prequel, if the rumors are true. Third, there's a thread for this already. Fourth, never believe google rumors. They said kinect was the next gen xbox to my brother, did you know that?

Final point, never jump to conclusions and then rant about them. Because then when your conclusion is proved wrong you just get embarassed. I got in big trouble when the false rumor that Skyrim would be an MMO started and I believed the conclusion I jumped to based on the butchered rumor and got mad.

Bethesda can't even come close to acceptably balancing a single-player game, much less the 100x harsher balance demands of an MMO. Of course they won't be making it. Of course?

As said, any MMO/co-op games are being produced by Zenimax Online Studios. Bethesda Game Studios only make single player games.

As to rumors about any MMO being linked to the Elder Scrolls are just that - rumors. If you wish to discuss this further there is a http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1358980-official-tes-multiplayerco-op-thread/.
