Opinions so far on the announcement?

To me, it just looks like yet another World of Warcraft clone. I was really expecting so much more from the "Elder Scrolls" world. Pity they didn't let Bethesda do it...

From what I've heard. Standard 3 faction MMO with elder scrolls theme. nothing really new so far other than elder scrolls theme.

Will it succeed? Likely.
Will it be a huge (playerbase wise) mmo? well seeing as they picked the exact time that other games such as guild wars 2 and diablo 3 are coming out to announce this, probably not.

Although I dunno. This is just an announcement so there may be more details that could probably make this an mmo that could compete with the bigger ones. They still have time so they could potentially take some the good things from guild wars 2 or something (they have quite a bit to work with if they do) and add it

Not a big fan of MMO's, so I probably won't pick it up.
Sadly, going into the MMORPG business these days is just shooting yourself in the head.

Its not a complete death sentence. It just has to meet an extremely high standard, then exceed it.

Nature of the beast. At least for big series becoming mmo's.

Big game series like elder scrolls goes MMO? series dies or at least takes a ton of flak cause they cant make the game decent (in this case just a lot of flak. seriously elders scrolls not dying any time soon)
Big game series that has always been MMO? GREAT SUCCESS AND PROSPERITY!!! WOOO! cause the company knows what they're doing most of the time...

In all my time playing mmo's (and thats quite a while) I've almost never seen any exceptions (1 or 2 maybe).

So, who wants to place bets on how long it'll be until it either becomes Free-To-Play, or just completely sinks?

$20 in gold pressed latinum on free at launch cause of competition (essentially what happened to DOTA 2). Just get me into the star trek universe and I'll get that for it :P

The thing is, a good quarter of skyrim's fun is that, unless you look for it, there's nothing to be compared to. No one says how good you should be at this or makes you grind out iron daggers because everyone's leevl 100 in everything. Skyrim is a noncompetitive game and that's how it should stay. I myslef will not be playing this MMO just lik every other MMO in existecne, as I am not a competeitive gamer, I SHALL NOT GRIND!!!!
