Elderer: The Elder Scrolls Online Confirmed For 2013

The news horn of Game Informer sounds a clear, pure note of announcement: The Elder Scrolls Online, that secret so poorly kept, has been confirmed by Zenimax. How’s this for interesting: the GI article will apparently reveal the “player-driven PvP conflict that pits the three player factions against each other in open-world warfare over the province of Cyrodiil.” Cor!

The key dev quoted by the article – and the lead in the project – is former Dark Age Of Camelot man Matt Firor, who said his team is “committed” to making the MMO into a Best Thing Ever. Lucky they’re not feeling indifferent about the whole affair. That would have been awful. Teaser type trailer will turn up tomorrow, apparently. (The press release even claims that the game will be featured in magazines! Amazing.)

If it plays like an Elder Scrolls game and not something like WoW, I'll be all over this.

Can't wait to slap some shit as a Khajiit Monk.

I think the idea is, Crump, that if Player housing is implemented people would spend 90% of their time there. Could be hard because they'd want to strike a balance between having houses and keeping the world populated.

That's the same reason I believe Blizzard said they don't want to implement something like Guild Halls, even when their phasing system makes it very possible.

Those weren't problems for Ultima Online and FFXI (The overall badness of FFXI aside).

Developers already said it's going to be WoW clone bull shit.
Maybe everyone will learn this time. (Spoilers: No.)
