Is there anyone else here that is really excited for The Elder Scrolls Online? If they offer a pre-order, I think I'm jumping at the opportunity the moment I see it! I never have pre-ordered anything in my life. I believe that after seeing how the Elder Scrolls game series has turned out, I don't know if I could ever pass up playing the online version.

I like MMO's and I love Role-playing games, but there has always been things that bugged me about them at some point where I end up quitting for a few years. I hope The Elder Scrolls Online "gets it" and makes a wonderful and fun game for everyone to enjoy.

Will you be playing the game? Pre-ordering?

I doubt they will make full loot PvP available for Elder Scrolls. Not to mention the fact that combat system in Skyrim was the worst part of the game Imo. Elder Scrolls traditionally focuses on scenery, questing, and RPG elements.

That looks AWESOME!!! I've never played anything online other than Call Of Duty, but this looks promising. Of couse, I'll have to build a powerful enough PC to do it right though. Unless they open it up to us mac users as well.

They are doing Beta testing now, I'm not sure exactly when it started but I signed up last night and I am awaiting to find out if I am in.

I'm really not that excited for it.

It looks like a watered down Elder Scrolls...and I've been a fan since Arena.

It could end up being great, but I think I'm personally just done with MMOs for awhile.

I just signed up for the beta! I am excited for this, especially since Elder Scrolls is known for being a massive landscape. I can only imagine how big a MMORPG can get by Bethesda.

Bingo. As much as I love the ES games I did my six years with WoW (ending in summer of 2011). I just can't get myself motivated enough to start a new MMO after that.

Haha!

Yeah, I basically played myself out of MMO's. I was heavy into Everquest, but also dabbled in WoW. I was thinking of trying Everquest 2 for a change but I seriously don't have time for a MMO. However, if accepted into this beta, I will find the time to beta test it nightly. I find I get addicted to new MMO's, but usually start getting sick of them after awhile but I have hope for this game.

I think I have a pretty good chance of being accepted into the beta testing. I am a mac user and since very very few gamers are on macs, and they will be offering ESOL for mac users as well, I think I have a good shot.

Although, Ive never played one of these massive online role playing games before.
