Skyrim'esq MMO, how much...

[TheKatana]

I voted for nothing.

Why would I want an Elder Scrolls MMO if I can just keep my WoW and get TES on Single Player?

Actually, the MMO's are about showing it off, because it's a lot of hard work to be done to get to the high-end content (i.e. top tier raids), and I can understand this, as long as it's not presented as a "in your face" style; also the MMO's can be played in a "single player mode" configuration, there are a lot of things to do in the huge worlds that are presented to the players, if you want to go down that path. I've done this, in World of Warcraft and in Lineage 2.

So it all depennds on how one chooses to do it; be a more competitive spirit, or a relaxed, laid-back character. I've personally enjoyed the more relaxed gameplay, world quests, exploring, and so on. And those MMO's still had a lot of appeal for me. As for the community... oh well, that's debatable, but it's still bearable even in worst case scenarios.

Also, I have noticed a correlation between the average age of the subscriber base and the quality of the gaming experience.

For instance, EVE Online (average age 30+) allows for a much better quality social gaming experience than World of Warcraft (average age 26-28) - and Runescape's the worst (average age 16-24). I generally don't like going raiding unless I know the people. Drawing kiddie aggro is something that totally ruins it.

To me, making an MMO out of Skyrim would destroy it.

I want to play it relaxed. I don't want to have to worry about all the stuff that goes along with being engaged in an MMO.

Just because they don't make sense to you doesn't mean they don't make sense.

And I sent you a private message, I would very much appreciate you reading it.

Put your purse down.

That cuts both ways, just because they make sense to you doesn't mean that they do make sense.

I'll get round to reading your PM at some point.... when I fancy a good laugh.

It wouldn't make sense to you. That's the point.

You do that.

Anytime I get into one of these MMORPG games, it's usually for about 2 months and it becomes stale. My most recent experience was with Rift. It's visually stunning and fun while you play, but the same thing over and over. I signed on at the 'Pioneers' rate or whatever they called it, and I played for a couple hours each day for a month and a half and it just became a subscription I forgot to cancel before the 6-month mark.

I usually go in with good intentions, but the repetition of the missions and types of missions just kind of grind on you after a while. Skyrim is good for me because it has an end goal to work toward. I've finally come to this realization as a gamer. This is why I also like the Diablos. You play, you finish it, then you look forward to the sequel some time in the next five years. If Skyrim were an endless grind, I would stop playing.

But I digress...
