Well it's a bit convoluted, but here goes. Back in 2007, Zenimax Media, the parent company behind Oblivion developers Bethesda, formed an MMORPG arm called Zenimax Online. They were given access to some $300 million in development funds, but other than the registration of elderscrollsonline.com, all went very quiet." ~Gerald Lynch (Tech Digest)

There has been a lot of speculation about Bethesda doing The Elder Scrolls (abbreviated as TES) MMORPG, and from what I've read on these reviews, a hundred peope are working on this project diligently and quietly as you now digest this blog. No one knows the truth, thus 75% of the longtime fans say no to MMO. They say keep it RPG. Their arguement is that, they dont want 12 year old kids running around naked without armor, calling them a 'noob'. Or they don't want a Warcraft reality where every one is so consumed with guild status that the great story Bethesda has developed for years is taken out of it. They want the simple adventurer game experience; where you can go in a dungeon and build your chatacter solo style. Or you can be able to go into a city in Cyrodill and kill guards for armor and sell it back to the theives guild, without being banned for it. If they make TES an MMORPG, how will our world in Tamriel be? How can such a brilliant solo game function online?

As one of the few 15% that agree making TES an MMORPG, a brilliant idea...I will tell you how. Can you imagine a game that allows you to travel through Cyrodiil, Morrowind, High Rock, The Summerset Isles, Hammerfell, Black Marsh, Skyrim, Valenwood, and Elsweyr?

Could you imagine a world where the Dark Elves bring sophisticated havoc with the Dark Brotherhood in Morrowind, Bretons and Orcs handle the best Fighters Guild contracts in High Rock, High Elves take back the Mages Guild rightfully; accepting the gifts of necromancy in the wondrous Summerset Isles, Redguards rule the rugged wild lands of Hammerfell with sword and bloodlust, Argonians actually get to be liberated and conquerors of the murky mallow swamps in the Black Marsh, Nords have the better ale, weapons and armors crafted in the high mountains of Skyrim, Wood Elves hone ancient archery in the legendary forests of Valenwood, and Khajiit create their own theives guilds of rivery in Elsweyr? While the new Emperor and his Imperial's still reside in the beautiful capital of Cyrodiil. Not to mention, there is still a choice to leave your nation and travel to any of these lands mentioned; only to form a truce and bring more influential power to your guilds and factions. Of course this is only a glimpse of the imagination an MMORPG could offer.

I believe that if Bethesda truly acheived this, then there would be no limit of gameplay this MMO experience could offer. We could still have our lore, while still enjoying the traditional story line and culture that TES has so gracefully established for us. If anyone can do it Bethesda can! And for the noobs that decide to run around in their draws taunting you, there will be high level guards implementing order in each city and on the roads. There could be new laws like indecent exposure and public drunkeness which could be implemented. Jail would be seriously consequencial and if a murderer assaults you or a theif steals someone's armor or weapon, or random items, if the guard catches that person and he or she refuses to go to jail, they will have to fight their way out of the city or vincity. If the criminal dies or turns him or herself in, the stolen goods will be returned back to the players and the thief or murderer will be hauled off to jail. Thus if you steal someone's stuff and sign off (cowardly), you will automatically lose all stolen goods to make it fair. This way the thieves can work their way out by killing the guards if they are that good, or if they could get pass the avengers of the victim. This will make doing crime fun and challenging. Thus making that long journey off the road must be done at your own descretion and risk.

Or could you imagine a king or queen system, where your guild leader; which would be the king or queen of that region owning a castle; designed by that leader with population etc, in Cyrodill and a rogue guild or rival Kingdom of knights come from a place like Hammerfell to challenge that king in Cyrodill? You could either bring an army of 40-100 with a massive NPC style. A leader and his knights having a number of hired henchmen to face off; or if you wanted, you could just bring a PVP 5 verses 5, where a king or queens best face off. Whoever stands claims the castle. I could imagine it being so detailed that when one player falls, his partner defends him, while you could still watch your partners in melee dead. Or you could even decide to betray your kingdom to live and become allied with the enemy, having plotted the treachery out prior. Like the original RPG there would be no limits! You can attack anyone, turn on anyone but be prepared to face consequences of action. The only challenge would be there is no saving. All your activity is already saved, so if you mess up your reputation, there is no paying off the theives guild, to take the heat off. You will have to make diplomatic ammends with real time players. Wouldn't that just be awesome?!

All this could be possible with TES being an MMORPG. So now us 15% are asking the huge 75% to considered these ideas, and let us hope someone important hears us. We just want excellent game play. We just wanted something real and never done before. A game that will take us where no MMORPG Has taken us before. I believe Bethesda can do it! 75% let me hear your thoughts on this matter? ]]> Serverus Ecru http://www.gamershq.com/forum/blogs/serverus-ecru/78-elder-scrolls-massively-multiplayer-online-role-playing-game.html http://www.gamershq.com/forum/blogs/ze-tomb/57-little-swunt-vu10-2.html Thu, 12 Nov 2009 10:29:26 GMT I went on a nice lil 12ped swunt with my ex-mentor.

The game has an array of puzzles to solve to move forward, some of them being quite difficult and innovating. The story is simple and excellent, it deals with a robot in love being separated by villains, who we should take care of eventually and rescue our girl. The game was just excellent, definitely worth it.

Here's the ending scene from the game.

I've been back in for about 4 days now, MY first little 10ped hunt had a nice 22ped return on it. I finally sold the last of natural stone for a soc mate. All I've gotta sell now is a Mindforce Chip from a global 2-3motnhs ago if I remember correctly. :laugh:

Atm my online stats are 4:1 (4 wins - 1 loose). 1 DC, others weren`t so hard. Lost to a guy who did a nice dojo core rush with empire... Gonna do some updates about it and prolly some videos as well.


Stay tuned!


EDITED: it appears its 3:1 actually, i have 5 played ladder games but the DC which happened at the start didn`t count i suppose.

There seems to be some weird stuff with upgrading cars.

M3 E92 is a lot faster than anything else i have tried from tier 2 and also half of tier 3? Of course i`m not an expert on cars but cmon, newest M3 upgraded to race standarts is a lot better than the mighty porsche GT2 tuned for racing? Doesn`t seem right... M3 have 771 BHP 0-100 2.0x seconds, max speed 345kph - sick!!!


Also - you can upgrade Lotus Elise quite a lot (tier 2 car) but you can`t improve Lotus Exige (tier 3 car) that much really. Standart Exige is a lot better than Elise but in the end upgraded Elise is A LOT better than upgraded Exige. Sure i could understand that in real world Exige is already "as good as it could be" but still it seems a bit weird...


One more thing... Tier 4 cars (the supercars) - only things you can do is balancing and that kind of settings - no body kits or anything. Come on, koenigsegg CCX really need that spoiler as some who watches top gear already know (they did 2 runs btw, 1 without and later 1 with the spoiler and it was a lot better). + i bet you can always make better body kits specially for track and besides you can`t use slicks on the road, so that might be another upgrade you could add to the car. ]]> Futurama http://www.gamershq.com/forum/blogs/futurama/44-nfs-shift-weird-stuff-about-cars.html
