   22 Jan 2013 ~ 4:55pm ickybodclay Signed up! That trailer really didn't do anything for me, though. More excited for FFXIV: ARR

   22 Jan 2013 ~ 5:11pm Tushon signed up. nice trailer but that won't be actual gameplay :P

   22 Jan 2013 ~ 5:34pm Chooch Never said there was actual gameplay =p

   22 Jan 2013 ~ 5:49pm Tushon Agreed, just commenting on trailers in general.

   22 Jan 2013 ~ 5:59pm Thrax Generic fantasy cinematic #23.

   22 Jan 2013 ~ 6:11pm NullenVoyd I never thought I could be so "Meh" about a TES game, but I'll hold out hope till I see it in action.

   22 Jan 2013 ~ 9:56pm CB I'm finding it hard to imagine successfully translating the ES gameplay into MMO. It'll have the lore, butthat's all. Beyond that it'll just be typical MMO fuckery, just like every other single-player game turned MMO that came before.

   22 Jan 2013 ~ 10:52pm EMT Say you want to make a multiplayer Elder Scrolls. If not an MMO, what would it be?

   Say you want to make a multiplayer Elder Scrolls. If not an MMO, what would it be?

   Skyrim with a party system like Borderlands 2?

    22 Jan 2013 ~ 11:25pm RahnalH102 I believe the above method would work nicely. here's hoping they can incorporate that into a future release.
    
    From what I know of TESO, I would say it has a good chance of being successful in emulating the traditional TES mechanics and just being a quality MMO. Of course you can only tell so much of gameplay based on what the developers show you. I'm not gonna hold it to the standard of Skyrim and the rest since it's not being developed by that studio and a singleplayer RPG is a different beast then a MMORPG.

    23 Jan 2013 ~ 1:00am Thrax Irreconcilable differences.
16. 
    23 Jan 2013 ~ 12:52pm MiracleManS I don't know how I'll feel about this. Reconciling the hero piece of TES with an MMO setting might be too much.
    
    I love the setting, so hopefully they pull it off.

    20 Nov 2013 ~ 9:05pm Tushon Got my invite yesterday for this weekend's beta run.
18. 
    21 Nov 2013 ~ 6:18am Chooch I got my invite as well.

    21 Nov 2013 ~ 7:06am RahnalH102 Ditto

    21 Nov 2013 ~ 3:04pm midga Dangit, I really want one D:
21. 
    21 Nov 2013 ~ 6:20pm NullenVoyd Also got a key, also expecting it to be bland at best, but also willing to at least see what they're going for.
    
    Curiously, I openly admitted on the beta application that I'm very skeptical of a TES MMO.
22. 
    22 Nov 2013 ~ 1:41am trooster89 I got one! I really hope it won't be as disappointing as I expect.
    
    I'd much rather have a coop skyrim.
23. 
    22 Nov 2013 ~ 1:56am Chooch That would be awesome if they had a co-op skyrim. That would be much better.
24. 
    22 Nov 2013 ~ 5:14am RahnalH102 There is a mod for that. No idea how well it works but it's there.

    22 Nov 2013 ~ 9:38am Koreish But do I get to Fus?
26. 
    22 Nov 2013 ~ 1:02pm Requit I got a code for the beta, it starts tomorrow at 6 and ends Sunday. However, I'm going to be working all weekend and won't have a chance to actually play the game, so if anyone else wants the code in my stead, let me know.

    22 Nov 2013 ~ 9:21pm RahnalH102 Should we coordinate a bit if we're gonna be playing in the same faction? Me and a friend who also got one will be in the Ebonheart Pact.
29. 
    22 Nov 2013 ~ 10:01pm midga I was planning on playing Aldmeri Dominion, but I'd prefer to play with people.
    
    -edit-
    
    Though I assume I can make more than one toon on differing factions.

    22 Nov 2013 ~ 10:04pm Tushon I have done precisely zero research, so I'll just jump in wherever you guys are when I get back home tonight. Gotta make a trip to the symphony first.
31. 
    23 Nov 2013 ~ 1:33am RahnalH102 From what I've experienced so far, I would say thta if we do want to group together it may have to wait till Saturday or Sunday of course how buggy a beta can be. Plus log in times, etc.
    
    Make what you want and we'll group up eventually.
