how many computers can even handle an elder scrolls game as is? only really good ones can do a good job at it. now lets add servers, and other people!

must get $5000+ computer!

I don't know about ESO.

But Skyrim can be ran at high-ultra settings WITH ENB (massive graphical enhancement) on a $500-600 machine easy. And that's not even building a computer yourself.

You do realize that there are plenty of different games already out in the market, right?

Don't need to wait for ESO to play something different.

Of course. And none have quipped my interest as much as Skyrim (though the whole first person view thing makes me want to hurl) and now TESO.

I'm half Asian, that's my excuse. I make up for it with my cooking.

What else? What are we talking about here? Subscribers or F2P players is the only distinction I can see you're aiming for, but either way, players are players. 500k F2P players still end ups being enough for a game to run itself.

For some reason I thought he was talking about world/map size -_-

i hope the world is large... i know that a good chunk wont be open at launch so they have lots of stuff for later patches but really i would like to find some new continents such as the one humans came from originally though... that one is a tad icy now

Just a random thought, and I'm probably the only one who would like this, but I always thought it would be cool if the world map started out blank. Blank as in no outlines of the world. Just a blank map. As you explore the world, your map gets filled in. Not in clumps like WoW, but slowly drawn in as if your character was drawing it.

Like an RTS?

He's actually talking about procedural generation, he just doesn't know it. That's being done in Infinity - The Quest for Earth, albeit at a scale millions of times greater.

I think he's talking about an RTS map.

Wow, never heard of that and It looks very cool.

**Mcstunner** · 2013-02-16, 10:47 AM

holy god... just gotta say, that infinity thing looks fucking amazing.

If you read MMORPG.com it's no longer ESO is going to kill WoW.

Now it's Camelot Unchained will kill ESO before it has a chance to kill WoW.

This whole MMO's killing other MMO's thing is getting ridiculous.
