Elder Scrolls Online
Many of you fellow gamers out there have probably all ready heard tell of an Elder Scrolls mmo. It was announced on May 3, 2012 and is supposed to come out about a year from that date. It has been in the making for several years now and you can find a decent amount of info on it, but you will need to find a wiki and not the real site because they have not released a lot of detail about the game officially. What many of you may thinking is, "Oh my goodness! Bethesda is making an mmo this is amazing!" Wrong! They are only supervising the story line of the game and making sure they get lore and geographic details correct. The game is being developed by a small team known as Zenimax Online Studios. I have not personally heard of them myself but many of you may have. The game is split into three factions that will all be fighting for the seat of the Imperial Empire. The factions are The Ebonheart Pact which consists of Dunmer, Argonians, and Nords. The next is the Aldmeri Dominion which consists of the Altmer, Bosmer, and Khajiit. The final faction is the strangest to me (I have not played the games that came before the 3rd elder scrolls game so correct me if I missed some lore) is the Daggerfall Covenant which is made up of Bretons, Orcs, and Redguard. But where are the Imperials you may ask? Well the game revolves around the Imperials losing power due to so many wars and have made a pact with daedra to resurrect their fallen soldiers so that they can continue to keep control of their lands. Whether it will be all of these factions versus each other or if their will be a sort of neutrality among the factions as they all fight the Imperials is unknown to me, but if any of you know leave a comment so that everyone reading this can be enlightened. Leave a comment about anything on the game! You can even call me a noob if you want to! I mean ill just delete it and go on my merry way, but just go ahead and get your jollies out.

I'm excited but also skeptical about this game. I've always longed for a co-op in the Elder Scrolls, but I'm not sure is MMO is right for it. Also, the fact that Bethesda isn't developing it worries me. Mayhaps the Elder Scrolls VI is in the making, or maybe they're just being lazy (which is entirely out of character). This also may be due to the fact that Dawnguard, the first Skyrim DLC is coming out soon, and they're probably working on the second addition now. Either way, I'm very interested to see how Elder Scrolls Online will play out.
