Right on schedule, we've got more Elder Scrolls Online info to sink our teeth into! Zenimax Online continues their twice-a-month "Ask Us Anything" series with today's entry on Lore. For those of you who'd like a summary, here's a bit of a run-down:
Earlier this week ZeniMax Online posted another in their Ask Us Anything series for The Elder Scrolls Online. In these roughly weekly/biweekly posts, the developers take questions from you, the community, and try to answer them to the best of their ability. For this week's AUA, it's time for another variety pack; topics from PvP and titles to lore and spell functionality are all included in this batch of fan-submitted questions.
The Elder Scrolls Online is an interesting proposition. Not quite an MMO, ZeniMax Online hopes to bring that single-player RPG feeling to the online world in a whole new way. For studio general manager Matt Firor, it’s a challenge that’s multiplied by bringing the game to PC, Mac and next generation consoles.
This, however, isn’t Firor’s first rodeo. After working in online gaming for the past 25 years and titles like Dark Age of Camelot under his belt, he was picked by parent company ZeniMax Media in 2007 to head up ZeniMax Online. Since then, his team has been working away on a new way of bringing Tamriel to life.
Each week, Chris "Syeric" Coke gives his unfiltered thoughts on the MMO industry. Taking on the news and hottest topics, Chris brings his extensive experience as a player and blogger to bear in Experience Points. This week he looks at why subscriptions may be a bad choice for The Elder Scrolls Online and Wildstar.
Last week, the MMO community was collectively blown back on its heels as Zenimax announced that The Elder Scrolls Online would adopt a subscription business model. This came only hours after developers at Carbine announced the same for WildStar, the highly anticipated sci-fi MMO coming early next year. With Final Fantasy XIV's lessened subscription model added to the mix, players are rightly asking whether free-to-play was a fad now falling by the wayside. Are these three games heralds of the changing tide? I don't think so and here's why.
Planning on making the journey to PAX Prime this weekend? Zenimax Online will be headed that way as well with the upcoming MMO, The Elder Scrolls Online.
"Hmm a flickering light off in the distance, I wonder what it could...holy crap!! It's shooting fireballs at me!"
Like many Elder Scrolls fans, this scenario might have been similar to what your first encounter with a Flame Atronach was like. Well don't let your guard down just yet adventurer. Zenimax Online Studios has released a news post with all the details about these floating fireball-throwing menaces making their way back to Tamriel in its upcoming MMORPG, The Elder Scrolls Online.
Earlier this month, ZeniMax treated us to a feast of The Elder Scrolls Online gameplay direct from QuakeCon. This week, the studio followed up on the livestreamed extravaganza by answering a whole range of questions based on what we saw.
If that wasn’t enough, the team has also released a beautiful new wallpaper featuring concept art from Fungal Grotto, the goblin and dreugh-infested dungeon that featured in the developer tour.
