I only play MP games....I only play videogames to play with other people. That's how I've always played (with my friends on console, father on my old Apple IIe a million years ago), and that's how I want to play moving forward. Since I can't sit down at a console any more since we all grow up and move apart, I turn to online gameplay.

That's just me, but if I were the market, singleplayer games wouldn't exist. It's like alot of things in life, you can't play any sports by yourself either.

I hope it isn't an MMO of the elder scrolls series. That's one series that I think would by tainted by massive multiplayer. The way the game works just does not allow for it, as has been discussed over and over again on the TES forums.

I've reluctantly selected "Audiophile" as my user title. I am a lover of audio, but there is a stigma of ignorance and unscientific fantasy that surrounds that word. If you are an audiophile who believes the nonsense Stereophile and company would have you believe, do some scientific research and reconsider your positions.

For once I'd like to see a MMO revolve around a great story and gameplay rather than just spending hours on end enhancing skills and finding new equipment.

Agreed.

And to the guy who asked me earlier: The above is the reason why i do not want to ever see an Elder Scrolls MMO. It would completely destroy everything that made the Elderscrolls series good in the first place.

The Engine for TES would not work for an MMO, which means they'll have to make a new one if they did [try to make a TES mmo]. if they made a new engine, it'd probably be generic, and then the game content will start being generic after that as well. +3 sword of wolf-slaying anyone?

A MMO for Oblivion would work. Just need some creative people on there to make it work. Make it fun and make it better than WoW.

No it won't, what makes you think Oblivion was about skill...the only way you made it about skill was if you installed Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul, any other way is just too damn easy.
