There was an interview from one of the lead devs who said that nothing could be innovated within the genre anymore. Quote is in the first question:Fiz_The_Toaster said:I'm still confused as to why they thought this is a good idea, and I really don't think they understand the MMO space like they think they do.
I'm utterly underwhelmed by these screen shorts, yeah they look pretty, but it just looks...dead to me. There's nothing in them that show how lively the game will be or even the 'character' of the game.
Even though it sounds like every interview I've read about innovation.Woodsey said:Both KotORs always felt quite noticeably different to me. TOR far less so. Yeah, they had the Sith Empire versus a Republic, but there was a greater mythology around that - stuff like the Mandalorian Wars - which differentiated it greatly.

So that's inspiring.
ever tried EVE?DugMachine said:There is too much Daystar in this thread. MY HEAD IS SPINNING
OT: Hmm seems like they're going for that gritty but cartoonish look? I'll probably try it out once it's out as I've been looking for a new MMO that's not GW2 or WoW
Let me correct myself haha. I want that style with the swords and magic. So like WoW and GW2 but.. not GW2 and WoW if that makes sense?LordNerevar said:ever tried EVE?DugMachine said:There is too much Daystar in this thread. MY HEAD IS SPINNING

The Warcraft Franchise wasn't an MMO series either, unless you count tower defense and Starcraft with orcs.scw55 said:TESO isn't helped by the fans of the series not being MMO players.
That's because Elder Scrolls is generic fantasy, just like Halo is generic SciFi and CoD is generic FPS. It's the IP, the logo, that matters. Like t-shirts: T-shirt are identical in structure & functionality, all that matters is what is printed on them.Andy Chalk said:There's admittedly not much to see here and if it wasn't for the presence of the Ordinator, the Centurion Sphere and the guy in the Nord helmet, they'd be entirely indistinguishable from just about every other generic fantasy MMO/RPG on the market.
