In the "not SWTOR" news column a somewhat interesting rumor just surfaced.
It's been leaked (by the court filings of the case between Interplay and Bethesda over the Fallout MMO Interplay is working on) that Bethesda is working on it's own "World of Warcraft type MMO". Now VG247 claims to have been "very reliably informed" that this MMO is in an Elder Scrolls MMO. Combined with earlier rumors that elderscrollsonline.com has been registered by ZeniMax (Bethesda's parent company) as well as a slip-up stating that the next Elder Scrolls game is set 200 years after Oblivion and it's looking quite likely to be true.
Apparently the MMO has been in development since late 2006. If we estimate a development cycle of four to five years then that means that this "Elder Scrolls Online" might release around the time that Star Wars: The Old Republic is slated to be released as well.
Of course, it's all just rumors for now. But could be interesting. Oblivion at least always felt like an MMO you happened to be playing alone anyway.

NOOOOOOOO
OMG this game would be awesome.
Agreed, Oblivion really felt like a solo MMO. So much so that I used that exact description to get my parents into WoW. They refuse to group with strangers, but love the AH etc.
So long as the entire leveling system is scrapped, it should be interesting enough to get me to try it. Would love it if there was no levels/exp at all. Just get better with whatever you use... I miss UO sometimes...
yes just like UO, that would rock, just develop skills and thats it.I would play it! I cant stand the grind of level systems. UO was just awesome in its time.
