While I've wanted MP in Elder Scrolls games, I find myself not caring much about this for now. I wanted co-op in the base games, not a monthly sub.

Pretty much this. I've always thought it would be cool to explore the worlds with a friend or few, but I have no interest in a full fledged MMO.

Now if they did Fallout....in fact, I thought they were supposed to be doing Fallout.

They have enough trouble getting their single player games to run properly. An MMO will have more bugs than Lindsey Lohan.

Yeah, that's what I'm wondering. Yeah, I'm guessing it would probably be around the realm of a year before all thine bug monsters be destroyed.

Skyrim Online might just be your thing then.

Still in an early state though.

Interplay (the old Fallout IP holders) were given the rights to do one with certain condition which they did not meet. Zenimax sued them and earlier this year won the rights back so we'll probably see one but not for a while yet.

Am not a big mmo guy...but, it's shaping up to be a fun looking game and might end up getting it. Next gen console versions as well, I wonder?

PC and MAC only (so far)...

Some more details (curtesy of Gametrailers.com)

• Releasing in 2013 for PC/Mac.

• ZeniMax Online's 250 Person Team began development on the game in 2007.

• Takes place 1,000 years in the past.

• Fully voice acted & features a third-person perspective.

• The game uses a hotbar to activate skills like other traditional MMOs.

• Crafting, alchemy, and soul gems will be included.

• There will be Daedric Princes like Molag Bal, who acts as the game's primary antagonist.

• There are three player factions: Ebonheart Pact: The Nords, Dunmer, and Argonians; Aldmeri Dominion: Altmer, Bosmer, and Khajit; Daggerfall Covenant: Bretons, Redguard, and Orcs.

• Hitting the level cap takes roughly 120 hours.

• The game features three-faction PvP, which has players fighting to take over keeps and using siege weapons.

• 100 v 100 battles will be possible.

• The most accomplished PvP player on your faction becomes Emperor upon taking control of Cyrodil's Imperial City.

So who's in? Aldmeri Dominion? Anyone?

Epic. I have never bought an MMO....this may be the first.
