I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: MMOs and MMORPGs are garbage and no one could pay me enough money to play them. Elder Scrolls is probably my favorite franchise, but goddamn, ESO’s gameplay and exploration are shallow as fuck.
Garbage or not, WOTC is trying to create a permanent online world to catch up digital only players. In addition, just why MMORPG are "garbage", there's enough market opportunity to create a great MMORPG based on D&D ruleset.
