ZeniMax forms Online division

[Brother None]

TES:Online was in the works around the time of Morrowind. I had a friend at BethSoft at the time. It got canned for one reason or another.
With Blizzard dominating the market (and the world, basically), I don't think BethSoft would be wise to consider trying to break into that with another TES title. However, I can't think of any other ZeniMax franchises that might even have a chance at beating the Blizzard juggernaut, and they DID specifically say they want to get into the MMO market... so thats interesting. Fallout definitely doesn't have a big enough fan base (yet?). So maybe they will revive TES:OL. Huh..

Blizzard doesn't even remotely dominate the world MMO market, though it fairly dominates the American one. Yet LotR Online was still made, and I believe it's not too unsuccessful.

Wear and tear even applies to MMOs, people will tire of WoW and move on to the next MMO, and more importantly new people will be less apt to join WoW and more interested in new projects.

TES Online would have a nice potential. FOOL remains a stupid idea.

Dark Age of Camelot was great, easily the best MMO I've played Especially the RVR part.
