Yup, But I don't think Bethesda will ever release a Oblivion MMO.

Want to play:SW:TOR
They are trying to get their hands on the Fallout MMO however, it all depends on the (in)ability of Interplay to find the resources to finance it first ...

if you are looking for an Oblivion MMO, Mortal Online looks like it will be VERY close to one
An Oblivion MMO would be great but I doubt they will release one.
I've all but given up on the MMO genre and started playing Single player games again.
Oblivion is what MMOs will be like in 10 freaking years with the way the current devs in this genre innovate and advance their games.
Do yourself a favor and stick with Single player games with the occasional multiplayer game. I've done this and tbh my gaming experience is so much more than it ever was playing bland repetitive MMOs.
I'm currently playing through Fable II with a little bit of CoD4 for multiplayer action. I feel like I wasted the last 5 years of my gaming life on MMOs after playing these games.

Oblivion was good for a console version of Elder Scrolls but theres a reason why most people want an Elder Scrolls MMO and not an Oblivion MMO.
Oblivion starts out great but gets exceedingly complicated and hard real quick.
It is like the MOBS have all of the inside on min/max and you are flailing around trying to figure it out. Because the MOBS were GIVEN their skills and you have to earn them through use.
Fun game but, it does get old after a bit. I found the side quests and regular world stuff outside of the main quest line to be quite interesting.
I also tried downloading the various mods and updates to the game play as well. some worked, some did not and some were just plain rediculous. Although there was some interesting times making playboy pictorals with the nekid mobs!! hehe.
Say hello, To the things you've left behind. They are more a part of your life now that you can't touch them.
I totally agree. When I watched the vid of MO on their front page, and they got into the part with the torch in the sewer-looking tunnel, I thought, "Omg, its Oblivion!" haha....
Though TES4 is good single player game ( Morrowind was better imo)doesnt mean it will be successfull or a good on a MMO platform.
The only title i know that could make both very good was Ultima /Ultima online.
Nope complaining for 5 years is what I did while playing the one good MMo on the market while watching clone after clone being shoved up mmo fans asses for the last five years.

Oblivion, Morrowind, whatever.....
It's all the same, Oblivion has more mass appeal and if bethesda was smart they would take from oblivion for a new mmo more than the others since they were more difficult to get into and we all know challenging games don't sell well.
What may seem like a "Good for consoles" game to you was actually the best freaking Rpg released in over 5 years. I really hate all the morrowind fanbois bitching about Oblivion, Yeah morrowind was better but Oblivion is a fucking masterpiece whether you like it or not.
You wouldn;t get an old school Elder scrolls MMO, it would be Oblivion dumbed down a tad for mass appeal.

I enjoyed the Elder Scrolls RPGs, (Morrowind more than Oblivion tbh) but I just can't see how/why they'd make a good MMO.
Is it the first-person-shooter/melee style of control that people are after, or the open-world feel?
It's going to take a few more years before we really start to see decent FPS style combat in MMOGs, and that open world would rapidly deteriorate once you do away with the difficulty scaling, which would have to happen to allow raw newbies to play in the same world as progressed characters.

think the game is fun now...wait till you start modding it!
i fully recommend this site
www.tesnexus.com/index.php
Now thats funny!
Or this
curiousnoob_02 shouts: "Yay I'm level 30! ..ok what the hell! .. all npcs wear daedric armor now!? who changed their wardrobe?"
Nah yours were funnier
Try the prequel Morrowind as well.
They are working on a MMORPG.
Oblivion is great, with a healthy amount of mods from tesnexus.com, that is.
After a while you get bored of stuff like the level scaled monsters. That is when the OOC (Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul) shines. It removes the leveled lists to fix mob difficulties and adds tons of factions and much harder oposition.
And if you like dressing up your character that game is a treat as well.
Mortal Online should come close on a few acounts, though. (look and feel, huge freedom + first person combat).

Have fun in that world of NPC patatoes.
Being the super patato must be a good feeling I guess....
OP: Take out your horse in Oblivion and ride a bit around: ... you'll see the reason why those graphics can simply not be included in an mmorpg in the next 10 years.
Now multiply the "loading graphics screens" in Oblivion times the number of players that would be playing it on line.
Then come back and post "Why only people who don't know the limits of modern day technology want an oblivion mmorpg".
Then realise why serious game makers shouldn't read these forums. I said serious. No MJ is not included

I have no idea where this mistaken idea comes from. Those graphics are on your CLIENT, not the server. The server couldn't care less how much shiny you've got going, all it cares about is sending you updates on movement of objects (that already exist in your client), and receiving your interaction signals. That's it. Your client handles all of the "loading screens" deal just like a single-player client.
Fun fact- two different indy guys have already gotten Oblivion to run multiplayer (alpha simple version) by making the other player an NPC. I tested one out myself (I have two machines) and it worked all right.
Sort of off topic here, but I personally liked Oblivion better then Fallout 3.
Thats what darkfall was supposed to be but thats not what we got haha
yeah, iv been planning on playing morrowind..planning on getting it when it is released on steam soon (steam leaked some info about it)
anyway i dont get why people are talking about graphics, i was talking about the gameplay itself not the greaphics
ps: thanks for the mod site...OMG beyonce mod.

Yep agreed MO looks very close to Oblivion almost scary so.

I must say that at the time the game was released the game looked awesome, with today's graphic standards the game DOES look pretty dated, still very good for a few years old game, but many games even MMO's have surpased the graphic qualtiy of Oblivion for some time now, unless a person has NOT updated his system for some time then the game might still look better then most current games.
Hate to burst you bubble OP, but Oblivion has nothing on ES: Morrowind. One of the best free roaming RPGs of all time with the amount of content rivalling your average MMORPG. And even Morrowind has nothing on Gothic series.
Although Elder Scrolls is a fun franchise, Bethesda is crap in storytelling department. Morrowind's and Oblivion's quest chains and storylines are contrived, predictable and boring. (not to mention level scaling of mobs)
Quests are written pretty badly and are usually not prepared for more unconventional player actions making them often impossible to complete in the way player wants. Scripts are not written as tight as in other games (BioWare's or Obsidian) which for me was pretty much a gamebreaker.
Oblivion is an eye candy and that's it. Story is MMORPG repeteable and scripted horribly (i've entered some ruler's castle and he was a vamp, pretty obvious as his fangs were sticking out, but no one was making any fuss about baron/duke being a bloodsucker although the NPCs in the streets were complaining about someone killing people in the night and sucking their blood...).
Morrowind was much better although scripting was shite as well. I prefer Gothic series which is written and scripted much better, and it's also a free roaming, and sandbox experience.
Bethesda continues eye candy, sandbox games with Fallout 3 which looks awesome but sucks a major buttage in storytelling, quest departments. Compare writing and scripting in Fallout 1,2 to part 3. Bethesda looses every time.
I prefered Dagger fall when it released, talk about massive game. Morrowind was also a bit better.
But Bethesda is working on a MMO, is either a Elder scroll or a Fallout MMO.
The problem with Bethesda games for me is that it doesn't have the same feeling as a Bioware (or a SSI game if you are old enough to remember them), the npcs kinda feels like they are made out of cardboard. But the games were beutiful for the time they released and they have their good parts, I played daggerfall for a long time.
Still, there is a upcoming soloplayer game called Dragon age: Origins, get it and youll see whqat I mean with the cardboard characters, here is a link to it's webbpage.
The thing that always freaks me out in Oblivion/Fallout is that the NPCs never blink and they don't have very realistic animations, vocal or facial expressions. They're just not believable.
Bioware beats 'em six ways from sunday in that regard. Especially with Wrex who is my all-time favourite RPG NPC.
