People, such as myself "hammer" away at it because that IS what we want. You know the fans, those that play ES games. Its like craving chocolate ice cream and getting a saltine cracker instead.

Putting skyrim and ESO in the same sentence is a total mistake, it'd be like saying Star Citizen would make a lot of sales because of GTA V or something similar.
A very similar comparison would be to say "SW : TOR will be so successful cuz KOTOR rocked", we all know how it ended and ESO goes directly the same way.
Open beta is starting soon, they are giving a key about to everyone and their dog to week-end betas, based on this, people will be able to judge from themelves if they want to put 15$ a month on this thing.
You're a Hardcore Survivor!
You not only survived the zombie apocalypse, but did it with style! Your mastery of zombie knowledge, survival tactics, and weaponry is nearly unmatched. Congratulations, for you are hardcore!
Well you are both incorrect as was Jean-Luc a page or so ago saying a small player base for SWTOR , when 1 million log in per month.
I played console MMO's for just under ten years and yes those 3 MMO's cost $15 a month. Also how long has that Final Fantasy game been on console/s now is it like 14 years or so with a subb no less.
In other words , console gamers are screaming for more MMO's on their machines.

You have to remember that they will be UPDATING the MMO, to give NEW CONTENT and on top of it, the most important feature your paying for, is to SHARE IT with OTHER FANS of ES Games like SKYRIM and PAST ES games.
Theres a reason they are making this, a lot of SKYRIM players attempted to make SKYRIM ONLINE so they could enjoy this feature and if you ask all those people if its worth it to have a SKYRIM ONLINE made, they would tell you, its definatly worth the sub, I know I can.
So, what exactly were you expecting then? Single player MMO? The same quality of graphics?
Single player MMO has a term, its called solo playing, and they even say you can do this, even in ADVENTURE ZONES at 50+, or you can join friends its up to you.

The video itself shows it to be like SKYRIM and its graphics, you might want to change youtube settings off default if that's what your watching it at. its only 360p, and even then it only goes up to 720p.
LOL. Oh fisty...
ESO is about as much a Sandbox MMO as your head is a Pumpkin.

LOL you mean the sub that you pay with the cash shop on top and then the content you'll have to pay for separately as well? Your sub pays for you to rent access to the game and for them to pay for servers. Actual development definitely comes out of those dollars as well but as with most games with subs you'll pay a second time to get it.

Skyrim like the previous 2 TES games get NEW CONTENT and UPDATES already.......and an endless supply of it from modders that SHARE IT with OTHER FANS of TES games. Without having to pay a monthly fee and its an ACTUAL TES game and not a game using the TES NAME.
And yes, people want SKYRIM ONLINE. Not DAOC 2 using the TES NAME ONLINE.
This game is not offering the gameplay, the game style, the quality story, the freedom....what is it offering to those fans wanting a TES game online? just names of places, people and slight graphics that are a like?
I don't recall buying Skyrim or any other TES game for graphics, nor for names of people and places.

I think ESO shop will be like blizzards. No cash to ingame currency conversion. They made mention of name changes and such.
I just have to direct you to all the official footage on the game.
But the fact that so many people anticipate this game and want to play it world wide by the millions, I can honestly say that Skyrim Fans had to do a lot with that, and so did past ES games. You wouldn't even see anywhere close to the support for this game if all of them were just mmo fans. Its even so anticipated by gamers that its even showing up on all these lists as the most anticipated game of 2014!! That's saying a lot for SKYRIM fans supporting the game.
http://www.elderscrollsonline.com/en/news/post/2014/01/06/eso-hits-most-anticipated-lists-for-2014
you'll be shocked to see even FORBES is on the list as saying it as one of the best rpg game of 2014 AND BEYOND.
I am Shocked!
Other than EQ:N and Wildstar that "Best in 2014" list is a freaking joke

so any list that doesn't conform to your idea of what is good and bad is a joke? Where's the logic in that? (that's a rhetorical question).
There Is Always Hope!
I'm sry if you see it that way, but I was making a valid point on how SKYRIM players are supporting the game or it wouldn't be even this close to popular. Also I don't think I advertise the game as much as the game advertises itself, one person cannot make this game what it is and be on every anticipated lists of 2014, I think most people look at the game, all of the game data, dev videos released (set to max settings), see what all the devs tell us, look at the history of the company and game, and then give it an honest fair shake and then roll with it. Like what I'm doing.
The idea that you could compare the game play of TESO to the game play of Skyrim or Oblivion is fatuous.
Basically Zenimax Online took the standard themepark MMO formula and attempted to wrap the TES franchise around it as best they could. From the combat system to itemisation, the game is first and foremost an MMORPG, and only a TES game as a secondary concern. You could remove all of the lore from the game, change the UI slightly, and easily turn it into "generic MMORPG number X". The same sentiment of course applied to SWTOR and WAR before it, but the lesson seems to be missed by the "creative leads" behind the genre at the moment (who are almost all dinosaurs in both a literal and metaphoric sense).
TESO won't fail, in the same way SWTOR hasn't failed. That doesn't mean it will succeed however. It will receive the same hype-fueled reception as SWTOR did, and will then dwindle and fall from the attention of gamers in general quite quickly.
Obviously the truth of the matter will escape those amongst us who are still rabidly delusional about these things.
TESO is NOT a standard themepark.
When it comes right down to it. Yes it is a standard Themepark.
Its just a bit better at hiding it.

Just because you want it doesn't make it any more viable or realistic. If you're expecting a game that is exactly like a single player MMO but with other real people in it, then you are just setting yourself up for disappointment. $1 million IS what I want, but that doesn't mean I should expect to receive it. Open your eyes to the real world and stop living in the fantasy one. Or, at least stop trying to hate on this game because it isn't that. It just doesn't make any sense.
Depends on how you define standard now, doesn't it? The real problem with your statement is that anyone in a position to confirm or contradict what you are saying from a place of actual knowledge is legally bound to not do so.

Indeed. I hope the NDA drops soon so people who are calling ESO just another themepark can finally see why they are wrong.
I have a prediction. Many of those who don't like the game will continue to claim it is a standard themepark, no matter what the evidence says when it becomes available, because they base their arguments on emotional reactions instead of objective facts.
