The Elder Scrolls Online is the most anticipated game in almost every "Top 10" list I've read and if it works out well for TES:O I'm afraid that it'll be the same story as with XI and WoW.

I would like to hear your opinions
1. Is SE doing enough?
2. What do you think is the best platform to make this game famous (YouTube advertisements, TV, etc..)
I would not worry too much about ESO. Sure they will probably win game of the year but thats because there are a lot of people that like that game for reasons that I can't figure out. I played Oblivion and Skyrim and was both times terribly disappointed at how easy they were to beat. I'm pretty sure the mmo version of those games will be better but I doubt the people who like those game the most surely do not know what they are missing if they have never played XI or XIV. I can bet my life the ESO will not be half the game ARR will be. I think Bethesda has a lot of work to catch up to SE as far as MMOS are concerned. Hopefuly in their online version of those games they have inproved the horrendous combat style or lack thereof and character creation because those things are just ridiculously horrible imo. Im also willing to bet that there will be lost of cheat codes that will render playing ESO pointless like there were on the console and pc versions. Also ESO from what I hear will be a huge cut and paste job as far as the world is concernned since they are stitching all the maps together from previous versions.
