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..)
1) Yes, they're putting a really great amount of effort into making it a great mmorpg
2) Viral/word of mouth.

Though, imo, it's kind of a moot point. I'm not playing this game because it's highly received and well known. I'm playing this game because I like it. Granted, I know that they need to keep membership up to afford the cost of development, maintenance, etc, but as far as making it a really well known, highly seen, frequently public, was really never SE/FF's style.
Imo, the bottom line is this. There are enough people in these forums (and lurkers and others that are keeping an eye out for the game's developement but not looking at the forums) that if this game is good, they'll recommend it or talk about it. That's better thank some big PR campaign, I think.
