"Died", I deliberately placed "-" to mark that it was not meant in a literal sense. Not that the game is dead, empty, gone. Take a moment to research the grammatical fidelities of the English language.
this post: "i don't like the idea of this game! it will fail!"
my answer to this post: "i don't like the idea behind this post! IT WILL FAIL!"
also, as i said before, plz name 5 examples of a successfull open world pvp game
"I'll never grow up, never grow up, never grow up! Not me!"
It's obvious what will happen to this game from launch.
At first there will be a huge amount of players - TES fans, DAoCers, usual MMO nomads and those bored of their current cames and the like. Then will come the massive drop in numbers as people grow bored of it, finish the content, run out of stuff to do and move. What will be left will be the usual die hard crowd who have too much invested and/or love the Cyrodiil pvp.
But who knows what direction the game will take in that time. If they're smart they will try to provide other reasons for people to hang around other than the AvAvA.
Actually I have understood you very well.
You asked the question so I will give you my answer...
This game will be the largest epic failure of any MMORPG ever released! It will sell huge numbers at the start because of the knowledge people have of the Elder Scrolls Series. After getting in and trying it, it will fall flat on its face because the game play won't be there nor will there be any reason to continue playing. The reason for this prediction is because newer MMOs cannot be different from the top dog. They have to include everything the top dog has then add groundbreaking better features/options/endgame all kinds of stuff on top of what the top dog has. Just being "different" won't cut it by a long shot.
Dont fault me if I dont take stock in your wild guess. At this point saying this game will fail or be the best MMO of all times is coming from a place that has nothing to do with fact. We know so little of the game that at this point if the game was a person, what this thread is doing would be called prejudging. We should be much more civilized then that at this point. I personally think ESO hold some good promise. Who really can say how well it will really do?
I would say that if a game is aiming for a different audience that wants different things then they don't have to offer the same things though it still has to be "as good".
I assume that you are talking about "WoW" as the big dog.
I don't like WoW. don't like it. There is very little in WoW that I would ever want in a game that catered to my preference.I do recognize it as a "good" game that does a lot of things right for its audience but no game that is released has to have anything that WoW has in order to capture and keep my attention.
I imagine others think the same way as well.
Having said that, I don't imagine that ESO will cater to my preference and they will have to either include many things that will keep the WoW refugees happy or make their other components so good that it won't matter.

I think that because players have been bit by several theme park style games released over the past few years it's made them jaded towards any new MMO's that come out. Maybe it's a feeling of been there, done that. They look more for reasons not to like a game rather than reasons to like it. "Meh, i don't want to shell out sixty bucks for a game I'm only gonna play for a few months." "Awe man, this game has voice actors. It's gonna fail like SWTOR." "Another theme park? Why doesn't it have open world PvP so I can at least have fun ganking newbs?"
Die hard fans will declare "I'm gonna play this no matter what!" Same as the guys that stuck it out through SWTOR because they actually liked the game or the IP.
Others will declare "It's not exactly how I think a game should be (sandbox, free for all world pvp or whatever). Do not want. It's not like Game XYZ. It's gonna fail. It's too much like Game XYZ. It's gonna crash and burn."
People with common sense will say, "Hmm, this looks like it could be interesting. I'm going to wait and see how it pans out before I decide if I'm gonna buy it or not."
Granted I fall into the die hard fans category just because I love TES.
You people take this board way too seriously.
This is just a silly game which no doubt many of us, including me, will waste countless hours on. But before it launches, everyone is just going to sit here, navel gazing about things we've barely seen the smallest fragment of actual content from. Using said fragments, people are going to articulate fantastic arguments about how good, or bad, or ugly this game is before it is even released. And after the release date, many of you are going to either come back here and whine about the game (the majority) or stay away because you are having too much fun (for at least 2-3 months) until finally everybody comes back to do the same thing about the next new toy coming down the pipe.
Because, you are addicts and you are afflicted by the curse of eternal unsatisfaction.
Cheers.
Exactly. This just like FML but about MMOs.

in 5 years I will be playing the next TES (single player) and CU
Sounds like you're trying to predict the future without paying attention to the present. Have you looked at the CU KS lately? Maybe you should.

It has everything to do with facts released on game play by the company Zenimax Studios. Have you done any investigation into this game at all? Why do you think there are so many negative threads about this game already and it's only in beta? Now before you say beta isn't release, beta means game play is locked down. The way the game is going to be played is shown in the beta. The things about how combat works, the features of the game are locked down. Bug fixes and maybe small things intended to be added but not yet in the game are done during beta, but the main part of combat, zones, game play options are all locked down during beta. So saying a prediction has nothing to do with fact is not true. Do some research on the game and you'll find out facts about it.
True. Five to seven years in the current MMO climate is success, not failure.
There isn't a "right" or "wrong" way to play, if you want to use a screwdriver to put nails into wood, have at it, simply don't complain when the guy next to you with the hammer is doing it much better and easier. - Allein
"Graphics are often supplied by Engines that (some) MMORPG's are built in" - Spuffyre
you make these claims based on what information exactly? your vivid imagination?
people complained about this game the moment it was announced, most complainers here don't have a clue what they are talking about when complaining about this game, see my last post for an example.
Duh! This has nothing to do with the grammatical fidelities of the English laguage so stop picking on him. This has to do with you posting something that even as an exaggeration is nothing close to the truth. Yes, the game completely underperformed sub wise, but it is still in a relatively healthy place compared to most other MMOs on the market. It didn't meet my expectations, but I wouldn't have used the word dead in any sense, let alone a literal sense. Anyway, this is off topic.
I can't tell yet if this game will be a hit or a failure. I haven't seen enough to really make a judgement.
There Is Always Hope!
Totally disagree. You're much mistaken if you think the majority are "hooked" on the top dog at the moment.
Personally I've ditched WoW relatively recently and am looking forward to this one. I've seen the odd person trying out other MMOs over time, but this one is the first time a large number appear to be going for the same one. It's not actually going to take all that much to seperate the player base from the top titles. Most of us are kinda bored and fed up with it
It's far from impossible to take on the number 1 space in the market - But there needs to be great graphical appeal. By that I mean very appealing and detailed, but NOT life-like and dull. This one makes wow look like a naff cartoon, and Conaan look like the dullest title ever. The level of work going in so far I'd hazard a guess will be sufficient to form a longer term migration.
