Stevivor's Leo Stevenson writes, "I’ve never been one for MMOs. I’ve never really been one for online multiplayer in general, so the thought of playing with hundreds – or thousands – of other players seemed like anathema. The one time I played World of Warcraft – because a 30 day free account came with my graphics card – I quit after 15 minutes. The Elder Scrolls Online already has 15 minutes on WoW, before it’s even launched. Here’s why The Elder Scrolls Online may make me rethink my opinion of MMOs."

Like the author, I too have never given an MMORPG much though. Never even played one outside of a drunken try in EverQuest at a friends house.
I will say this though, I am looking forward to losing my job, and straining my relationships over this game.
