Those of us who predicted The Elder Scrolls Online would never make its fall 2013 launch estimate might turn out to be wrong after all: This week Zenimax opened beta signups and posted a riveting six-minute cinematic for the game, prompting both awe and concerns over the game's Elder Scrollsiness. Your mileage may very, but I thought it at least captured the right tone for the PvP setting the game hopes to embrace.
Hit the jump for a look at this week's other top MMO stories. I promise, no one will be shooting arrows at you as you go.
