That's good to know. I don't have anything against WoW but an Elder Scrolls online game should be an Elder Scrolls game, not a Warcraft game.

I also really, really hope they don't retcon any of the monster designs from each of the games for each area; I'll be really disappointed if I go back to Morrowind and discover that Mudcrabs there just look like regular crabs instead of some sort of cool little creature. Boy, I hate retconning, especially design-oriented retconning.
