Full Version: Online Play
So being the newbie I am and all....... I've been playing Morrowind for about 3 days now and friggin love it, but my question is: "Is there an online function to play this game on like game spy or anything like that? And if so how do I go about it? And if not will or could it possibly come to that?" This game is Killer and I'd love to be able to play online with others.
Hey there Dioxide, welcome to the forums, have fun and don't spam 
Nope, absolutely not ever going to happen. Ever. Not possible
if you use the search feature you'll find there have been numerous threads on the topic, and it has been discussed to death. It's not possible to do without hacking and totally re-doing the entire game, which would be illegal for starters. ;P
I suggest we leave it at that and use this as a greeting thread. ;D

Well that sux but hey you can't have em all. Is there talk about another expansion for the pc version? or will all that just be whatever people come up with there constructon sets??? I love this game for that feature.
Hi there, welcome to the forums. Have fun, chill and always remember to eat your greens. There are sections on the forum where you sort of share the experience with others - details of yourself, your in game character etc.
There are about two and a half thousand named NPC's in the game without the expansions. Add another 250 if you have the expansions.
Makes you think - doesn't it!

Welcome!
I too have been on this forum for only a short period of time, and already I have learned a lot.
Using common courtesy and good comportment will get you far. Also, try to use the English language as best you can; of course, for many on this forum, English is a second tongue (in particular, those from the Isle of 100,000 Actors, New Zealand), and they may be excused. But good spelling and good grammar better help to convey your real meaning.
Also, don’t be afraid to ask a question. The only meaningless question is the one not asked. But before you begin posting “When is MEMod being released?”, please do yourself a favor and use the search function. The moderators (and the other forum users in general) greatly dislike the same query over and over, and will most certainly resort to pointing out the question was answered elsewhere, along with a warning not to engage in such behavior.
And as others have said before, please read carefully over the rules and regulations governing this forum. They do spell out quite clearly what is and is not acceptable.
Other than that, sit back, relax, and have fun.

What? That link talks nothing about multiplayer. Also, as stated, it is impossible.
Hey, welcome to the forums.
I'm not going to tell you to follow the rules like the others say [but you most definitely should]; instead, I'll just say stuff about the actual forums:These are by far the most welcoming, friendly forums I've ever used. The people here are happy to answer your questions [as long as it's not been asked countless times already]. This is the longest I've ever stayed on any forums, period. There are interesting topics, and help if you need it for MW and the CS.
One thing - if you do ask something that has been asked before, and you get somewhat of a harsh reply from one of the moderators, don't worry, just make sure you don't do it again.
Welcome.!

| -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm not sure, we haven't been able to have other players connect and actually enter the game yet. There are many kinks we still need to work through in the assigning of player IDs. Basically, when each player connects via TCP/IP, the wrapper needs to assign a newly created player ID to their address, otherwise they will just be connected to the other person without actually being recognizable within the scripts of the Master file. Once we have a working beta going where we can connect and actually play, I suppose we'll be able to examine the strain in the sending of the needed data packets and work out a reasonable limit. I don't think they were planning on having more than 4, though, as so far the largest game type suggested has been 4 player team games (2 on 2) |
This if from my link, SEE?!!?!?!?! It does talk about multiplayer. They seem pretty confident, it is possible, anything is. A programmer can do anything. Morrowind is a program not a indestructible enity protected by a sacred anti-multiplayer force.
HA HA HA HA HA admit it it is possible, admit the possiblitie, wow i can't spell,... looks bad for the newbie.
Those people are idiots, it's that simple. Either they have no idea what they're talking about, or they're lying to get attention. For the (apparently) 10 billionth time, MULTIPLAYER MORROWIND IS NOT POSSIBLE. To add multiplayer ability to Morrowind would require completely rewriting the game engine. Which is completely illegal, even if it is somehow possible.
Yes, programmers can do almost anything. But not when they don't have access to the source code, and they have a threat of lawsuit if they modify the wrong things.
Multiplayer Morrowind is never going to happen, and anyone who claims otherwise is a liar or an idiot (if not both). End of discussion.

If I might -
The will be no multiplayer for TES III - but that could be something they add for TES IV - some several years in the future.
Much of what you see on various forums has to be taken with a grain of salt if it sounds too good to be true.
Just as the Tolkien estate keeps an eye out on what attaches the name "Middle Earth" to itself, so do the game companies keep an eye on their products as well. If someone were to crack the game and change the base code, that would be a serious copywrite infringement and I wouldn't want to be the one who boasted about doing it on the forums just to get others to think more of them.
What the site is about is not seeing how we can do illegal things to get what we want - it's for how far we can push the existing product within the rules set by the TESCS to create scenarios for an existing game, or taking the game engine and producing new lands and features as allowed by law. That is one reason why any discussion of illegal activity (downloading/distributing non-freeware, stealing intellectual assets, etc) is quickly squelched on this board.
That said, welcome to the forums, where honest debate is always accepted, and spamming is always dealt with harshly.

Nothing is impossible... Morrowind could be multiplayer... Bethesda would just have to change a few things, recode some stuff... etc... but it COULD be multiplayer, but i doubt it ever will be
they have stated it wont be...
It's not illegal if bethesda did multiplayer and not impossible. I know they said they wouldn't do it for a very good reason of witch I've never heard but am always reminded of 
I understand not wanting to make it massive multiplayer, but at least some two or three player coop would be nice.

Yes it would be, but it's not going to happen. So could we steer this away from that subject before it becomes a "omg i agree it shud be multiplayer lol" spamfest?
Sorry to stir up a bunch of crap. I've made sure to do searches before spouting stuff out.... but I do appreciate the warm welcome. The reason I askd is because I just got through playing a months free trial of Dark Age Of Camelot and can't afford to play a monthly game fee ( yes I'm a broke @$$ sucka) and was looking for a fix but morrowind has so much stuff to do it doesn't even need to be online at least for this chapter of the game.
Welcome to the bridge, liutenet chump! do as Captain Perigrine and his co-captain mods say, and also Admiral Dark0ne. And allways stay in uniform. dont eat the spam, nor speak it. Those fishy stix are made from people.
Shh! Don't give away the secret ingridient! I mean....*clears throat* Welcome to the forums! I would give you a fishy stcik,but you have enough,I need to save some for others. Besides,my head hurts.
I always thought there was somthing "fishy" about them 
Ok I'm done
Ok I'm done
I forgot I was the one who said that, to tell you the truth...
