Oh fuck please yes. repurposing old MMOs as open world survival games w/ crafting is a great idea and comes at a fraction of the cost. it's a very ingenious way of breathing life into them. maybe we will see more of that? building content, raids and quests doesn't scale.
Looks like ARK
It is coming with server client so you'll be able to solo skyrim( or lan/friend only it ) yourself. Also they said they changed their minds on the 30 day wipe. Only for some pvp ruleset now so you get months or so between wipes. Appears it will be more like ARK in that regard than say Rust.I love the Conan world, but dislike these type of multiplayer online game (character progression can be easily reset by restarting server)
