Since then, MMO games have become quite the rage, with many becoming some of the most commercially successful in history. Many also tend to include role-playing elements, as the vast open world is the largest appeal.

These worlds tend to be very expansive to accommodate the sheer amount of players that require content to enjoy.

However, it does feature the most locations seen in an Elder Scrolls game, even taking players to previously unseen regions such as Elsweyr, the Summerset Isles, and most recently, the Systres Archipelago.
