Elder Scrolls Online Update

<p>More information is being leaked out concerning this game, some of which I am compiling from sources. There is a list of some of the different things that will be in the game, I found this list on neogaf.com, which tells a few of the things about the game.
I find it interesting how the timeline is set 1000 years in the past, but most of the cities that are currently in Skyrim and Morrowind are in the game. In my opinion, the old cities of the dwarves, the game elven cities, and some old forts should have been mapped out as the cities instead. I feel this would have followed the lore of the kingdoms more. If Zenimax Online have followed the trends of such mmorpg's like WOW and Guild Wars, there will be some sort of DLC or a secondary disk to follow up with providing more quests, a change in power of some places that have been cleared out, providing new passages in dungeons, and new challenges. What I am interested in the most with this, is how the timeline will match up to the lore we already know. In Skyrim, some of the Daedric temples would have multitudes of followers inside, and the College of Magic would still be whole and intact. Just a few points to ponder over, and some things to consider.
