Skyrim Together - Multiplayer Mod for Skyrim

[Tarmo]

I am not the developer or any kind of participant in this project - but it seems pretty great! We've all seen some multiplayer projects for Skyrim before and they all died eventually, but I have my hopes up for this one, since these guys have actually managed to get things working and provided us with some proper in-game video:

This project deserves all the credit there is and I truly hope they release some of sort of testable alpha or beta version soon. If you wish to read more about the project, check their Reddit page and Discord hub for more info:

there a co-op mod in the past, forgot it's name but Bethesda shut it down because they wanted more ppl to go to ES online or something like that, this may be shut down by them as well :/

This has come up in the Reddit and Discord discussions but these developers are claiming that they have asked for permission from Bethesda at they didn't have anything against the mod.

I seriously can't understand why Bethesda would shut down any mod projects. It's ridiculous. Besides this is not a replacement for ES Online, it's not an MMO, it's a coop project.

That's a nice idea! I wish I knew how to install/work with mods now :)

Tamriel Online's still a thing, has been at the "working" stage for ages, and was last updated just a few days ago.

That's not exactly what happened, though it's a common misconception. The main author also happened to start work on a server emulator for ESO, that got shut down, and he got slapped with however many legal restrictions by ZeniMax's legal team. He disappeared off the net for a while as a result.

The actual mod remained available, but it was simply the case that there was no one left working on it.

This is a lie.

I am the former Project Manager of Skyrim: Together. Everything you see in Skyrim Together is a direct product of my work. The creator of Skyrim Online did not get slapped with any legal anything; He got hired by Bethesda. Thats why he left Skyrim Online. He is now the lead developer of Skyrim: Together.


To make a long story short, You should be using tamriel online. Yamashi is a crooked man and basically took advantage of me and my attempts at making something that I could put on my university application. He lied and said Siegfre stole his code to make Tamriel online, Lied and told everybody I wasn't doing anything on the project (I still have screenshots of me attempting to lend a hand, and him refusing to let me anywhere near the github.) Then stole my project from me, and then quit his job at Bethesda, and ruined the entire project by removing the community server features. I have no doubt he is planning on selling it to Bethesda, when we originally were in an agreement to GIVE it to Bethesda, as it was, and put it on steam greenlight to be similar to the Just Cause Multiplayer Mod.


I worked for almost a year straight managing that project and Yamashi lied his way into it and convinced everybody I was a horrible leader and was doing nothing. Then convinced them to kick me out so he could take credit for the work he wasn't even there for the majority of.

Half the team left and I'd be surprised if they finished it. Tamriel Online was written twice in the amount of time it has taken them to finish NPC Sync. (No offense to Evayr. He was the only mature one there.)

Use Tamriel Online, not only is it better, but the community is better too. You can't get anything from Skyrim: Together that Tamriel online doesn't have, except less progress.


Also I know this thread is old. Just wanted to throw this in here for the public to see.

You're kinda quoting a whole lot of my text there; I assume you just mean this bit?:

"... he (Yamashi) got slapped with however many legal restrictions by ZeniMax's legal team."

I suppose getting hired by them would explain how that happened.

I see my original link has gone dead; to preserve a bit of context, here're the relevant bits pulled back from the Google cache[webcache.googleusercontent.com] (it's a discussion as to why Skyrim Online wasn't seeing any updates, noting that Bethesda didn't shut it down):

Jargon původně napsal:

Hey guys! With what's been happening lately (or rather, what hasn't been happening) I thought I'd give you all a status update on the mod and related projects.

A few months back, Yamashi went off to work on a TESO emulator for the closed beta, which garnered some attention - in short, Zenimax caught wind of the project and shut it down permanently. The TESO emulator isn't coming back any time soon and can be considered buried for now.

Now, in conjunction with the shutdown of the TESO emulator, I've been unable to contact Yamashi or anyone else working higher up on Skyrim Online for about two months now. I've been hoping that they would show up, but seeing as it's been a while now I thought it would be appropriate to share what I know with you.

Skyrim Online is currently in a development freeze due to Yamashi being off the radar, and we have no other developers. This means that for now, the mod is not being actively developed and new features won't show up for a while. I'm as saddened as you guys are - until I can get an update from Yamashi or Tytanis about what's going to happen, I know as much as you do.

This doesn't mean that the forums are going away, nor any of the services associated with the mod (chatting, server list, etc) - I'll still be here to help out with any issues you have. However, new features won't be coded until Yamashi returns. As for what he's up to, I'd rather not speculate. It's his private life and I don't want to be poking around in it.

For now, though, the mod can be contributed to if you're proficient in C# - the repo is available here ( https://github.com/yamashi/SkyrimOnline ) and you can freely fork it.

If you've got any questions, post them here and I'll try to answer them to the best of my abilities.

Yamashi původně napsal:

You guys probably understand the TESO shutdown was caused by something, so yeah I have been really busy dealing with all of this.

Regarding Skyrim Online, I might not be authorized to work on game projects anymore but I don't know if mods are part of this, if so I will try to find someone to take on after me, if not I might be able to access some data that will allow me to pick up the dev and get somewhere a lot faster.

In any case, I believe it's true that Bethesda never C&D'd Skyrim Online.

It feels like a regular Ol' MMO with a modernized Oblivion skin.


Combat world, design, quest design, and story just feel like that of any other MMO. Doesn't resemble bethesda's game design.

It's not a terrible game, but like I said it's no online equivalent of Skyrim.
