To be perfectly clear, major gameplay features - such as combat - are unavailable in the present build (creatures or NPCs attacked by one player will not show up for the other Siegfre intends to address this). So the crowdsourced testing, while it doesn't warranty a clean experience right now, has helped nudge the mod along toward better things.

Other volunteers have been able to confirm that Tamriel Online works with more than two cooperative players. In fact, he's already solved crashes on death, and in-between loads after users pointed them out. He's looking for others to help test it out before pushing the mod into a general release.

It's called "Tamriel Online" and, full upfront warning, its maker says he hasn't tested the thing beyond fooling around with a friend. Yet for those who wish the same thing was possible within The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim, there's this, a mod for the PC edition of the 2011 game. It's called Tamriel Unlimited, which launched a couple of weeks ago (at last) on consoles.
