"Our buddies from VE3D have discovered that ZeniMax Media, the owner of Bethesda Softworks, has purchased the ELDERSCROLLSONLINE.COM domain name.

When you take into account that
ZeniMax received a $300 million investment to, among other things, "finance massively multiplayer online games" and that, as VE3D pointed out, ZeniMax opened up a online game division headed up by Mythic co-founder Matt Firor, then you definitely have enough pieces of the puzzle to believe that an Elder Scrolls MMO is in development.

Interesting - something many have hoped for - and if the quality of their single player games is anything to go by, a very promising mmo this could be.

Or they could be just buying it up in case they decide to one day create an online game.....

Not enough evidence yet to start hoping....
