Goodbye, See Ya Around
This has been an interesting assignment for me. I was tasked with creating a blog and posting weekly content on a subject I enjoy. I had fun sharing information with everyone and helping sum up long amounts of repetitive information. I enjoyed writing this blog very much and it helped my love for Elder Scrolls Online grow even stronger. This game, personally, has the highest potential of any MMO I have ever scene. There is so much that can be done with this game and its world. I can’t wait to see what the future has to hold. In the meantime enjoy Elsweyr and the culture of the Khajiit. I…

Necro Lore
ESO posted a small article about the history of Necromancy throughout Tamriel. They also explain how necromancy works. Necromancers have the power to manipulate the animus, or the soul, of a living or previously living thing. “The Mages Guild identifies necromancy as its own distinct school of magic, but some Necromancers say it’s just an offshoot of mysticism, conjuration, and enchantment—no more dangerous than fireballs and scrying spells.”-ESO. While in the academic standing of magic as a norm, Necromancy stands out as it manipulates the soul directly. Majority of cultures see this manipulation of the soul as a crime against nature and as inherently evil. The power to manipulate or modify…

The Community
ESO is a MMO, and as such, has a massive community of players. There are many sub communities in ESO, and those communities are known as guilds. Most other MMO’s have some form of clan or guild systems, ESO follows that trend but make it a little more personalized. ESO recently posted a community spotlight article talking to some well known guilds that hold a strong position for helping new players in the ESO community. “Casual Ranger of the Ranger’s Guild” and “MissBizz of the Lone Wolf Help Guild” help new players get up to speed in ESO. They where asked several questions about their guilds and the impact it…

Pushing The Khajiit Hard!
ESO has been pushing their new Elsweyr chapter expansion hard in both the physical sense and the promotional sense. 95 percent of their posts have been revolving around the expansion for the past three months. This is fair as their main source of income is from cosmetic purchases and in game expansion costs, the base game is free to play with a one time only payment of buying the game. And the hype train is reaching maximum velocity. ESO recently posted an article talking about the Khajiit in Elsweyr and what you can expect from the natives of Elsweyr. I posted a bit of Khajiit lore awhile back that covered…

So… Joker… Yeah…
Im going to be busy this weekend so I wont have time to post and new ESO info hasn’t been release since the last post, so its time for a out of subject post. This post is breaking the ESO theme, I know that and am choosing to break the blog theme lock. Lets talk about Joker being released in Super Smash Brothers. The other 3.0 version stuff being added is awesome and I’m glad they did add a video editing format and a stage builder. Joker on the other hand, scares me. Nintendo has a notorious habit of releasing new smash characters that are insanely over powered in past…

Elsweyr PTS is Live!
Yo it’s live! The PTS, Public Test Server, is now up and running with the new Elsweyr expansion! The public test server also is running Update 22 game update and patch. Only PC/MAC players can access the PTS. “If you’ve tested the game previously, either for the Morrowind or Summerset Chapter, you can get into this new test from the ESO launcher with no invite required. Just enable “Show Public Test Environment” from your launcher settings. If you haven’t tested a Chapter for us before, but have played ESO this last year, you’ll receive (or have already received!) an email invite with the details. Because this is such a large test, invites will be sent out…

Not Much This Week
Well, not much has been announced this week do to the currently running Anniversary event. In absence of new coverage, I’d like to talk a bit about my competitive history in ESO. I’m gonna say this upfront. I’M NOT GOOD AT COMPETITIVE ESO! But that doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy it. ESO has some of the best competitive modes I’ve seen in a MMO RPG. Its PvP is some of the most fun I’ve had with my friends over the past five years. Here’s a video showing some old footage I’d captured of the PvP in Cyrodiil. Fair warning before you watch the video. This footage was captured back when…

Goodies Galore! Happy Anniversary ESO!
Three major things have happened since the last post, April Fools, new crates, and a new event coming! First off, on the day I last posted, we got a good Aprils Fools post from the ESO team on the main site. They advertised wearable outfits for your cat IRL, only for 100 gold! Sadly “1oo gold” translates to $100,000 USD. So they got a lot of people good with that post. If I was a huge cat person I would love this legitimately. But cats don’t usually like things hanging off of them, so attempt to recreate these at your own risk. https://www.elderscrollsonline.com/en-us/news/post/55993 Next up we have new Crown Crate goodies.…

They Are Here…
I’m back from break, and there was a lot I missed during my time away. First thing to cover is the 25th anniversary of the Elder Scrolls series. The series has been going strong since 1994, in an age where game companies are constantly being bought out or going under, this is a huge achievement. Congrats to Elder Scrolls and the Elder Scrolls teams, keep up the awesome work. Ok, second on the chopping block is the beginning of the second part of the Season of the Dragon. It’s time to unleash the dragons. I only just recently played the Elsweyr free prologue, I still have many other profiles to…
