Heart's Day Celebration

ZOS_JessicaFolsom

Tamriel is for lovers, some say. This especially true on Heart’s Day.

Heart’s Day, also known as Lovers’ Day, is a celebration of love that is observed all across Tamriel on the 16th of Sun's Dawn (February 16.) Whether your love is platonic, familial, or romantic, love can be found just about everywhere in ESO.

Have you found love or strengthened your bond with someone special while spending time together in ESO? Share the love - send us your stories, videos, art, or screenshots to celebrate Heart's Day. Tweet us at TESOnline using hashtag #LoveInESO, reply to this thread, or email us at community@elderscrollsonline.com We'll share our favorite mementos of love in ESO during the week leading up to Heart's Day.

So, like, are we talking "Mara" love, "Dibella" love, or full-on "Sanguine"?

Xantaria

How about Bugfixes instead. I would LOVE those.

Guys, it's a coded message. The patch notes are actually in the announcement here if you look very closely.

"Molag Bal" and "Mehrune's Dagon" love not eligible. You could try for "Uncle Sheo" love if you can find some cheese and arrange it just right...

It was love at first site, we were fighting side by side at Chalman Keep... But then I got kicked for having no internet connection (even though I did have one). When I returned he had gone off with a horny argonian. Heartbroken.

I used to know a woman so beautiful and articulate. She would give me bountiful harvest each day, supplying me with happiness hour after hour until it was time to rest. When she was around, this game was the best it has ever been. She protected me, she empowered me, and she made everything worth the effort. And then one day she left, and nothing has ever been the same.

You might recall her name, LADY OF NO AOE CAPS.

COME BACK BABY I MISS YOU

Considering the game is based almost entirely on constant combat and utter destruction I have a feeling that Jessica is seriously trolling all of us.

My wife and I have been playing eso since one of the early beta tests. We enjoyed it so much together that when we decided to name our baby Tamriel. Tamriel is now 1 year old as of january 15th. If that's not love I'm not sure what is!

Naw, there was someone who met a possibly future spouse through ESO (won't say who or where I saw this as not to spoil any, um, surprises). Plus on the platonic side lots of people have made good friends.

Is it an in game event or just a forum talk?

Anhedonie

Pardon me, a heartless ***, but can I have patch notes instead please?

Eiagra

@ChuckyPayne - I think it's just forum talk, themed around the calendar lore holy day.

I've always wondered, is chocolate something within Tamriel canon? Or some reasonable facsimile? Because... chocolate.

Ilsabet

Darien Gautier called me "my love" once, does that count?

It's more of a community/social media effort - we love hearing stories about people who met in ESO and became a couple outside of the game, or couples who play ESO together, or even family members who bond over ESO. There are so many great stories. It doesn't end with stories, though. It could be a piece of fan art, a song, a video...be creative! If we get some good entries, we'll highlight them in a blog on 2/16. We are looking into the possibility of doing something fun on the PTS, but we're still digging into the logistics. We are working on in-game holiday events, they won't be in the game until late this year at the earliest.

I'd love to participate, but I'm a lonely recluse

I was doing quests in Bruma for CPs, then I saw a beautiful EP Dunmer women. we both shield blocked and spent 30min doing emotes. She messaged me and said "follow me". So I followed her into a house, and when i loaded in to the house there were about 10 EP nightblades waiting for me and then spambushed me until i died. They then Proceeded to tbag my corpse, including her. Im had realized she had used me......for alliance points. (see spoiler plz)

This didn't actually happen

Lord_Wrath

What a bland empty nothing event.

MissBizz

My boyfriend asked me to play ESO, so we could do something together.

We purchased the Imperial Edition (both of us) and we married our very first characters!

Unfortunately, he no longer plays ESO.

But we're getting real life married next year now

Asherons_Call

Oh good it's just screenshot submissions. At first I was thinking they were adding a limited time Cupid costume or a pink horse

sounds like myself and my fiancé I try to get her to play on her elf game as she calls it (because she picked AD and mostly sees high elves and bosmer so to her its the elf game.) We married in ESO and she plays now and again still trying to rekindle the flames of eso in her eyes. We will marry this year and maybe then she can be more focused on the game (wedding planning is time consuming @MissBizz be ready for the stress of it haha)

SantieClaws

At 58 seconds into this video of a guild event (that was filmed just over a year ago) you can see two of our guildies getting married. We all turned up to the temple to cheer them on etc. The rest of the video is just us dancing mostly.

Congratulations, @MissBizz!

Glad to hear in-game events are being worked on!

The problem is that you could have vendors sell a Ring of Mara or just give them to players in honor of the festival and instead I'm just guessing that you are doing absolutely nothing other than posting the stories that will be sent to you. Why not reward players for taking part in this festival in-game? You do realize that almost all MMOs have in-game events, right?

Would it really be that hard to mail every acccount a Pledge of Mara? Besides, it's already been 2 years and you have done nothing to support the community in-game. This might be an easy and fun way to start.
