ESO on sale 75% off

olemanwinter · July 2015

Considering players' opinions of this game tend to start out very high and decrease over time, getting a bunch of new players in the game with a sale right before they offer new DLC for sale is a....very good idea.

I bet the % of people who buy this game from a sale now and also buy the new DLC next month will be higher than the % of people who already have the game and buy the new DLC.

Like Walmart selling Tide detergent....once they have bought it from Tide they can sell it at any price they want.

That is typically how it works, although in some cases they do partner with developers/publishers and agree to share the discount's debit.

The answer is NO.

Apparently yes, if you take the DLC into account. Already seen a couple threads by console players upset that, even with family share, DLC needs to be bought per person.

Is this sale only for PC? I want my friends to buy for xbox.

Yeah, they apparently have a certain number of codes they they bought from Zenimax. I bought my copy from the one day sale GMG had last week and I noticed that by the evening that the standard edition was already "sold out". (I was looking to buy Imperial edition so I think I would have been fine.)

Usually don't see digital retailers sell out of anything, but apparently ESO was so popular that they blew through their allotment of codes before the end of the sale.

Organizers and streamers should grab these as prizes for fans/their friends.

Very incorrect. The answer is yes.

The difference between zero and even 1 dollar is huge. 1 dollar requires a credit card , zero lets you make as many throwaway accounts to spam and troll on.

Having a cost up front means a world of difference in player community but especially chat.

I was enjoying Skyforge during the pre open beta launch when it was mostly people who had bought a founders pack

Once F2P started for anyone the community went to pure hell , and I don't want to ever login again.

Hopefully F2P will never ever be an option here.

Dahkoht · July 2015

Just to repeat , for those who missed it earlier , use ENCORE-ENCORE-ENCORE and it's only 12 dollars with that coupon code.

Acrolas · July 2015

Or $21.76 for the Imperial Edition, which is pretty much what you'd pay in game for that upgrade.

$12 actually, and yes, there is. Even general forums that have a $1 or $5 fee usually keep out the vast, vast majority of the trolls and spammers.

FYI for anyone unaware, you can use the following voucher/coupon code to get 20% off making it a $12.00 even purchase !

ENCORE-ENCORE-ENCORE

Bumping the thread so that people who may not have seen it yet know the deal's on!

Celestrael · July 2015

And here I spent $100 for the Ultimate Edition on the PSN Store.

sylviermoone · July 2015

Hubby and I were going to buy a second account to share....now we each get our own second account!!! Love it!!

Dahkoht · July 2015

Anyone ever bought multiple keys from GMG on same account there ? Bought one key and considering grabbing a few more for son , friends , maybe mule/2nd account for me etc.

Just wondered if no issues getting multiple keys on same GMG account (using them later of course on different new ESO accounts for folks)

Draghorn · July 2015

There's no problem getting multiple keys from them. I bought 2 copies (one for me and one for my brother) from the sale last week. Look in the "Games" section of your GMG account and your ESO keys will be listed in the unmarked section in there. (There will just be a triangle all by it's self that you need to click on the expand that section and see your keys.) I guess it is unmarked because the key is for an independent service and not one of the major digital distributors.

Many thanks , just didn't want to fool with making multiple accounts on there if was some rule against multiple keys for same game.

Likely will stock up on a few of these for folks in the future.

Lylith · July 2015

just what i needed, a second account.

I prefer to think of this exception as a public service announcement.

On Amazon day, 7/15/15, the Xbone/PS4 version was selling for $34.99.

nine9six · July 2015

I've already bought all of my accounts...but was going to snag another for a friend...I'm having to make a new account. If I'm logged into my account there's no "Buy Now" button.

So I logged-out, went to the page, added it to my cart, began check-out...which had me log-in...and at the end of the process it failed and told me to remove any invalid items from my cart.

I'm making a new account on GMG to get around this.

11 accounts and counting.

ghostwise · July 2015

ESO is also on sale on the Playstation Store for $39.99. Not quite 75% but a darn good deal.

And from there - It can only go one way.

That's not how things always work with "authorized retailers". Apple, for example, puts stringent restrictions on the pricing of their products. You can't just sell a Sony PS4 for whatever you want, either, although stores like Walmart will try to sneak around this with discounts on bundled products.
