Eh? It's only about 25 years since the millennium.
Millennials, depending on your definition, start around 1980-81 (the term was first coined for people who would come of age around the millennium).
Re: Update on ESO Plus Benefits & Seasons
Mathius_Mordred wrote: »Hi everyone! We want to share a quick update on ESO Plus benefits in relation to Seasons and the seasonal currencies. We have a path forward to make sure everyone who has an active ESO Plus subscription starting at the beginning of 2026 will get the seasonal currencies. This includes those who purchased multi-month subscriptions before January 2026 that covered January, February, and/or March 2026.
New ESO Plus memberships from March 9, 2026 onwards will receive their seasonal currencies alongside the purchase (delivered similar to how Crowns arrive now), while players with active memberships between January 1, 2026 and March 9, 2026 will have their currencies retroactively awarded on March 30, 2026. In both cases, the currencies are being delivered before the Season Zero launch on April 2. Please note that seasonal currencies will not be spendable until the Season Zero launch.
To be clear, we are still going to be receiving crowns with our subscription?
Yes, you are still getting crowns.
Re: Guild Spamming Issue

This is what happens every single time, where they lie low for a while and come out again when they feel the heat's off, so that doesn't really mean much, unfortunately.
I don't have zone chat turned on, so I can't comment as to zone chat spam from this guild group.
Absolutely, I'm certain the guild leader told them to chill for a bit, and that is why we need an official stance / change in the invite API to make sure it doesnt keep coming back over and over again.

As expected. @ZOS_Kevin they stopped for a week or so to get things to calm down based on the prior thread, but here we are again, back to the Spam this weekend.
Is there any update on an official stance on this? Remove the invite API? Say that this is against ToS so we can have action taken?
The other issue is they often do this on $5 accounts in Auridon and the such.
Following up here to note that I am talking to customer service to resolve this. Had some conversations last week to come up with a general plan and continuing those this week. In the meantime, please continue to report and post ticket numbers. That way, there is a paper trail to refer to.

Ridiculous, they must have just gotten a small slap on the wrists about it or something.

@ZOS_Kevin ,
This is not going to be resolved just by getting Customer Service to action these accounts. We need a clear statement from you that this is AGAINST terms of service, or the API needs to be removed. A clear warning needs to be given to the guild leader to cease using this bot and add-on immediately or the guild should be actioned for harassment in the same way that you actioned the accounts duplicating Savage Blade. All that is going to happen is more accounts are going to get made and replace this one if we don't get a rule and an infraction against the rule. There is literally only ONE GUILD in the ENTIRE GAME doing this.
We need a stance statement not more "i'm looking in to this" language. The guild leader has explicitly said that ZoS has told them this is not against Terms of Service, is that true or not?
Re: Why the Millennial Writing?
Epic is a very real and apt word that is well-defined in a dictionary and people need some real problems to write about.
Did you know that you could cringe thirty years ago?

All due respect, how is customer support going to solve the underlying issue here? If you just keep banning the bots without dealing with the source then you're just chasing your own tail. The guild leader as gone on record here saying he does not care about it and will most likely keep doing it.
Before you create new console addons - Please read
Hello fellow developers for console addons,
please take your time to read this to make console addon development a fair-play. Thank you!
What you should not do:
1. Spy, copy addon code (even if modified) or ideas (intelectual property) from PC addons without providing proper credit clearly visible at your console addon description at the Bethesda website
2. Develop the same exisitng PC addon for consoles without asking the author of the PC addon first if that is okay or he/she plans to do that themselves. Especially do not use the same or similar names and release that under your name then! Be fair and communicate in advance. You find us all at https://www.esoui.com and https://app.gitter.im/#/room/#esoui_esoui:gitter.im
3. Release any of our PC addons or libraries on console with the same name, just so you can test them.
If you want to do that talk to us first (see point 2).
If you cannot reach out, make sure that released libs/addons do ONLY load for yourself by adding something like
Make sure to remove the upload later again once your tests were done. If you find a way to make them compatible with consoles talk to the original dev so he/she can release it, and provide proper credit to you (or you release it with his/her permissions).
Thank you for following that, be fair, repsect intelectual property and if we say no, this means no! Do not (try to) circumvent it!
AddOns and libraries of consoles are monitored and reported to bethesda if we find any stolen intelectual property without further descripiton, where you detail that it was taken elsewher and you got the ok.
If you do not communicate in advance, do not complain in the end.
This will also harm the community, especially for the users who just want to use the addons and do not understand why we have to remove them again...
If we find any renamed code or files of our own addons, where we did not provide an okay to upload them (and if we do that we got technical and other reasons you should respect; we do not do that cuz we are lazy or want to harm or brake the console addons... We got experience since 2014 and know what we do, while you just started to get into the topic
) these will be removed by Bethesda either way.
Thank you for your understanding, communication always wins, so use it.
