I would love to see a new version of the best Easter Egg in Morrowind :) bring back our little buddy!

"Whaddaya think? Sheesh. I'm a mudcarb... crab. Shure. A mudcrab. Thas me. Pretty sure. I LOOK like a mudcrab, right? Mush be. Thish IS me talking, right? So? I mush be... A talking mudcrab. And I sells stuff, right? So? I mush be a talking mudcrab merchant. Stands to reason, don't it?"

    Yes it would be cool to have some beast merchants in the game. Creeper needs to make comeback too.

    They don't have to have anything special to sell, although that would be cool, just an interesting place to stumble across them as we explore. Normal Vendor Functions is enough for me.

    Heck, even a Goblin Bank would be cool too, but that might be too much of an Easter Egg.....

    Just read a thread asking what loyalty reward people would like their 1 year subscription anniversary. A personal mud crab merchant pet would be awesome! I would love to summon this guy and sell/repair when I'm questing in no mans land

    One easter egg I would like to see in game is a pathologically insane guy trying to figure out how to make armor out of glass.

    We do get a Crab Pet in the game. It is a reward from one of the Dwemer Dungeons. It's a mechanical crab though.

    Why not make a couple beast merchants and drop them in random places though out the game. Have these merchants sell some special items that can only be obtained through them. Make them wander around off the beaten path as well so you can't just return to the same spot over and over.

    Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.

    I think it would be cool to sell "Mudcrab Merchant Bait" in the Crown Store. It would be a one time use 100C item. An emote would play where the player would pull out some crumbs from his pocket and sprinkle them on the ground and a Mudcrab Merchant would appear.

    I'm okay with a mubcrab merchant as long as he doesn't want my gold but fish flakes, or whatever the hell a mudcrab eats.

    What's a mudcrab going to do with my gold once he's got it anyway?
    Been here since Feb 2014 - You'd think I'd be half reasonable at this game by now...

    Awesome! Just one slight adjustment- allow us to buy bait with in game gold- Merchant mudcrabs take gold- not credit cards. :)

    Why not the crown store? I mean, if ESO weren't changing their revenue model, sure, in game gold. Since they are, there needs to be ways for ZOS to make money in the Crown store and I think this would be a really good money maker. It doesn't give players an unfair advantage but it's enough of a benefit for people to want to use it.

    We have to change our thought process from "how can this benefit the game" to "how can this benefit the game while making more money for ZOS?"

    This Mudcrab Merchant Bait was part of a larger concept for summonable beast merchants. In that concept, I suggest an in game quest that would grant players the bait.... Once.

    First one's always free. :wink:

    Good grief, what's with people wanting a lot of one-time use items...I get it, you want to throw as much money as possible at ZOS.

    It would be great to have this, but have a CD after use.

    I haven't posted it yet but I have a suggestion post for additional subscriber benefits. Part of that suggestion are items with cooldowns that perform this type of task.

    Anyone can buy bait with no cooldown but subscribers can use their mudcrab merchant whistle with a 24 hour cooldown.

    It's not about what this item or that item will do in game or in store, it's about building value in game, in store, and in subscription. Bigger picture than "Well this is what I want. "
