ZOS, please release ESO's "Creation Kit"

Perhaps they could do it as a monthly competition, 1 submission per person and then the winner's design could be reviewed by the designers to make sure it's optimised for the game.

Sorry dude, I don't think that'll ever happen. Especially not with a game of this size and code that could break things in half.

It would of course be tested, I'm sure. But this would be much easier for single player games than MMO's. I think there's only one other MMO I've heard of that let players create content (? Maybe one?)

It's a lovely idea, but I don't forsee this ever happening, especially also with the business model relying on us buying the content they release.

The up and coming CU does this which is probably the game most of us will be turning to in a heart beat when it is released. The game is designed for it. ESO? Not so much I am sure.

Haven't heard anything good about CU or any crowd sourced game. There is a reason they're crowd sourced rather than being able to get solid financing and it's not creativity.

Games that that go for played created content are often not too games to begin with.

Sorry but have to disagree with you there some big names in gaming have used crowd sourcing such as Elite Dangerous from Frontier Games, it's a great option other than certain types of financing that restrict the creators from delivering their game as they wish and rather as the financier or investors demand.

Crowd sourcing can often lead to better games as the creation and not the profit are the main reason for pushing forward, that's not to say that there hasn't been many failures from crowd sourced games.

This would be great, but I know I would try to use it to improve on things already in the game rather than adding new stuff...

• Adding Inspiration, Reputation, and World Skills to Loot History
• Public Delves in Craglorn
• Active Flag Capture in Keeps
• Improving District Control
• Fixing the damn map
• Community Service
• Starting on the Starter Islands
• Expanding the rest of the Delves
• Adjusting Quest Hub Map Icons
• Adjusting Dungeon/Instance Map Icons
• Moving a Wayshrine
• Warfront Missions for Keep Defense
• Campaign Names in the Friends and Guild lists

All of those would conceptually be doable with access to a Creation Kit.

I made a new character on the pts. Woke up in the upper room on Bleakrock. Rana was perusing the bookshelf on the second floor, 20 feet away from where my character "woke up". Even the most 'click through everything to get out' player couldn't possibly miss her and the large arrow over her head. Could be they moved the start back to where it should have stayed, the starting islands.....

I'm intrigued... it's probably a bug or something, but I'll definitely be trying that out at some point soon!
