Remember those few posts from about 3 weeks ago, about the email that a few people got from ZoS asking for address info for a gift? Well, mine came in today! As promised, here are some pics!

c762bc9939.JPG
Everything came neatly packed in a cardboard tube, with the signature dragon/lion/eagle ouroboros.

603302e8f2.JPG
Popped it open, and inside I found a pin, a coin, a poster, and a sealed letter!

c2a5422ab7.JPG
The tail side of the coin is Vivec's hand symbol, and reads "ALL CITIES ARE BORN OF SOLID LIGHT"

ee43280340.JPG
The head side is a bust of Vivec himself, and reads "I AM GOLDEN WISDOM AND POWERS ALIKE"

IMG_2182.JPG?raw=1
Also got a neat pin of an unfolded Elder Scroll, very cool!

IMG_2187.JPG?raw=1
Then, we got a Morrowind poster! Sorry for the folded edges and low quality, it's pretty big. I had to use my 3DS to hold down the other edge while I took the picture!

IMG_2183.JPG?raw=1
Last but not least, there's a letter signed by what seems to be the entire dev team, reading..
"Happy New Life Holidays from Zenimax Online Studios!

It's been a great year building out all-new areas of Tamriel in the world of The Elder Scrolls Online, but it's you, the players, who really bring that world to life. We're delighted to have this opportunity to thank you for everything you do to make that world a living, breathing land of adventure. Wave your banners high - we'll see you in Tamriel!
"



This was an absolutely awesome gift, and a wonderful surprise! Thank you so much, Zenimax! Happy holidays to the staff team, and all the players in the community!

    Very neat...not to be a downer...but why you and not me? Was it random? Was it part of a contest? Are you a secret shopper? The world wants to know...

    p.s. And by, why you and not me, I'm not actually referring to ME. B)

    I'm not 100% sure, and don't quote me on this, but the other people I met that received the email were all long-time veteran players. That's just a guess, though.

    There was a lot of crying and screaming. As a long-time forum user, I really can't think of a more topically relevant gift.

    Hey good catch on that...I didn't notice the numbered print until you said it...but having noticed I gotta say I am somewhat disappointed with what I see...its not a nice signed and numbered print...its something with a /200 on it that an intern then had to manually stamp 200 times. Come on ZoS, did you spend all your budget on the coins and pin? Couldn't have got the artist to sign and number them? Man, I dont know what to think and its no even mine, lol...I guess its the spirit that counts...and hey, they gotta save money now that PS4 has a crown sale. Merry Christmas lol.

    Actually yes, I have played Legends, but not a whole lot of it. I never thought about that being the criteria, but seeing as how there were probably only 200 winners, I imagine there was more to it than just that.
