Maintenance for the week of December 16:
• PC/Mac: No maintenance – December 16
• NA megaservers for patch maintenance – December 17, 4:00AM EST (9:00 UTC) - 12:00PM EST (17:00 UTC)

I am scared for the future of ESO...

because there are no children anywhere. Millions are dying in the war, and there will be no one to fill in the future generations.

Seriously though, why are there no children anywhere in the game? I find it a bit strange, especially since there were children in Skyrim. Any possibility of them being added in?

    Yeah, I noticed that. Not a kid to be found anywhere.

    I can't see any real need for kids. They would always be getting lost and no one would look for them until we came along. They would be underfoot yelling insults at us and telling us they aren't afraid of us.

    Indeed , having kids and families would be something expected of a game like this.

    and this is why developers in general are so hesitant to add minors to games.

    honestly, i wouldn't mind seeing atleast 1 young'un in the game, but pretty sure eventually some jackass is gonna start requesting killable chillins, so no, please don't add them to the game.

    It's because with all the vampires, werewolves and adventurers running around, the people rightly keep their children hidden in basements. You know when you are looting a house and you find one of those basement doors you cannot open, that is where the kids are being hidden.
    Side effects of reading messages on forums can cause nausea, head aches, spontaneous fits of rage, urination due to intense laughter, and sometimes the death of your monitor or other object in throwing range. If you find that you are reading forums more than 24 hours a day, please consult your nearest temporal physicist.

    MMO developers in general don't include children in their games because they are afraid of lawsuits due to violence and kids involved and stuff like that. It is basically that they are just afraid of the consequences of having them in their game so the leave them out.

    Name me an MMO that has children in it, I bet you can't....

    The absence of children can be blamed on the gold sellers. The cost of child labour was cheaper than the mechanisation of adult avatars (i.e. bots) and so the available pool of child labour was first tapped and exploited by these maliciously evil gold sellers. Labour loss through camping bosses, wolf (and other beasties) attacks whilst harvesting nodes and general exhaustion from being worked 24/7 has resulted in the loss of the children workforce and the replacement with bots (automated mind-controlled avatars recruited from the depths of oblivion (Coldharbour) in a labour agreement with Molag Bal).

    Moral of the story: Molag Bal is gold selling scum and this is why Tamriel must be saved...for the future generations of children yet to be born.

    I can't tell you how many times I wanted to kill that snotty little brat that kept running his mouth about riding his father's coat tails, etc... in Skyrim. Can you imagine the level of frustration in ESO if they had a few of those that players couldn't kill? LOL
