Orsinium Potentially Christmas Themed?

21jws10 · July 2015

Anyone else think this is a possibility?

Iluvrien · July 2015

Dear daedra I hope not.

Kronosphere · July 2015

Nope not in the slightest lol. i forecast a 0% chance of a xmas themed zone as this is not a free browser mmo or something lol.

I dont think they would FINALLY release a new zone only to have it limited to xmas. imagine, in a elder scrolls game a heap of orcs joking around with santa hats on? cmon lol lay of dat skooma man =P

No. Not even a remote chance. They avoid real-world holidays and the like.

Aett_Thorn · July 2015

Orcs dressed as Santa's elves? Little colored twinkling lights on the fortresses? Rideable bears with fake antlers on them?

No thanks, but it would be fun to see.

They've stated before they have no plan to implement any holidays or themes, whether real or lore.

21jws10 · July 2015

Good to hear it's not a possibility, would really break immersion.

Sausage · July 2015

It was hot topic a few month back, some said they should add real life Holidays to the game, but Zen answered multiple times no, instead of if they ever add Holidays they are going to be Tamriel's Holidays.

@Sausage that sounds a lot better.

They even said they would love to do it, but I suppose theres alot more important things to do.

urkonse · July 2015

i dont think so.
but maybe somekind event at xmash

I found a list of holidays here, some look quite interesting to implement http://www.uesp.net/tamriel/society/tamholi.shtml

I think they should do it, Holidays are great way to lure ES fans to the ESO.

illuzian · July 2015

I swear on Molag Bal if this happens, I will do nothing except being sorely disappointed. Events definitely but not significant amounts of content locked down to a specific date range.

Tessie · July 2015

I prefer content that I can play any time of the year. Many MMO's produce holiday themed content in the form of a limited time event. As content takes the same amount of resources to develop, whether it is holiday themed or not, I would prefer mine without the theme.

If it had Tamriel's New Life festival, then I would like that.

Real world holidays are a great way to make TES fans shake their heads at ruined lore. The religious side of Christmas makes absolutely no sense in Tamriel. The cultural side would be tacky and out of place.

I'll gladly participate in Old Life and New Life festivals, though. Some kind of winter solstice celebration would work too, as long as it doesn't include fat bearded men in red costumes.

It will be fun having a 12 man raid fighting with snowballs

Sengra · July 2015

While I wouldn't exactly want anything Christmas-themed, some kind of festival or event in the non-instanced PVE areas would probably make the world feel fresh and more alive for a while. Apart from quests and instanced content there isn't a lot of community stuff going on in the open world and I really like that part of MMORPGs. Festival events (at least the ones I know) usually give special skins or costumes, and that (apart from mounts) is the only thing that makes me want to grind anything (I couldn't care less about veteran ranks or CP).

xaraan · July 2015

Seriously? As in Christ in Tamriel? Did I miss that in lore? or maybe Santa-Orc.

No thank you.

Zershar_Vemod · July 2015

Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmm, what?

What we've been shown for over a year is well....Orc-themed.

Gidorick · July 2015

If it is...

bloodenragedb14_ESO · July 2015

gods no, orsinium should stand for what it is, orsimer might, powerful warriors, wise shamans, massive orc harems, ya know, the good stuff

Lenikus · July 2015

There will be no 'thematic / holyday' DLC in this game. ever.
Deal with it.

If you want your female characters with a skimpy Santa suit, just go download that mod in Skyrim.
Please.

Neirymn · July 2015

I'd like some in game events with some quests but definitly not this, it'll feels like a parody to me. xD

Selique · July 2015

Christmas Orcs!

Tamanous · July 2015

There's snow!

Obviously the game is a conversion tool for Christian ideology!

Get on it ZOS!

All those people against a holiday event during the period of Christmas without knowing there's actually an event the 25th of Star called Saturalia.

I'd have no problem with Lore based Holidays.

I don't want to see a repeat of the Ewok Festival of Love though...........

We're not against a holiday event... we're against a CHRISTMAS event. And Saturalia shouldn't be celebrated in Orsinium, it's a Wayrest holiday. That's where it should be celebrated.

I actually liked that event in SWG. I put the rewarded vendor in my Life Day furnace in my store.
