This was originally going to be a reply in another thread about the upcoming seasonal twist on future crown store items, but instead it morphed into its own thread.
So, many people that have played previous MMOs might have enjoyed those seasonal events that reflect our own
real ones. I'm personally glad that they existed within the previous MMOs that I have played and loved the holiday events and the way the developers would go about integrating them into game.
However, TES is so thick with lore that it's almost against the rules to include the outside world in this game. But instead of complaining back and forth about it; I'll ask a question that maybe we can discuss and offer different ways to properly implement a form of seasonal events into the game.
- Does Tamriel have their own holiday events? And if so, what do they entail and at what time(s) of year?
Saying this, ESOs setting in time where we are in a constant war time scenario with Molag Bal and the 3 Alliances fighting on into eternity. I say eternity because are we actually stuck in time? We have days and nights but there is no in game clock that I'm aware of, and probably for good reason because with a clock people would probably speculate as to what happens when it eventually reaches this time and that time and to prevent that the clock would probably be so slow that days and nights would have to reflect our real world. Days and Nights reflecting our real world might sound nice initially but it would quickly dawn on people that it's not as nice as thought it would be. I kinda went slightly off track with this paragraph and explained something about why there's no in game clock, lol. But anyway...
The paragraph above sort of brings me to a point in that we don't need an
in-game time for seasonal events, but we can pick seasonal events within Tamriel Lore that would match our real world time of year. If there are any that is.
I hope I made this clear enough to understand. I was going to remove that middle paragraph but decided to leave it in for some form of insight, even if you ignore the middle paragraph and it's probably best you do, lol. As long as we can find proper answers to the question.
Thanks for reading!
