As we're spending a lot of time in said loading screens, why not make them productive and add a little game? At the same time we could have high scores for them!

    I vote letting us play Daggerfall. You could probably beat it before getting through the entire Wrothgar questlines.

    How about a pile of different arcade games like this? e.g. I don't have internet a lot, so I often play the dinosaur game in Chrome and would love to do that in ESO.

    Or the lil' dinosaur run game from Google Chrome, but replace it with Khajiit and call it "Skooma Smuggler Run".

    Great idea, OP, but I don't see why we shouldn't just be able to use the in-game menus while loading into new zones. I'm talking access to our inventory, skills, champion trees, all of it.

    This is a pretty simple concept. ZOS should add some links to the loading screens so that players can view the latest news, announcements, art & media, patch notes, development posts, community posts, and their lore library (once they earn it, and after they have selected a character) while the loading screen churns away.

    The menu shouldn't be intrusive so players can enjoy the art on the loading screens.

    Selecting the menu should bring up the same information that can be found here:
    http://www.elderscrollsonline.com/en-us/news/category/announcements
    ZZQKebv.jpg?1

    The Lore Library, once earned, should allow players to read the various lore looks they have found

    Once loading has completed (including the loading of textures of other characters - doing away with silhouette-men), the Uroburos will stop spinning and change to an enter command and players are given the option to enter the game at their leisure.
    jIyqEe7.jpg?1

    Player's characters shouldn't enter the game until they initiate entrance. This would help with the issue of loading into death.

    Anyway. That's about it. Give players something to do other than watch the spinning logo, twiddle their thumbs, or decide to play something else.

    If you like the above idea, please support it in the original thread here: http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/220449/informative-loading-screens-concept/p1

    A mobile TES card game is coming. Maybe integrate that into the TESO loading screens.

    Oh...:(

    And I bet the licencing fees to allow ESO to have loading-screen games would be extremely exorbitant...

    Please vote in the console text chat thread so ZoS can see how many people want text chat

    ...and dueling in the dueling thread but personally I want text chat first...

    I should have voted yes but I was busy thinking what if instead there were therapists on hand in chats to console us after losing all our money repairing our gear after failed hours in the maelstrom arena and 30 plus vet 16 dungeon runs with zero helm drops.

    oh wait.
