ESO GIVING million dollars to a random player... (Game awards)

    An online video game giving out real money lottery? Is this some kind of joke or ZOS just can't figure out better ways to spend their money? If they have so much money to spare, why couldn't they make more efforts to get lading screen issues fixed sooner than over two months or address numerous other problems?

    Two ridiculous news in one day, first vampire and werewolf on crown store then this, is really driving me to the edge of quitting the game.

    Games this size spend a lot of money on advertising. 1 million over 20 years is also a lot less than 1 million up front.

    Want to know how many competent and trained developers that 1m USD can afford? A few. Interesting to see where the priorities are.

    I'm guessing that they want to get people who haven't played for over a year to log on.

    game is in worse shape then a year ago.
    less balance
    more lagg even in PvE now
    and no decent Pve endgame for groups or people who came back a year ago and don't have a sub and probably won't just payup for the DLC
    Yeah, the lag is worse. But the game is in better shape than at launch. Man, load screens were often horrific at launch, and not just with high level characters.

    A very large percentage of those people don't care about endgame or balance. Heck, I've played this game a lot and I don't care about either.

    While I'm sure many would enjoy the DLC, it is likely irrelevant and a large percentage of people who bought ESO haven't even finished their home faction zones. I have a few friends IRL that played less than 1 hour. One got the edition that came with Molag Bal and she never even logged on.

    make it worldwide or dont make it at all

    It's likely due to lottery laws in various countries/provinces. Contrary to popular belief among the political left, the POTUS does NOT have the authority to dictate other countries' laws (at least not without a gigantic application of US Marines, drones and B-52s...)

    So many balls of yarn, a house made of sugar, many many Dunmers to wait on her paw and paw.

    How about those of us who want to enter but can't because ZOS won't do the bureaucratic legwork?

    It's fine for me to have signed up in the UK, spent the first 8 months playing from the UK, have an active sub tied to a UK account... but because I am currently on a 3 year work contract in Japan that means I can't enter?

    Don't spread false news and go to the inscription form. The whole existing countries are listed. If they don't show in the list for you, use another browser.


    Yes, all sorts of countries are listed, but only the top ten are eligible for entry. The others are not. Selecting my country, Sweden, gives the message "not eligible for entry".

    Norway was eligible, Sweden is not - there are SOME sensible people at ZOS after all.
