    cant a million dollars go towards fixing things?

    or is there a survey/census coming out and you need to show how many " players" you have logging in ?

    this seems weird to me.

    Mighty Eagle by serjustin19 for your viewing convenience.
    Mighty Eagle
    Mighty Eagle.
    I fell out of my nest

    Mighty Eagle
    Mighty Eagle
    I screech I screech
    but no one hears me

    Mighty Eagle
    Mighty Eagle
    I started to wonder off
    I want to come back but lost my way.

    Mighty Eagle
    Mighty Eagle
    I came face to face
    Of Mighty Lion

    Mighty Eagle
    Mighty Eagle
    I came to fall in love with Mighty Lion
    Who's claws is sharp and just

    Mighty Eagle
    Mighty Eagle
    Then suddenly
    Mighty Dragon Came

    Mighty Eagle
    Mighty Eagle
    Mighty Dragon roared aloud
    Who's mighty paws make earthquake
    that quivers underneath our feet

    Mighty Eagle
    Mighty Eagle
    Soon battle rages
    Between the Mighty Lion and Mighty Dragon

    Mighty Eagle
    Mighty Eagle
    My heart grows heavy
    For who do I belong in Scourge PS4 EU

    Mighty Eagle
    Mighty Eagle
    I continue to battle.
    But Battle I must do within myself

    Mighty Eagle
    Mighty Eagle
    I screech, I screech
    Long and hard. I made a fuss

    Mighty Eagle
    Mighty Eagle
    Then suddenly
    As if I was dreaming

    Mighty Eagle
    Mighty Eagle
    I heard a screech
    But suddenly, I attack Mighty Eagle
    Mighty Eagle had to defend

    Mighty Eagle
    Mighty Eagle
    I know I was fighting for Mighty Lion
    So I fought back.

    Mighty Eagle
    Mighty Eagle
    I attack I attack
    But to no avail

    Mighty Eagle
    Mighty Eagle
    The Mighty claws who's mighty claws
    Felt unnatural to me and very clumsy to me

    Mighty Eagle
    Mighty Eagle
    Why I have chosen to not stay with you
    I do not know. I am complicated at that.

    Mighty Eagle
    Mighty Eagle
    I have destroyed Mighty Eagle
    My own kin in Scourge PS4 EU

    Mighty Eagle
    Mighty Eagle
    I crawled into a ball
    Weep to no avail

    Mighty Eagle
    Mighty Eagle
    Lost in my whirling thoughts
    My heart and mind is clouded

    Mighty Eagle
    Mighty Eagle
    I have served Mighty Lion over a year
    I thought Mighty Lion is were I belong anew

    Mighty Eagle
    Mighty Eagle
    I finally contacted
    Mighty Eagle

    Mighty Eagle
    Mighty Eagle
    Mighty Eagle says they love me
    In reality I love them also.

    Mighty Eagle
    Mighty Eagle
    I continued to clash
    At Mighty Eagle however

    Mighty Eagle
    Mighty Eagle
    But clashing with Mighty Eagle
    Just not feel right


    Mighty Eagle
    Mighty Eagle
    I have made a wrong choice I now believe
    Terrible and unjust of what I did

    Mighty Eagle
    Mighty Eagle
    For am I not a monster
    For attacking a faction who loves me instead

    Mighty Eagle
    Mighty Eagle
    I was wrong
    Mighty Eagle was right

    Mighty Eagle
    Mighty Eagle
    Come. Please take me back Mighty Eagle
    For I believe I now know

    Mighty Eagle
    Mighty Eagle
    Were I truly belong
    For indeed I thought

    Mighty Eagle
    Mighty Eagle
    That Mighty Lion
    Is were I belong.

    Mighty Eagle
    Mighty Eagle
    O how I was so wrong Mighty Eagle
    I was gravely wrong and such a fool I was.

    Mighty Eagle
    Mighty Eagle
    You have met
    Princess Justine

    Mighty Eagle
    Mighty Eagle
    Princess Justine who attacked
    Mighty Eagle

    Mighty Eagle
    Mighty Eagle
    I know this was wrong
    And so to does Princess Justine

    Mighty Eagle
    Mighty Eagle
    With our clashing together
    I now know were I truly belong in Scourge PS4 EU I believe.

    Mighty Eagle
    Mighty Eagle
    Have you all not heard
    The famous saying. That is very wise and so very true?

    Mighty Eagle
    Mighty Eagle
    Let me repeat the famous saying
    that is very wise and so true

    Mighty Eagle
    Mighty Eagle
    It is
    My Enemy, Enemy's, Enemy's
    Is my friend

    Mighty Eagle
    Mighty Eagle
    I come to thee Mighty Eagle
    And so to Princess Justine.

    Mighty Eagle
    Mighty Eagle
    Who used to serve Mighty Lion
    But Now serve Mighty Eagle
    For the very first time in her career.

    Mighty Eagle
    Mighty Eagle
    Princess Justine and are one in the same
    Were I go. She will go to. For she believes it is right choice

    Mighty Eagle
    Mighty Eagle
    We are all yours
    O Mighty Eagle

    Mighty Eagle
    Mighty Eagle
    No one else but you
    I feel peaceful. Unafraid

    Mighty Eagle
    Mighty Eagle
    I belong to you O mighty Eagle
    I am so relieved to hear myself to say that

    Mighty Eagle
    Mighty Eagle
    Princess Justine and I


    Mighty Eagle
    Mighty Eagle
    Now flies and fights alongside with Mighty Eagle
    Who's Mighty talons stand for sacred Freedom

    Is it gonna be in crowns or gold? :):)

    Seriously, though, you just need to log in and then you enter the raffle, right? Nothing affects your chances (how long you play etc) - just pure luck?

    And why is that? haha

    @ZOS_GinaBruno or anyone from ZOS who knows.

    I think quite a few people would like to clarify this..
    What is my country of residence? Same as citizenship? I've been in the US for about 4 years (grad school), but not a citizen, so what do I put as my country of residence? The US because that's where I currently live (and where I am and where I should be after the Draw Date) or the country I come from?

    Please, help.
    Thank you.

    Then why do it at all and not something that the entire community can be a part of? Right now they just exclude the majority of their playerbase with this.

    I'm not saying "this ain't cool idea"..
    Since winning this in my current state of life would be really helpful and amazing.
    ..but to be perfectly honest I would still rather see you using all this money for making the game even better, this way we could *all* enjoy your " 1 million".
    The prize could be like 1 million crowns (lifetime) or 1 million in-game gold and not be such a overkill.
    Anyways..sharing is caring :)

    To all the players who are ineligible, I'm sorry to hear that. Still, I'm really glad that ESO is giving back. I mean they already have a loyalty program, but now they're giving away actual cash? I dunno about you guys, but I'm really happy that they're even trying. Frankly, WoW would never do loyalty programs much less a random monetary giveaway to players.

    Considering all you need to do is register and log in, what's the assurance this is going to be won by an active player who cares about the game?

    I already have friends who left long ago and have zero care for the game reinstalling and signing up. They will log in once a day then out again to go play other games.

    It doesn't mean it's going to go to a "loyal" player though. As I said in my earlier post. Bob who quit the game after a month can now sign up and log in and walk away with the money.

  • duncan_cougarpreeb18_ESO
    Don't want to burst your bubble, but this isn't about giving back. With the price reduction of 60% for the game itself now, it's a last ditch effort to get create some interest in the season sales, so that new folks pick up a copy now.

    Just read the fine print. That's not 1M$ cash now, but 50k$ on a year by year basis for 20 years.
    Well what's going to happen if there is no ZOS left in x years, mmh?

    Given the dwindling player numbers (at least on the PC servers), the near dead PvP, and now also PvE trials and even some smaller group content going the same route, the inability of ZOS to balance classes and/or skills, the amount of bugs seems to be the only number that is growing rapidly lately.

    Expect to see delays in content updates; with a "surprising" announcement sometime next year or so that also the gaming client will become "free to play". With DLCs (you need to have to play/gear for end-game) and more crown store items (latest then with a clear pay to win label) will be what's paying the rent for the servers.
