Founder

marten_philip · January 2016

Did they finally introduce a founder reward or title or something?

It's commonly known when a particular mmo switches from sub-base model to f2p-model that there's atleast a founder extra for those whom have been there since start.

I my self Played the beta and 2 months on release.

And just re-installed the game, Haven't been able to play any of the updated content yet since the game keeps crashing ( seems like nothing has changed)
So I can't tell if there's anything new, I only received a message that I've been gifted or granted 900 coins to spendable in the shop. But my guess is that the currency is based on the subscription time I've bought in the past.

So is there any?

We got Senche Tiger mounts.

Well they do have the monkey pet, ice wraith pet, dwemer sphere pet, and the jester costume that lets people know that you've been there since beta

As Ruben said, those that were subscribed for a total of 12 months between release and ESO: TU release got a Senche Tiger reward mount.

Ah so only people that have paid for 12 months get a founder reward? seems rather unfair imo.

I'm jealous of pc transfer's on console that have the beta monkey pet. Like common now.... kinda unfair :P

It's not a founder reward. It's a reward for those who subbed from start until the went b2p. It was part of the loyalty rewards players got for subbing. And you clearly stopped subbing after two months

And who cares about a founder reward/title? I rather have them fix the lag.

Those of us who were actual subscribers for the entire time thought so too...

and we discussed the idea of ESO subscribers getting a title... a good deal of people thought it would be a bad idea:

I don't think it's unfair at all. Think of it this way:

Draugr Polymorph on Crown Store = 1000 crowns (or approximately $10.00 US)

Subbing for an Entire Year = $15/Month X 12 Months = Approx. $180.00 US

For that $180 we got a mount, a costume, and 2 pets, plus access to the content for a whole year. (in addition to purchasing the game, which most of us bought for $80 to get the Imperial Edition)

You're allready being compensated with the coin currency for each month subbed.
So yeah in a way it is unfair.

This point is irrelevant. Crown currency wasn't introduced until loyalty rewards ceased. Subscribers since the introduction of Tamriel: Unlimited receive the crown equivalent of their sub, plus a minor boost to gold and exp gain. No vanity items have been awarded to subscribers since then.

I would also like to add that they were incredibly scrupulous as to who actually received the loyalty rewards. The requirement was 300 days of active subscription time. Anything less was denied their vanity items. In addition. many people faced the challenge of not receiving their vanity items for weeks or months after they were supposed to receive them, you know, for being loyal.

Edit: I forgot to clarify something. The Senche Tiger mount and the Mask of Cheerful Slaughter costumes were the only vanity items tied to the 300-day sub requirement. Other vanity items, such as the Ice Wraith and Dwarven Sphere, were awarded for lesser requirements.

ZOS never promised loyalty / founder awards.

ZOS later introduced loyalty rewards.

When ZOS ceased doing loyalty rewards they gave everyone who had stuck around a unique mount.

If you had subbed longer than two months you would have gotten loyalty rewards, but you didn't. There's nothing that's not fair about that. ZOS gave rewards to players who stayed subbed, you didn't. End of story.

You bailed after two months, that was your call. It wasn't a bad call, the game was pretty rough back then, but it was your decision. You may feel remorseful about that decision now, but at no point does fairness come into play.
