Category Changes on ESO Forums

Hello everyone!
We’ve just made a few small changes to the forums to help reorganize some categories to better suit their purpose. These categories and discussions have evolved over the past couple years, and we feel these changes will better reflect the types of threads you’ll find within them.
In addition to the changes above, you’ll find that we have also slightly re-ordered the categories found under Official News and Updates.
We hope that these changes make forum navigation a bit more clear, and thanks to everyone who has provided feedback on the overall structure. Here’s to many more years!
We’ve just made a few small changes to the forums to help reorganize some categories to better suit their purpose. These categories and discussions have evolved over the past couple years, and we feel these changes will better reflect the types of threads you’ll find within them.
- News has been changed to Maintenance Announcements
- This category has been moving toward maintenance announcements exclusively for some time since most of our ESO news typically gets posted elsewhere, such as in General Discussion and the Website Article Discussions categories.
- Patch Notes has been renamed to Patch Notes & Hotfixes
- You’ll still find all the patch notes for the live megaservers in this category, in addition to any hotfixes we apply.
- Website Article Discussions is now News & Website Article Discussions
- The latest ESO news and announcements can be found first at elderscrollsonline.com, and there is always a corresponding forum thread to discuss the article. Here, you’ll find all of the appropriate threads for the latest news.
- Developer Discussion has been archived
- This forum category was never quite used as we originally planned, and the ESO developers prefer to instead post threads and replies in their respective categories. For example, you’ll typically find the Dungeon team posting in the Adventure Zones & Group Dungeons category. You’ll still be able to view old threads from Developer Discussion, but will no longer be able to actively reply to them. Most of these are relatively out of date and no longer applicable.
In addition to the changes above, you’ll find that we have also slightly re-ordered the categories found under Official News and Updates.
We hope that these changes make forum navigation a bit more clear, and thanks to everyone who has provided feedback on the overall structure. Here’s to many more years!

✭✭Any insight on a truly off-topic forum? Would be nice to discuss some non-ESO related topics, within the rules of course.
Glad to see the categories being changed though, News was always confusing as news was very rarely in there!

I saw the same hole. Took me a little bit of searching to find this post. I like the new changes ..... Anything to help locate information and announcements is always a great thing, .....Hah. I just logged in and was like "Why is there an empty hole"? Glad to see you posted an explanation!
@ZOS_GinaBruno Maybe add this post to the top of the forums where you have other major announcements for a few days so everyone can locate.

✭✭✭✭✭Seems to make sense.
As for the off-topic I don't think it's a good idea with this community. The mods have enough to deal with as it is without us talking about politics on the forums. @Turelus - EU PC Megaserver

crazmadsci✭✭✭@ZOS_GinaBruno I am personally very excited about this! Thank you!
Could we sticky a page with directions on how to get your invitation code if you cannot post on the forums? I still have many friends that commonly can't get into these forums.
@VerboseQuips I agree a lore discussion forum would be amazing.twitch streamer crazmadsci, Guildmaster Ethereal Army, Guide Writer: Travelers Guide to Tamriel.0 -

No, we typically post those in the PTS category, and will continue doing so.1
