ESO's Lore: The Great Hack War - Book I

"Gather around... Short and tall... Big and small... For I have a story to spin to each and all...

Once upon a time, there was a group of people who played a game filled lore and love. PVP and everything above. Elves and humans, along with cats and reptiles. This was a game that could always brings about genuine smiles. It was a game that tested the cooperation of people combining as one to take on some of the hardest of trials... While providing solo players challenging content for miles and miles. Until one day, things changed. PVP began to change, and the fun began to stale. Suddenly the strong community's trust in its developers became frail, and thus comes this particular chapter of this fairy tale...

On the holiday weekend of a hot and beautiful Sunday, for once the people had had enough. The trouble that brewed for quite some time had finally ceased from bubbling, and had erupted. People of all kinds had finally had enough of the nonsense happening in this special game of theirs. The forum lurkers rose with thunderous roars from their holes. The flashy streamers documented and spoke out against the nonsense happening, and cast aside their limelight celebrity status to allign themselves with the common people. The pro PVE'ers and PVP'ers even stood side-by-side... Yes, even the so-called "tryhards" and "carebears" united for this war preparing to unload...

However! The guardians that the developers hired would not allow their developer overlords be spoken out against so easily by the people, and like Lich crystals arose to silence the outspoken players. Shutting down any and every attempt made by the people to cast light on things that had been transpiring for months. Regardless of the betrayal and anger these players felt, the guardians defended the "fallen" and devs alike... By clinging strong to their policies against name shaming amongst other things, these guardians were as solid as diamonds...

And so now, this conflict continues to reach its climax with blazing speed. The people versus: The fallen, the guardians, and the developers. The 3-sided war which would had in actuality existed since "Days of Old" having been sparked yet again... Round and round, like a carousel they'd go with no end in sight...

Who will win...? The fallen...? The guardians and developers? Or the people...? Who knows? But one thing is known for certain... This day of May 29th, 2016 would be remembered for a long time to come..." - The Great Hack War: Book I

    Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

    Meet my characters:
    Command: Do the thing.

    Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
    Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
    Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
    Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
    Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
    Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
    Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
    Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
    Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
    Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.

    Have you ever seen a lusty Argonian maid? Yeah, me neither with perma-bans. They only exist in fairy tales. :wink:

    @SeptimusDova that guy was on a site which I cant name, but sounds like a core that was owned, writing up programs to hack eso. I warned ZoS about him lol good to see they finally did something (if they really did or maybe he got bored of ESO)

    To the O.P.

    10/10 would read again

    Expected something intriguing about using CHIM to hack reality, only found more whining about forum policies.

    Oh wow! People really liked the lorebook, eh? Most excellent! Even more interesting is that someone managed to get Mage Guild XP from reading it. Lmfao! Too cool! Hopefully I can get on Oprah with my series of lorebooks to come, and become a best-seller. Kappa

    Be on the lookout for a few more lorebooks, everyone. These are dark and serious moments in ESO's history, and I believe in documenting it all for those who come after us to read. I shall provide books for those who are new to ESO to read, and gain knowledge of the past that ZOS may or may not hide. And hopefully, ZOS won't burn (delete or lock these threads) any books. But if they are burned, we must reprint them and safeguard them from ZOS' eyes. Stay wonderful, everyone. <3
