    You do realize that it's a 65 gb files to download. I don't expect a lot of people to be jumping on that. I couldn't see asking any of my friends to do it. They would need to be able to start downloading it now to play by the weekend.

    What's that motif the high elf is wearing? Looks pretty cool.


    Sorry off topic lol

    The Ebony style. It's not available as a motif yet, but some NPCs wear it and the armour set "Ebon Armory" comes in that style.

    let's make 10 alt account and gain a free guild bank this weekend

    Tried that last time, that fun ended pretty fast...

    "Greetings,

    It has recently come to our attention that your guild reached the guild bank threshold through the inclusion of multiple accounts with free weekend keys, and that many of these free accounts appear to be duplicate accounts. Please be aware that creating multiple free accounts to get access to guild storage is not intended behavior, and is disruptive to the game service. As such, we have disbanded this guild.

    Thank you for your understanding."


    ...so my advice is to do something better with your time than making free accounts for nothing.

    I tried to do a free play with another game and yeah, it took almost the whole free play weekend to download the game and so it was pretty much a waste of time and bandwidth.

    Hopefully ZOS will let people download before the free play period so they can actually play the game and not spend the whole "free play" downloading the game.

    On a lighter note, will any of you feel guilty using your proc sets in Cyrodil during this time?

    The size is making it harder and harder for casual participation, especially when you can grab a new retail box of the original pre-TU game off eBay for $10 or so.

    And if you're doing this to enter the sweepstakes, the mail-in entry requires no logged play time (or at least provides no legal obligation to). Just print, complete, and mail:

    You can download the game right now I believe (PC) or from today/tomorrow on console. Even with a basic connection, providing there's no data cap, you can download it by Friday if you leave it on continuously.

    Can you buy mimic stones for 500 crowns? step 1. make new account. step 2. buy mimic stones and a cheap fancy motif. step 3. make fancy armor, trade to crafter, and decon for fancy tradeable style material. step 4. repeat = profit?

    Edit: I'd say tainted blood from Assassin League style has the greatest return to investment value. The motifs are as cheap as 500 gold and the style material sells for like 5k (on PS4).

    ESO FREE PLAY WEEKEND – PLAYSTATION 4 & PC/MAC.....

    Even though this doesn't affect me as I'm a subscriber...I find this offer a disgrace that XBOX players are not included...in fact to pose a question...are XBOX players 2nd rate users?

    Are the hundreds of thousands of XBOX players deemed not worthy of this offer? or have I completely not fully read the declaration and somewhere in teeny weeny print, the offer is there for XBOX players?
    I presume that in big bold letters at the top of the article it states only PS/PC users, that it is what it is!

    Favouritism is definately a worrying trait with Zenimax.

    No, the cheapest Mimic Stone pack is 600.

    We already got our 500 free Crowns when we bought the game.

    My guess is it's because Microsoft generally doesn't like giving things away for free.

    The release of BBC iPlayer on Xbox 360 was delayed for a long time because Microsoft wanted to either charge for it or make it exclusive to Xbox gold account owners and the BBC kept having to explain that it's literally illegal (seriously, it's part of UK law) for them to charge for things like that because it's already paid for through TV fees.

    Guys, ZOS put the Starter Pack for 480 Crowns for 11 days.

    That means that free players will be able to get a horse, a dog and a few consumables with their 500 Crowns.

    That's pretty nice, I have to say. Although there isn't anything they can buy with the 20 leftover Crowns.
    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.
