    I'm not 100% sure, and don't quote me on this, but the other people I met that received the email were all long-time veteran players. That's just a guess, though.

    Been here since beta. Didn't get any e-mails. Oh well. Grats to anyone who got it! =)

    Same but I think there was way more beta players then 200

    Typical ZoS RNG gifts

    But Gratz to you getting one enjoy it

    Well roger...Im sorry it came off like that, I wasn't trying to imply that all beta persons got one...was just thinking if the 200 consisted of all beta persons...

    This was circulating the forums about the same time that the email for the free stuff in Elder Scrolls Legends came out. OP, do you perchance play Elder Scrolls Legends as well? Maybe that was their criteria for winning?

    Actually yes, I have played Legends, but not a whole lot of it. I never thought about that being the criteria, but seeing as how there were probably only 200 winners, I imagine there was more to it than just that.

    No doubt there was more to it, but maybe the combination of 'Played ES Legends', 'Has Morrowind DLC' is where they started the list from, and then drew names from a hat, as it were.

    Congrats all the same.

    .. or perhaps, those being within ZOS's inner circle or "White Knights." Ha ha. Cool, though.. congrats for those having received what it conspired to be.

    I don't know what the criteria was - I only know it wasn't Legends or having been around since beta and a long-term player. My husband got the email and he doesn't own Legends, nor did he play in the beta. He started playing about a year after me, after watching me enjoying the game. Maybe it's just a random pick.

    Either way, I can't wait to see what he receives. :)

    Remember those few posts from about 3 weeks ago, about the email that a few people got from ZoS asking for address info for a gift? Well, mine came in today! As promised, here are some pics!

    c762bc9939.JPG
    Everything came neatly packed in a cardboard tube, with the signature dragon/lion/eagle ouroboros.

    603302e8f2.JPG
    Popped it open, and inside I found a pin, a coin, a poster, and a sealed letter!

    c2a5422ab7.JPG
    The tail side of the coin is Vivec's hand symbol, and reads "ALL CITIES ARE BORN OF SOLID LIGHT"

    ee43280340.JPG
    The head side is a bust of Vivec himself, and reads "I AM GOLDEN WISDOM AND POWERS ALIKE"

    IMG_2182.JPG?raw=1
    Also got a neat pin of an unfolded Elder Scroll, very cool!

    IMG_2187.JPG?raw=1
    Then, we got a Morrowind poster! Sorry for the folded edges and low quality, it's pretty big. I had to use my 3DS to hold down the other edge while I took the picture!

    IMG_2183.JPG?raw=1
    Last but not least, there's a letter signed by what seems to be the entire dev team, reading..
    "Happy New Life Holidays from Zenimax Online Studios!

    It's been a great year building out all-new areas of Tamriel in the world of The Elder Scrolls Online, but it's you, the players, who really bring that world to life. We're delighted to have this opportunity to thank you for everything you do to make that world a living, breathing land of adventure. Wave your banners high - we'll see you in Tamriel!
    "



    This was an absolutely awesome gift, and a wonderful surprise! Thank you so much, Zenimax! Happy holidays to the staff team, and all the players in the community!

    And my question at ZOS:
    I play since the Openbeta, I am ESO+-member ever since, where is my present???

    should I feel in anyway somehow embarresed or so???

    or should I just decide that the time to go has come???

    questions, so many questions...................

    I have no clue! My suspicions were that it was to long-time and/or still ative beta players, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. It seems to have only been sent to 200 people though.

    Who needs a reason?

    Just a thought also to everyone asking why they didn't get a present.

    If everyone asks for presents then perhaps in the future no one will get presents.

    It would be impossible to give a present to everyone yes?

    So be happy that someone somewhere got a present. Who knows maybe life has different unexpected presents along the way for us all?

    At Fishmas time this one is just glad for the salmon and extra naps and needs, nor asks for, nothing more.

      Everythingredients zos does is to give a few people things aND the rest get nothing. It's not very cool.

      Their game is in shambles and they think giv8ng a few people nice things somehow make the rest of us ok?

      I'd be impressed if they removed loot boxes or increased loot box odds..that would genuinely strike me as a company that cares..not send a couple people collectables

      Chill out, you really expect them to ship out physical presents to every single person in this game?

      And it’s hardly in shambles, it’s probably the strongest MMO out there right now.

      I expect them to treat all players the exact same. So if they can't send it to everyobe..find something they can.

      I guess only some players are worth their efforts.

      At anyrate..it's not that big a deal in guess but still..I want that stuff lol

      NO, actually it wouldn't be hard at all...a game I used to play made a founders fountain in game and you could go up to it and click on a plaque and it would list all the founding guilds and its members...so it immortalized them in what they love, the game. This kind of stuff only leads to what it has led to, which is why I asked those questions right off the bat(cause I dont care about some trinkets that wont go to the grave with me) and could have been a REAL (tho virtual) token of appreciation to ALL the players and not some random 200...
