    A giveaway only a select few are eligible for. Fits ZOS perfectly.

    Gratz to those that received it. I'm curious if anyone as far away as here (Australia) received anything. Or if its just US/EU as usual.

    It's not like they had to do the giveaway.

    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.

    I just got mine and it is 1 of 200. I am so happy I don't even know what to say. I am going to the framing store and getting supplies to frame these pieces.

    Congrats.

    I guess maybe I should have spent that thread begging for stuff instead of Wrobels hind quarters out the door. Nah, [snip] since beta, not about to stop now. I'm having too much fun.

    Seriously, nice kitsch though. The signed letter puts a nice personal touch to it. Props to the PR guy (or more probably gal) who put together the package.

    I am currently worried for the future of ESO. Population seems like it is in free fall and the cancellation of the North America in-person gathering feels very much like pulling the plug. Kudos on fixing the in-game economy though. Clearly whatever gold shenanigans were happening the last couple years are fixed.

    I dunno... is it good PR?

    It's a nice touch... limited edition, signed, numbered...

    But 200 given out at random? It's no wonder people are thinking "Why them, why not me?". Particularly people who have been here since beta, subscribed from the start and been active on the forums since forever and get nothing.

    I mean, getting something without doing anything to deserve it is what winds people up constantly on these forums... "So you paid to train up your horse?"... "It took me a year to learn all 9 traits, and you want to buy that in the Crown Store?"... "I had to run dungeons for six months to get the piece I needed, and you want to buy it from a vendor?"... "You want to buy Vigor without doing any PvP?"... "You want to buy Undaunted mettle so you don't need to leave Cyrodiil?".

    Though obviously I wouldn't want that Vivec coin... ;)

    Jeez. If it makes you feel any better, even though I have a feeling it won’t, I’ve been on both the forums and active in the game since November 2013, and have been subbed near constantly the entire time.

    Been playing since beta. Guess EU players dont count.

    Gratz none the less.

    Wrong as usual, I've confirmed two that I know of in the EU (and another on that checked in on this thread which makes three)


    Anywho......


    Very nice surprise indeed......and of course the usual suspects are shedding their usual tears.

    From what I can tell there was no rhyme or reason to the gift, but hey with this community they could have given it to everyone that ever just tried a seven day trial and included a bar of gold and their would have still been crying.

    I just looked at my 4th anniversary badge & it is saying there are only 771 of us so far that have the badge. I'm guessing that means only 771 of us have stuck with the game since the start? Fyi I did not get the email either, but gratz to all that did receive it.

    Yeah there is a very nice custom frame shop, near me that will cut the frame design digitally....I was thinking of this because it has a Nord type styling to it

    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!

    [PS; sorry for the sideways images. Stupid phone camera.]

    wow, congrats, those are some nice stuff (the pin and the coin). kinda jealous xD, but nice to see zenimax/bethesda doing stuff like this, seeing you are from Na maybe only americans got it? or are there some ppl from cool countrys who also got?

    p.s. regardless it is nice swag, GRATS!

    Not all beta players as I play since the Beta, and didnt got it either. So my guess it would be random, or only the ones that are subbed all the way till now.

    I received my package here in the UK today.

    Thank you very much, ZOS. It truly feels like Christmas lasted an extra day for me this year. These things will take pride of place in my games room.

    I'm also impressed with the delivery. Not just because this package came all the way from Rockville to this little village in England in the space of a few days at Christmas time, but also because we had a foot of snow overnight and the road where I live is not cleared.

    I didn't take the delivery myself, but I'm told the delivery man was wearing shorts.

    It's the personal touch that makes this feel really special ;)
