If someone takes the risk, I'll bring popcorn.

Why a giant tea bag?

Do you really have to ask?
Think about it for a second; you'll figure it out

I don't understand what a tea bag has to do with Elder Scrolls Online cosplay.

Woosh!

Someone's gonna have to explain to him what teabagging is. I don't want to risk it, though.

Wait, the tea bag cosplay would be to reference tea bagging in PVP?

Now you;re catching on.

Can't we discuss more pleasant and nice cosplay outfits?

I'd cosplay just as a Moth Priest at an ESO event. Could be fun times. Nothing too wacky.

If a event were to be held, I believe only 10,000 people or less will come and not the 10 millions they boast.

Wouldn't it be a little bland though? I mean everyone's costume would look like this, right:

Could you imagine the logistics of 10 million people in one place??

given that population of entire NYC is just under 9 million? and that Blizcon tends to get about 20+thousand people across their entire weekend? I'm not sure you guys get the sense of scale here.

I mean... comiccon gets about 130k people over the weekend and its... its a mess. crowded, good luck getting into any panels unless you reserve your spot early in the morning mess.

10k people is about the number of the typical specialized convention attendance, so...

Not everyone has to cosplay.

*Whoosh!*

Would it make more sense if I said I'd cosplay as a Cyrodiil loading screen?

If cost were no object, the Apostle Heavy armor would be sweet to wear. Heavy, but awesome.

I hate to say this, but it seems you’re not quite up to date. Don’t you know that Fallout and The Elder Scrolls share the same universe?

A marketing trick of false denial.

Oh come on, that's not the same thing!

Run by Zenimax and releases news from all companies owned by Zenimax.So yeah it is.

I feel like QuakeCon has a greater emphasis on Quake games and the tournament held there. Sure they show some upcoming games but it's not a place to cosplay as a Dunmer or anything.

I am European so the whole cosplay thing goes over my head. I have been to Eve Online fanfest and that is something I never wish to repeat.

European's don't cosplay?

I am sure they do,somewhere but I have yet to see someone cosplay.It's just not a big thing in my neck of the woods.

some of my fave cosplayers are European, so yeah... they do indeed cosplay in Europe

Not sure about mainland Europe but people in the UK definitely do cosplay. I've been to MCM Comic Con a few times and part of the fun is seeing how far out from the convention you can spot your first cosplayer. One year I'd only gotten as far as the train station in my town and I saw the first one. By the time we were nearly at the convention centre it was more like spotting people who were obviously not going.

But also, having been to a convention like that I absolutely would not want to see one with 10 million people attending. Not that you'd ever be able to get everyone who plays ESO in one place. For a start there will be plenty of people who aren't interested enough to go. Add in people who can't go for various reasons (kids, work, lack of money, the government of the country where it's held is ramping up their xenophobia and won't let you in if you have a "foreign" sounding name or the wrong skin colour, health issues etc.) and you'd be lucky to get 10% of us together.

Could be fun though, although I'm also not sure how much stuff you could have at a convention that specific. I think a general TES or Bethesda one would make more sense.

I'm going to guess the reason that they aren't doing something like that is because of several reasons.

1.) These kinds of events are typically very time consuming to put together, organize, and then put on.
2.) Even if you charge ticket prices, the events typically run at a loss.
3.) It takes away from development time, because Devs are then putting that energy into presentations, powerpoints, and "Showing things off" instead of working on the game proper.

I've been to several MMO Fanfests before, and all of them are a lot of fun. But i'm going to guess the cost of time and money is the reason they aren't pulling it off, especially when they have Quakecon, PAX, etc, that they can go to and meet folks at.

1. Most companies hire additional staff that are focused on creating these events.

2. Ticket Prices, Merchandise, Digital Ticket Sales (like Blizzcon) will generate revenue.

3. Development time would not be impacted.

At least at East European Comic Con there is a lot of cosplay, same as for other conventions. I think that guy just chosed the wrong event to participate. For me there is always a lot of fun, nice people and hot chicks. I have a photo with someone that made a cosply for Leia in her slave outfit ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Yeah, more than likely.
