Honestly the faster ESO gets comfortable with rewriting the lore and declare their own timeline, the sooner we can start enjoying some truely free and creative storywriting.
They already are... As has been stated multiple times between Tiber Septim striking all the history from records of what occurred prior to his ascending the throne and the Dragon Break that occurs later on it's really hard for them to make anything that can't be explained away by one or the other.
Tiber Septim is over 200 years away from the events of ESO
The game events have been confirmed to be cannon1 -

Yes, he means that's why the devs chose this time period. The details are all unknown, which gave ZOS the freedom to create their own stories. They aren't shackled by lore any more than Todd Howard's team is when they create a new single player TES game.Kittytravel wrote: »validifyedneb18_ESO wrote: »Akavir awaits

Skyrim will be two chapters, same with Hammerfell. Then one east of cyrodil and east of Elsweyr, Murkmire, east Morrowind and map is full.OtarTheMad wrote: »1. for those curious:
2. Yes it will probably take them years. They extended it by not doing a ton of the Skyrim region this year, as they said some will be in Blackreach. So that means we are coming back to Skyrim, probably, two more times.
3. We do have other areas of Nirn to explore like Atmora and Akavir as well as the Sea Elves homeland. We also have Daedric Realms as well, along with other planes of existence.
That is 8 years.Grinding just make you go in circles.
Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.0 -

✭Wouldn't the Alessian rebellion be interesting....the rebellion against the dragon-priests....Atmora before the end...lots of things can be done.
You know, I've been wondering. When they talked about the Antiquities system for Greymoor they mentioned that it let them tell stories that takes place even further into Tamriel's past than ESO is compared to the other TES games and I've been thinking about whether or not they intend to play with that to an even greater degree. Some base game quests takes us briefly into thw past to experience some event or other, but what if the expand on that and take a whole storyline or expansion into the past?1 -

✭✭Same thing games like Blizzard did. You start adding new continents and what not that we don't see.
There are other species, and continents that even mentioned in the lore that we might suddenly go to1 -
thissocalledflower✭✭✭✭ragnorok happensAfter careful consideration (and oh! so much deliberation) we have concluded that you circumstance sounds too much like a l2p issue for it to be just a mere coincidence.1 -

✭I don’t think they will be allowed to do akavir. The only chapters left are Skyrim, Hammerfell Cyrodiil and Blackmarsh. Each of these zones can contain 2 expansions each which will be 8 years roughly.
After that I expect the game to receive no more updates and will eventually close the servers. But I wouldn’t mind seeing an ESO 2!Edited by WildRaptorX on February 3, 2020 5:01PM0 -

I do think there is a reason why we have chapters and not expansions, as the word expansion is for when a whole new continent is added.@Chaos2088 PC EU Server | AD-PvP0 -

Yes. Many, many years.It will take years to fill the map.
And the Tamriel mainland aside... there are daedric planes (every prince deserves one just like the coldharbour we went to!), oblivion demi-planes (like battlespire for example, could also be good places for guildhalls), subterrean realms (blackreach may be large, but who knows what else is still buried beneath the snows of skyrim, the sands of hammerfell or the lava fields of vverdenfell?), several flavors of isles off the coast (in all directions, at varying distance... from the telvanni isles to thras, from solstheim to the whole of pyandonea), at least two or three lost continents (frozen atmora, sunken yukuda and possibly aldmeris...) and the whole of akavir (A continent rivalling or perhaps even exceeding tamriel in its own right).
I am guessing...
...they are not gonna run out of stuff to do before the game engine itself becomes so obsolete noone is playing anymore...

I'd be happy to find out why the Nords left Atmora; or how the rebellion against the dragon priests played out. Stuff they could do without damaging any timelines more than they've been bent/blurred already.1 -
LaerothKeykalyn✭✭✭✭"When asked about the ESO roadmap and whether the studio had plans for what to do once it had covered all of Tamriel in future Chapters, Rich Lambert replied: “One of the beauties of The Elder Scrolls universe is it’s not just tied to Tamriel. Tamriel is the giant main continent. There are other continents [and] there are also the infinite worlds of Oblivion that you can go and explore as well.”😉3 -

not like Tamriel is even all of Nirn let alone more than a tiny part of known (and unknown/deadric imagination) creation!“Be as a tower, that, firmly set,

Here's why they aren't short of options. 2021 seems like a safe bet, everything beyond can be rearranged, they're just areas suited for Chapters:
2020: Western Skyrim
2021: Leyawiin, Bravil, and the Nibenay basin (15 year anniversary of Oblivion)
2022: Blackmarsh, half of the remaining province
2023: Morrowind's Telvanni Isles (east section of landmass, Necrom would be amazing to see)
2024: Skingrad, great forests of Cyrodiil, Imperial reserve
2025: Hammerfell Chapter, half of remaining province (TES6 will be out by this point)
2026: Whiterun and Winterhold (15 year anniversary of Skyrim)
2027: Blackmarsh, other half of the province
2028: Western part of Morrowind (city of Blackreach) and Solstheim
2029: Hammerfell, remaining half of province
That's ten years of Chapters if you include this year's. And unless they're planning a big overhaul of ESO's visual quality (draw distance, LOD, base game zone updates) in the next year or two then I don't see it surviving for even half of that. It's got to compete with next gen MMOs soon, including a new MMO from ZOS themselves. I honestly think the plan is to keep this game going until TES6 releases, then put it on life support. At that point we can start hoping for ESO2 though
god i hope i dont have to wait that long before telvanni islands. wanted it to be this year0
