Hi everyone! We want to share a quick update on ESO Plus benefits in relation to Seasons and the seasonal currencies. We have a path forward to make sure everyone who has an active ESO Plus subscription starting at the beginning of 2026 will get the seasonal currencies. This includes those who purchased multi-month subscriptions before January 2026 that covered January, February, and/or March 2026.

New ESO Plus memberships from March 9, 2026 onwards will receive their seasonal currencies alongside the purchase (delivered similar to how Crowns arrive now), while players with active memberships between January 1, 2026 and March 9, 2026 will have their currencies retroactively awarded on March 30, 2026. In both cases, the currencies are being delivered before the Season Zero launch on April 2. Please note that seasonal currencies will not be spendable until the Season Zero launch.

    To be clear, we are still going to be receiving crowns with our subscription?

    When have they ever said we weren't receiving crowns anymore? Yes, we are.

    A couple of my guildies were asking if this means that people who have an active plus sub now are getting extra currency when its awarded? Or if they sub now, will they get more than if they sub to plus on the 2nd?
  • WerewolfMoonHunter
    Sounds like a good solution. Thank you for information and can't wait to try new seasons ^^

    It's probably worth reminding people not to open the Tome Point coffers before Season Zero starts. Unless I'm mistaken, any points you gain from sealed coffers will count towards the seasonal unlocks. You need the points to purchase items from the Tome, but you also need them to unlock later pages of rewards in the Tome (done automatically as you gain Points). So if you claim the contents of a Tome Point coffer before Seasons are rolled out (assuming the system even lets you), you may get the currency, but you probably won't get the page unlock benefit.

    For that matter, if you do get Tome Point coffers, it's probably best to sit on them until the very end of the season, to unlock stuff if you haven't managed to do so yet via gameplay. If you already have everything you want from that Tome, just hold the coffers for a future season.

    Will the people who purchased a year of Plus before January 2026 have the full time credited? Know someone in that situation

    Good question. I pay for a yearly ESO+ via the steam store all at once. No monthly payments.

    Yup! I renewed my yearly subscription in December. Curious how this works myself and others in that boat.

    what y'all should be doing.. is cranking out some seasonal ore, lumbers, and cloth.
    Dear Community/Followers,

    I want to address recent concerns regarding allegations of inappropriate direct messages and supposed cheating. First and foremost, I want to clarify that I do not admit to any wrongdoing. However, I understand that my actions may have been perceived in a way that caused concern.

    As many of you know, I am a disabled veteran who served in Iraq, and I am permanently and totally mentally disabled. My PTSD, which was formally diagnosed in 2013 after being reclassified in the DSM-5, has affected me in ways that are difficult to fully explain. While this is not an excuse, it has, at times, clouded my judgment and impacted my behavior. This condition is something I have lived with for a long time, and it is a daily challenge.

    As an influencer, streamer, and game reviewer with over 300 reviews, 800 followers on Twitch, and 1,600 followers on TikTok, I understand the responsibility that comes with my platform. Our role as influencers is to set a positive example, and I want to make it clear that I do not condone actions that go against the Terms of Service (TOS) or End User License Agreements (EULA) of any platform or community. Even though societal norms have evolved, and what was once deemed acceptable behavior in the past is no longer appropriate, I am committed to adapting and ensuring that my actions reflect the values we strive for today.

    I want to go forward with a commitment to better representing the disabled members of our community. I recognize that I may never fully "fit in" or be "normal," but I am dedicated to improving and learning from these experiences. It is crucial that we have more flexibility and better support services for disabled veterans like myself, so we can remain active members of our communities without being unfairly limited by our disabilities. These services would help ensure that we can make better decisions and avoid situations like this in the future.

    Thank you for your understanding, and I am grateful for the continued support of this community as I work to become a better version of myself.

    Sincerely,
    theshockcable
