The Elder Scrolls Online News

Commemorate a decade of The Elder Scrolls Online and our amazing community with a special in-person event that kicks off our massive 10th Anniversary Celebration!

[h2]Celebrating 10 Amazing Years[/h2]
Next year, The Elder Scrolls Online will reach its 10th anniversary since it first launched on PC/Mac in April 2014. To celebrate this incredible milestone, we’re kicking off a massive 10th Anniversary Celebration in April.

During the celebration, we’ll look back on ESO’s history and celebrate the game itself, its dedicated group of developers, its passionate, ever-growing community, and its bright future.

Whether you’ve been a member of the #ESOFam since early beta, have recently begun your journey into Tamriel, or are looking for a new epic online roleplaying game—you won’t want to miss this incredible celebration. It all kicks off next year in Amsterdam!

[h2]Join Us in Amsterdam[/h2]
The fun begins next year with the first ESO 10-Year Celebration Event, a two-day in-person event we’re hosting at the SugarFactory just outside of Amsterdam, Netherlands, from Friday, April 5, until Saturday, April 6. You can grab your tickets now by visiting the official signup website below.

At the event, you can mix and mingle with your fellow ESO adventurers and developers while enjoying two days of fun. This will include developer panels and roundtable discussions (with some livestreamed), hands-on gameplay, food and drink, live music, community activities, and more. In addition, the April 2024 event will host our first-ever in-person ESO cosplay competition, so if you’ve got an amazing ESO costume in mind that you think the community will love and are planning to attend, get crafting!

We'll share more specifics on the event with the community in the future, so keep an eye out on elderscrollsonline.com and our social channels.

We’re planning to make this the biggest in-person community event we’ve ever had, but it’s not the only one we plan to host during this massive anniversary celebration. There’s going to be a ton of special 10th Anniversary in-person events all over the globe throughout, including a big one in the United States in 2025.

Celebrate ESO’s anniversary with us!

Stay tuned for additional announcements in April 2024 when we unveil more.

Are you excited to celebrate 10 years of adventure in Tamriel’s Second Era with us? Let us know if you’re planning to make your way to the Netherlands for this initial event via X (Formerly Twitter), Instagram, and Facebook—we hope to see you there!

Hi All! We have a message from our Lead Combat Designer, Brian Wheeler, about our upcoming Cyrodiil Population Cap Testing, starting Dec. 6. See the message below:


Heyo all!

Over the course of the next few days, we will be running some tests in Cyrodiil where we’ll be periodically adjusting the population caps. The first realm being tested is PC EU on Wednesday, December 6. During this time, we will increase population caps and monitor throughout the day through prime-time hours; if all goes well, we will do the same on PC NA later in the week.

We encourage everyone willing to fight for their Alliance to hop into their respective Campaigns because throughout the testing period until December 12, everyone in Cyrodiil will earn Double AP!

Thanks in advance for joining this population test for Cyrodiil and enjoy the double AP while the test is active. See you on the field!

-Brian Wheeler

Though 2023 may be winding down, the daily rewards are only picking up this coming December. A few examples of the rewards on offer are listed below, including a new pet. You can claim them from the Daily Rewards section of the Crown Store, as described in this help article.

Stock up on Seals of Endeavor for choice Crown Crate items, perhaps even from the new All-Maker Crates. You can also earn Seals from Daily and Weekly Endeavors in-game and use them to buy goods contained in Crown Crates or normally purchased with Crown Gems. Learn more about Seals of Endeavor in this blog.




Anchorborn Pony Pet—Day 21

Probably not a Daedra. Probably.

Is this part of Molag Bal’s plot to dominate Tamriel, or just an unfortunate beast of burden geared up with the recycled debris of collapsed Dark Anchors? Whatever its origins, it’s adorable! Log in for 21 days to claim the Anchorborn Pony pet. We’re (mostly) sure it won’t betray you to the God of Schemes.




Remember, these aren’t all the rewards you can claim when you log in to the game this December 2023. To see the full list, log in on the first day of the month! If one of these rewards speaks to you, be sure to tell us about it on X (Formerly Twitter), Instagram, and Facebook. Of course, if it’s the Anchorborn Pony speaking, you might also want to tell a priest of the Divines!

Pay homage to the deity of the ancient Skaal faith with the items and collectibles found in the new All-Maker Crown Crates.

***

The people of the Skaal bow their head in reverence to the All-Maker. For through the All-Maker all are One. Will you join them in their distant land, to stand against the Adversary? Don their stalhrim armors, take up their rune-carved blades. Uphold the Wind and the Earth and the Sun as you seek harmony without and within. The great river of life flows, traveler. Will you flow with it back to the arms of the All-Maker?

***

The new All-Maker Crown Crates arrive in the Crown Store this Thursday, November 30 at 10AM EST. Opening these crates might grant you a sign of the All-Maker’s favor in the form of new and returning items and collectibles.

These goods include unique mounts, pets, furnishings, and much more. You can see just some of the items available within All-Maker Crown Crates below.

Clear Ice Boulder furnishing & Frostfall Recall customized action

Windcaller Garb costume and Orphan of the Stars skin

Those who are fortunate enough to truly catch the All-Maker’s eye might find one of the below extremely rare Radiant Apex mounts.

Solstheim Shiver Wolf and Star-Orphan Elk mounts

Blessed Highmane Lion mount

All-Maker Crown Crates will be available in one-, four-, and 15-crate bundles in addition to a unique 25-crate offering that is available as a one-time purchase only. In addition to the crates, this special bundle also includes the Solstheimstone Incarnate polymorph.

Enjoy a bundle of All-Maker Crown Crates alongside the Solstheimstone Incarnate Polymorph

This polymorph will be unlocked automatically and added to your collectibles when the one-off bundle is first purchased. It is not part of the All-Maker crates themselves.

Of course, the above are just some of the gifts the All-Maker can bestow upon his children. If you wish to see the full list of items you have a chance to receive when opening an All-Maker Crown Crate, check out this thread on our official forums.

Be warned, when the new crates go live, the currently available Buoyant Armiger Crown Crates will be removed from the Crown Store in turn, so don’t forget to pick them up while they’re still available!

All-Maker Crown Crates arrive this Thursday, November 30 at 10AM EST, and can be acquired from the Crown Crate section of the in-game Crown Store. Do you hope to prove yourself to the All-Maker and oppose the Adversary? Let us know about your wintry devotions via X (Formerly Twitter), Instagram, and Facebook.
