Bethesda searching for fan's input on Elder Scrolls Online festivities


In the MMO genre countless fans appreciate the 'holiday events' that developers hold for particular occasions. Not everyone gets into the festive spirit yet and Bethesda is seeking fan's input on irrespective of whether events will need to be included in the upcoming MMO 'Elder Scrolls Online',

Bethesda lately posted a note on their official weblog, reaching out to fans to get a sense of how useful distinctive-events are to the expected community. In the open post to fans, Bethesda states, "Need to The Elder Scrolls Online join the party and get a few kind of holiday content installments when the gw2 gold game comes out?".

A lot of MMO's do getaway events, Guild Wars 2 lately celebrated 'Wintersday', 'Lord of the Rings Online' is presently celebrating the 'Yule' Festival and even 'World of Warcraft' hosts comparable parties. It's as a consequence of this shared tradition among MMO players that ZeniMax Online Studios is considering the following ideas and wants your help to implement them.

Within the official post Brian Armstrong talks about a few native holidays inside the world of the 'Elder Scrolls'. Particular days like "The 25th day of Evening Star" which is named Saturalia is 1 suggestion for a Christmas-like getaway. An additional concept is more for a new Year's celebration called the "Old Life Festival", which Armstrong says, "is a time for folks to reflect on their past. The New Life Festival takes place on the first day of the new year, & citizens get pleasure from the tradition of gratis ale in taverns around the country".

As for what can be included in the festivals a few concepts incorporate, "Cities and taverns could have party decorations, frosted cookies for sale from the vendors, and random NPC's may offer you presents (that were either something nice or a nasty (like a fruit cake)". Adding dialogue lines to the NPC players was also proposed.

An additional concept to get you thinking was 'Heart's Day', an event taking place on the 16th day of Sun's Dawn, this would be perfect for 'Valentine's Day' and suggestions range from "getting flowers, particular Tamriel chocolates, & umm... ~ahem~... renting a room at the neighborhood inn" according to Armstrong.

Armstrong goes on to list a number of other Elder Scrolls' traditions that may be linked to actual 'real-life' events and the company is searching for fans' input and suggestions on what to include. Of course this doesn't mean that any of the ideas will make it to the development stage then again it seems pretty clear that the developers are hoping to include a lot of events into the Guild Wars 2 gold game.

You could give some thought to the official post beneath and make your own suggestions on what could be included in the game. We think that whoever gets their thought chosen will need to grow to be the 'Patron Saint' of the celebration, & get their names somewhere in those NPC lines that were referred to earlier.
