The Elder Scrolls Online is a massively multiplayer online role-playing (MMORPG) video game developed by ZeniMax Online Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks. It was originally released for Microsoft Windows and OS X on April 4, 2014. It is a part of The Elder Scrolls series, of which it is the first multiplayer installment.
As with other games in The Elder Scrolls franchise, the game is set in the continent of Tamriel and features a storyline indirectly connected with the other games. The Elder Scrolls Online had been in development for seven years before its release in 2014. It initially received mixed reviews, but these improved significantly with the re-release and rebranding as The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited, with the majority of reviews praising the changes.
Update 12, One Tamriel — our largest free update to date —One Tamriel is designed to bring the entire ESO community together, allowing you to go anywhere and adventure with friends of every level. For the first time you’ll be able to explore any zone in Tamriel, in any order, regardless of your level or alliance. This new open world format will help to unite guilds, factions, friends, and fans more than ever before.
There’s never been a better time to log on with your existing characters, or to invite friends to experience ESO for the first time and take them along regardless of their level.
But that’s not all! Here’s a list of other features that will be coming with Update 12:
· Craglorn Re-Design — You can now solo in this group-friendly environment.
· Dungeon updates — Normal and Veteran Modes have been added.
· Dueling — Challenge your friends or foes and test your mettle in one-on-one combat.
· New Weapon Ultimates — Master your weapon of choice and get new Ultimate abilities.
· Undaunted Pledge System Updates — New daily pledges and valuable rewards.
· Itemization updates — Items will now scale to your level everywhere in the world.
This June, the next Chapter in The Elder Scrolls Online will begin. Return to the iconic island of Vvardenfell for over 30 hours of adventure in a brand new location, with a new class, a new PvP mode, a new Trial, and so much more.
The fate of Morrowind hangs in the balance and you must take up the mantle of a hero to help Vivec, the legendary warrior-poet and Guardian of Vvardenfell, save the world from a deadly Daedric threat. Set roughly 700 years before the events of The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, ESO's new Chapter takes you to familiar locations as you attempt to solve the mystery of Vivec's mysterious illness and restore his strength. Travel from the volcanic Ashlands to the mushroom-filled forests, and walk the streets of Vivec City, still under construction at this point in time.
With the largest landmass addition to date, a brand-new player class, and an intense new PvP mode, The Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowind is the perfect entry point for new players and a great way for veterans to continue their journey.
Those who already own ESO can simply upgrade their experience and immediately jump into the new Chapter when it launches on June 6, 2017 for all platforms, including on PC in Japan. And thanks to the One Tamriel update from last October, new players can also sail directly into Morrowind and play with other adventurers of all levels. The Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowind also includes all the original ESO content, so new players will have access to hundreds of hours of excitement throughout Tamriel. Existing players can choose to carry their characters over to Morrowind, or start fresh on a new adventure with a new face.
And you may indeed want to give a new character a go, as Morrowind introduces the first new class since ESO launched. The new Warden class wields powerful nature-based magic and, true to the Elder Scrolls franchise, can be customized with a number of abilities to suit your playstyle. Explore the island of Vvardenfell and charge headfirst into battle knowing your Warden's ferocious War Bear always has your back.
Morrowind also introduces a new Trial and PvP mode for you to check out. Enter the Telvanni tower of Tel Fyr with your strongest allies to battle your way through the Halls of Fabrication, and explore a part of the Clockwork City in a challenging new 12-player Trial. Or, you can head to the Ashlands to take on fellow players in exciting 4v4v4 battles in arena-like environments. These highly competitive fast-paced matches will feature your choice in a variety of game types across three different maps.
Four different editions of Morrowind will be available at launch: the Standard Edition, the Upgrade Edition, the Digital Collector's Edition and a physical Collector's Edition. Get all the details on what's included in each edition here, or you can check out our pre-order FAQ here.
Starting today, when you pre-order any edition of The Elder Scrolls: Morrowind, you'll receive the Discovery Pack which contains the following:
Exclusive Warden costume – a costume for all classes that matches the Warden's outfit, as seen in the announcement trailer above

The previous month has been a busy one for Vanguard as Talisac stepped down from VLC to transfer over to and lead 4th Corp.
In addition to the staff shuffle, we have recently brought in Rocket League, Left for Dead 2 and Rust.
Rocket League is a team we in Vanguard have been wanting to bring in for sometime and are hopeful will do well.
Left for Dead 2 whilst an older game has a quite solid player base so whilst not expecting a large team we do believe it can do well and add to our growing variety of selection of games.
Rust is a game that has been tried a couple of times in the past and been unsuccessful.
However as has been demonstrated previously with teams such as WoW, WF and WFM, sometimes you just need the right combination of passionate and enthusiastic staff as well as the game itself being in a good place.
We are still looking to bring in more teams. Therefore if there is games that you want to see in TAW please contact the VG staff or complete the interest form of which a link is at the end of the newsletter.
Thank you and hope you enjoy the latest update from the Vanguard Train.
The Vanguard Team
With the additional spin up teams being brought in, it was important that the Vanguard was reorganised so that it was fully staffed and ready to handle the influx.
Therefore Zenmire was stepped up from VG DO to VLC and the search then began to identify a suitable VG DO replacement.
After interviewing various potential candidates our shortlist was whittled down to just two members. At that time the current VG staff then got together to discuss the pros and cons of each individual. Whilst it was considered both could do a really good job, it was decided that Antistreik just edged it and should be offered the position.
I am happy to say he has accepted, has recently been transferred over and has already been stepped up and put to work.
This would also be a good time to thank all those that have shown interest in the VG DO position and although not successful this time will be considered in the future.
Q1. What is the game that got you to join TAW?
A1. Arma 2 more than 4 years ago. I got recruited by Xomad back then on the Arma 2 division’s Domination server.
I got my bootcamp and once i reached PFC i applied for a DI position which i held for a few weeks.
Q2 What were your reasons for accepting the Vanguard position and what do you hope to achieve?
A2. I accepted the position within Vanguard because i think it gives me the opportunity to learn a lot of new stuff and especially that it gives me the chance to help this awesome community grow and make it more fun for everybody.
Vanguard is the place in TAW that every Division has to go through and because of that it gives you the chance to train new TFO’s or even show some.experienced people.something new.
And that's what I would like to do to help TAW as a hole function better.
Q3 Do you have a game of choice and genre?
A3. I won't say so. I was with the Battlefield and the Arma division so you could say that I'm into shooters but in general i play nearly every game out there.
Q4 Anything else you want to tell the community about yourself.
A4. My mentor within TAW once told me what he thinks TAW is all about and i would like to transfer that message out to everybody. TAW shines with its structure, the wide range of games and the clear movement and processing. But what TAW really is, is much more important. For me TAW represents a place to find friends from all over the world without taking a look at someone's appearance religion or political statement. TAW is all about finding new friends and having fun together.
And thats why im here for more than 4 years with only 30 days of absence in between. Here at TAW, at my second home!
Whilst it has been a slow start to the year, activity in the form of new teams is now starting to pick up.
