Elder Scrolls Online Gold

Some time ago, ZeniMax, the developer of Elder Scrolls Online, announced that this game, which has been released for more than ten years, will introduce a very big change in 2025, that is, abandoning the previous Chapters and turning to a Seasonal System that is updated every 3-6 months, and no longer yearly expansions. As soon as this news came out, ESO immediately became the focus of discussion among players.

Some loyal players of this game find it difficult to accept such frequent updates to the game content, thinking that this will make the entire game with a very deep foundation become neither fish nor fowl. Other players who strive to try new things strongly support this improvement, because it will add a lot of theme story content, activities, store items and dungeons to ESO, and will also give players more fresh game experience.

But in fact, this controversial change will greatly revitalize this long-standing massively multiplayer online role-playing game, because it will not only give players who originally explored it a high-quality gaming experience, but also make some players who have never tried Elder Scrolls series of games interested in it and even start exploring it.

For Original Players

As just introduced, after Elder Scrolls Online is updated with the Seasonal System, you will have more new gaming experiences every 3-6 months, such as the currently confirmed Cyrodiil and some zones in the base game, which will provide you with some new tasks and activities, so that you can farm ESO Gold or items in the fresh game content.

In addition, each new content added is permanent, and you don’t have to worry about all the tasks, stories and new areas being deleted after the season ends when exploring in games like Diablo 4. So even if you unfortunately miss one season, you will not miss all the new content in that season.

Some players may worry that all the new content promised by the developers will not be released all at once in the latest update, so that players may need to spend more time waiting for the next seasonal game content.

This is actually completely unnecessary, because ZeniMax has publicly stated that a large new continent will be added to ESO intermittently, so we can fully expect this very courageous developer to bring a new area with high quality for players to explore in the following year.

In Seasonal System that ESO will use this year, you will not only see the addition of new game content but also the return of some familiar characters, such as Thieves Guild, Dark Brotherhood, Fighters Guild and other organizations, as well as their more content related to the existing storyline.

What’s more, the game tools and functions that the original ESO players have always criticized have also been solved to a certain extent with the help of Seasonal System, such as the performance issues of the guilds and Cyrodiil that have been requested to be added. At this stage, Elder Scrolls Online Direct has been confirmed to start on April 10, so these detailed changes and the game content in Season 1 may not be revealed until then.

For New Players

In fact, in the community of this massively multiplayer online role-playing game, you can often see some players who have never tried this series of games expressing their interest in exploring it, but they were usually discouraged by the huge amount of game content in this game before.

But with the new Seasonal System, these new players will have an easier time exploring ESO, because the shorter update content will allow players to only focus on the new content added in this season, instead of having to explore the current updated chapter and all the game content added before, which is a huge workload.

More importantly, after more than ten years of refinement, Elder Scrolls Online has become a very mature game. It will listen to players’ opinions and suggestions in a timely manner and make corrections to ensure that its player base will not be lost.

For example, the performance of PVP that players have been calling for has been modified recently, as well as the wrong achievements such as Ascending Tide Scout, etc. So you can have a very comfortable game experience of farming ESO Gold or grinding experience points in it, because it is tailor made for players.

Additionally, Elder Scrolls Online in 2025 will have a better onboarding system and some guidance, allowing these new players to dive into this fantastic MMO after their first try, something that many long-standing MMOs have not realized.

In general, Seasonal System introduced by Elder Scrolls Online in 2025 may make some long-time players uncomfortable, but this is also a very correct change made by this old game to adapt to the current game market. We can indeed look forward to whether the addition of this system will make the entire game more vibrant. I wish you a happy game!

Since its launch in 2014, Elder Scrolls Online has released a number of large expansion (often referred to as Chapters) and smaller DLC add-ons that complement the story and gameplay of the entire base game.

Some time ago, the developer publicly announced that the next DLC for ESO is expected to be officially released on March 10, which may bring players more interesting game features, or some new expansion areas and storylines. However, during this relatively long wait, you can try some of the high-quality expansions in this series of games.

Given that the quality of previously released expansion in terms of gameplay additions and overall storylines is uneven, this guide will introduce you to some expansions worth trying in the order of SAB Tiers, which may make your wait for new content more fulfilling.

S Tier

First, let’s take a look at some expansions that can be rated S Tier. They can perfectly combine storyline and gameplay, and have won unanimous praise from many players. The most worthwhile one is Morrowind, which brings the island of Vvardenfell in Morrowind province back to the game, and adds gorgeous new music that reimagines Nerevar Rising, which reminds players of many scenes in Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind, with a retro atmosphere.

Not only that, the dramatic scenes of Vvardenfell, the opportunity to meet Lord Vivec, and the fascinating storyline included in Morrowind are the main reasons why players voted it as one of the best expansions. Most importantly, this chapter is still free, so you may have no reason not to try it.

Besides Morrowind, Thieves Guild is also very good. It can cleverly combine a great storyline with a series of potentially challenging heists, completely subverting the unconscious and repetitive task rules that often occur in MMOs, so that players can always feel a very fresh gaming experience in it.

Thieves Guild is centered in Hammerfell in Abah’s Landing, which offers a lot of ESO Gold to power up your character, and is full of life, with players happy to interact with each other on small quests or trade cosmetics.

If you want to choose one of the most beautiful ESO locations, it must be the island of the same name in Summerset expansion, which is the capital of Aldmeri Dominion. This add-on not only adds a lot of crafting materials and group challenges for players, but also provides a lot of new land to explore and places to discover, which will keep players exploring fresh.

A Tier

Compared to the expansions in S Tier, the expansions in A Tier are slightly inferior, but they are still relatively good in terms of overall lore, and all have some retro colors similar to the previous series of games.

Dark Brotherhood has become the most impressive expansion in Elder Scrolls series of games because of its interesting storyline, because the main story is centered around this very popular faction. Its storyline mainly takes place in Gold Coast region of Cyrodiil and the iconic city of Kvatch, which are very important in Oblivion expansion.

In fact, many players do not think that Necrom is a very good expansion because it has a very long and complicated storyline, but those who are keen on reasoning and exploration think that this is a very interesting expansion. This additional content introduces one of the most popular families among the five major families of Morrowind, Telvanni, in depth, and sets the entire story in Telvanni Peninsula of Morrowind.

In addition to the overall storyline, Telvanni Peninsula in Necrom is also very legendary, and its connection to Hermaeus Mora’s plane of Oblivion, Apocrypha, makes it a very mysterious location, and continues the storyline of Shadows Over Morrowind and Secrets of Apocrypha.

Orsinium expansion provides much-needed depth and insight into the location of Orsimer, even if it has very fascinating lore and culture in its own right. So with a well-written storyline, interesting side characters, and fascinating settings, Orsinium has become the most eye-catching existence in ESO’s small DLC.

B Tier

For the expansions and add-ons in B Tier, there may not be any specific issues with the locations and exploration areas provided, but the overall plot does not live up to the developers’ promise. For example, Elsweyr, where the exploration area is home to Khajiit, the cat-people of Tamriel, is full of diversity.

Here, with multiple landscapes such as jungles, savannahs and deserts, players can experience a new exploration experience, and the overall plot also involves invading dragons and the addition of Necromancer class, but the execution of the plot is not ideal in the actual play of players, making players very disappointed.

There is also High Isle, which also introduces a new area to Tamriel with unique landscapes that have never appeared in ESO lore. The visuals here are completely comparable to Summerset in S Tier. But unfortunately, its storyline development does not fully realize the promise of its background, and falls into an unpredictable trap.

If you’ve tried Oblivion expansion before, Blackwood will be well worth your time, as it pays homage to that already very successful expansion in many ways, such as a very fun boss encounter that leads directly to Oblivion location after you complete it. The story takes place entirely in the area around Leyawiin in southern Cyrodiil, and the visuals here are some of the best in the entire series.

What’s more, a companion system is also added in this add-on, which means you can summon two companions to help you explore. This sounds interesting, right? But in fact, the exploration difficulty in this expansion is too difficult, and not many players are willing to try the challenge, making this feature basically useless.

These are some of the better expansions or small add-ons released by Elder Scrolls Online so far. You can explore them while waiting for the new DLC to come out, which may make your wait time fly quickly, and you can learn more about the legends of the continent of Tamriel from them. I wish you a happy game!
