5 Possible Events After Launch

Based off the information we are given from the Elder Scrolls Online staff, we can expect a few spring up ideas that will make life a little easier in ESO. Here are 5 ideas you can expect to spring up at ESO Launch.

1. Trade Guilds - Players can join up to 5 guilds in ESO, this means you can almost guarantee to see some Trade Guilds to spring up, almost over night. These trade guilds will most certainly have a guild store, multiple members of all levels, and even though traders are not the most violent people in the world, they will have a PVP division as well. 

2. Mercenaries for Hire - With the need for trade guilds, I would expect to see mercenary groups spring up as well. These mercenary groups will most likely join trade guilds to maintain keeps, and without any doubt, get paid generously for their service and protection. 

3. Player Auctions - Yes, we will be kicking it old school. Several trade guilds will not be able to maintain a guild keep, hire mercenaries, or PVP. They will have to turn to alternative methods. In Ultima Online there was no Automated Auction House and no trade chat. If you wanted to sell your materials and items, you had 3 basic options. Place a vendor on your door step, sell your items in populated areas, or sell your items at one of the various player auction houses. I realize that the pampered players from WoW will find this a problem. Your old school players on the other hand, find it awesome and are eager for its arrival. 

4. Guild Politics - I would expect there to be some sort of player driven political system. Even now before launch, you have guild alliances springing up left and right. This will bring the political campaign to a start. I would even go so far as to see cross faction guild alliances as well. This is great for maintaining control of a keep, maintaining guild relations and such. What does it mean for traders? Opportunity. It gives them an opportunity to capitalize off of such politics. 

5. Spies - With politics, you will always have greed, deception, and spies. Spies can be agents, or double agents for that matter. It will take a unique player to pull this off. Given the information we have received about guilds, this is an extreme possibility. They will exist. So look out.

Elder Scrolls Preparation

     In order to get the creative juices flowing, I often like to start the morning out with a Yoohoo and a protein shake. I mix them, in my Blenderball from GNC. Just as soon as the frothy milk reaches the top of the bottle I slam it like a sorority sister from Nebraska on her 21st birthday. That's my breakfast. I eat generally 6 times a day with my diet. I do whatever keeps my metabolism as high as possible. What does not get my metabolism moving, is the fact that every close friend of mine, now has a key to the progressive beta of Elder Scrolls online. So now until they end the beta, my friends are in the world of Tamriel without me. With the NDA and my understanding of how Zenimax works, I refuse and they refuse to break that Non-disclosure agreement.

     It sort of puts me at a loss, here I am making the necessary preparations for my gold making website, which is meant to be 100% free to the public mind you. I am unable to start my research in to how things are going to go on the money front. Without any information what so ever from the beta, this has put me in a bad mood.

     So with that disaster, I went forth to find things to keep myself occupied. I have updated the website no less to support this blog, as well as a few other things. I now have 2 writers in my employ. Both are close friends, and they both have access to the *&*^$ beta. However, we have made an agreement that we shall not disclose any information, as it could get us sued up and down. So it's server, website, and blog work for me.

     When dealing with this level of boredom, often times you must find a way to keep yourself occupied. Lest you do not go insane and end up assaulting a renegade band of beavers. Their only plight being to rid the world of flowing water, as they build a large dam. I decided, "No, I am not going to kill, Slopdop, the friendly monk beaver for his information regarding beaver world domination."
Instead rather I will spend my time gloriously looking for ways to better prepare myself for the onslaught of endless gaming nights. The sad fact of the matter is, while I am writing this totally stupid entry, that will be read back years from now, I will realize that I should have been working on the website. Instead of course making myself laugh early in the morning with talks of beavers. It's unfortunate really. With nothing to write I can always find a way to write totally ridiculous material. I understand, and like many of you out there, all 5 of you even, that I am not funny. Well you know what I say to that?

You're right. I am not funny.

But.. I need material on my blog to test with.

Future me. Sorry for the time lost.
