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.

A WoW Economy

It's not a very easy thing to do, posting a blog per day that is. It's hard to stress that my methods will work for any game. Not just for one in particular, but any game. That is not to say that it isn't work. This line of things is not for everyone. It's not given to you like cheats would, or like hacks or bots. These guides allow you to achieve for yourself, but with help. It's just like these blogs, I am not at this alone. I have help. Help, from individuals whom have proved themselves worthy of the Gold Goblin tag. I look forward to reading what they have to say, as I am sure you look forward to that as well. Hopefully, with any luck, you are reading this now, and are excited, like I am, for the things to come.

I got my start with gold economies from World of Warcraft. The name now, makes me cringe. I realized that I really have no photo evidence of my success on World of Warcraft. I only have my word. Seeing is believing so to speak. So over the course of the "waiting 3 months."  I will show, and explain my methods in depth, via YouTube. Unfortunately for me, this means either resubscribing to World of Warcraft, or "borrowing" an account from someone who already plays. Most likely what I will do is create an entirely new account, using the basic World of Warcraft game. I will not need the expansions to show that my methods work. I will attempt to show you each week, my progress, from limited to no leveling, and moderately all auction house transactions, that it is possible to show a large increase from start to finish, in a few days, if not less. 

As I have mentioned before, becoming a Gold Goblin, is not for the faint of heart. It takes work, a LOT of research, and time. You may find yourself getting up at 6 am to get in on those auction house deals, or those early market trades. Like anything else, including real life work, none of the work matters, it's the pay day that counts. Yes, it may suck, and yes, it is boring. People pay good money for tips like these. Here, you pay nothing but your time reading the blogs. Your success, is our payment.
