Well well well....
Guess what popped into my INBOX this afternoon:

| And right after my post on I Sheep Things as well. |
For the record:
No, I did not request a beta key.
Really, I didn't request one.
Honest!
And since I'm playing my way through from Vanilla ESO through Summerset, I certainly wasn't expecting to get to Elsweyr any time soon.
My guess is that they pulled my account out of a hat for a random key giveaway, because specifically targeting me would be an epic fail on their belief of the reach of this blog.
If anything, I was debating about taking a few extra dollars and purchasing some of the DLCs --or at least comparing the cost of purchasing DLCs versus an ESO Plus membership-- rather than jumping into Elsweyr. After all, it'd be nice to get a bit more backstory on some of the places in the DLC*.
However, I think I can swing this. I can stick to some of the non-story specific places, such as Delves and whatnot, without actually playing through the story and spoiling the expac for me. But for the record (and in a non-spoilery fashion), I'd dearly love to allow my character interactions to punch Tharn right in the face, in much the same way the Smuggler in SWTOR gets an opportunity to slug Guss Tuno in the kisser.
*I also would like to know how Cyrodilic Collections fared in Murkmire.
It seems they've been giving these out like candy... several of my guildies received them too, and that after only having bought the game less than two months ago.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure whether to think good or bad things about this, Shintar. The good part is that they want as many eyes on the expac to improve the quality, but the bad part is that they might be behind the number of preorders they were hoping for and want to use the beta keys to entice people to buy the expac.
