Although Zenimax has not revealed when The Elder Scrolls Online: Murkmire will be released, information about the login rewards for November is already known. Diligent players can receive the new DLC Murkmire as a free login reward.
In Murkmire, players venture into the home of the Argonians. A swampy region awaits the players. Ancient ruins are waiting to be explored, and you must face the untamed wilderness. As usual, ESO Plus members receive the DLC free for the duration of their subscription. The DLC can also be purchased for crowns.
But for the first time, there will soon be another way to obtain the new DLC.
You don’t have to pay for Murkmire
Murkmire is free: If you are currently short on cash, you just need to bring a bit of perseverance to obtain Murkmire for free. The new expansion is supposed to be available as a login reward in November.
Unfortunately, nothing is yet known about how many days you need to log in during November to receive the DLC. Therefore, fans have put forward various theories about when players will receive Murkmire in November.
Update 10/8: It is now known. Players must log in for 24 days in November to claim the reward.
Is ESO using Black Friday to get Murkmire to the public?
ESO might give away Murkmire on Black Friday: Black Friday falls in November. Originally, this is the day when numerous products are heavily discounted in the USA. Meanwhile, there are also significant discounts on various products here in Germany on that day. Black Friday is on November 23 this year. Fans suspect that you need to log in for 23 days in November and in return receive Murkmire.
What speaks for it? Black Friday is a big deal in America. Crowds of people rush into stores to buy Christmas gifts for their children, for example.
What speaks against it? Logging in for 23 days should be relatively easy for many players. Zenimax might be giving away the new DLC too easily.
Will Murkmire only be available at the end of the month?
Murkmire might only be available for the particularly diligent: Another fan theory suggests that Murkmire is a reward that will only be given to players at the end of the month. This way, players really have to stay on the ball and can afford to neglect the daily login for a maximum of one or two days in November.
What speaks for it? It would be significantly harder to receive the new DLC as a login reward. Only players who regularly start The Elder Scrolls Online and collect login rewards have a chance to receive Murkmire for free.
What speaks against it? Zenimax has already announced that Murkmire will be available as a free login reward. If it is difficult for many players to obtain the DLC through daily logins, those players will likely end up disappointed.
ESO is giving back to its players this year
ESO might be generous this year: In recent months, Zenimax Online, the developer of ESO, has been very generous. Players have been able to collect various valuable rewards.
Zenimax surprised ESO players with particularly good login rewards in August. Fans suspected that the rewards were related to the release of the “World of Warcraft” expansion Battle of Azeroth. Many players did not think that ESO could top the great login rewards from August in the following months. However, in September, ESO gave away 100,000 gold to particularly diligent players.
During the “Late Summer Event” in September, all players worked together to unlock various rewards – including their own villa. Some players complained that it was too easy to obtain the rewards.
What do you think? When will the Murkmire DLC be available?
