The World Plays ESO – Why starting in Elder Scrolls Online is especially worthwhile right now

The MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online received the expansion Blackwood on June 1, 2021. MeinMMO explains why now is the optimal time to start the online role-playing game and what the streaming event “The World Plays ESO” is all about.

What is “The World Plays ESO”? This is a current streaming event by ZeniMax Online Studios (Bethesda Softworks), which has been running since June 22, 2021. During the event, you can gain great insights into every aspect of the MMORPG.

The Ultimate Compendium for ESO Blackwood

148 pages of guides for new and returning players, including free extras: ESO base game, Morrowind, and 25% off Blackwood at Gamesplanet.

To the special issue

The participating streamers will show you the game’s content on Twitch. The theme and content focus change weekly.

Why is it worth watching the streams on Twitch?

Besides the fact that you can gain a compact insight into the versatile MMORPG, there are also worthwhile rewards waiting for you. In every stream of the participating streamers, you can win the game including the current expansion “Blackwood“.

Additionally, for collectors and lovers, a peaceful companion, the “pink torchbug”, will be raffled. You can also receive up to 2 Twitch drops per week.

The drops are called Ouroboros Crown Crates, which contain a random selection of crown gifts, motif stones, riding hours, or learning scrolls.

With a bit of luck, you can also receive an exclusive Senche of the Scarlet Regret as a mount or a Senche cub of the Scarlet Regret as a peaceful companion from the crates.

To do this, you only need to link your ESO and Twitch accounts in advance and watch a stream. You can find out how it works on ESO’s official website (via elderscrollsonline).
