Using ZeniMax Online’s Megaserver technology, players will join one connected world with a built in social network that lets them stay up-to-date with everything their friends are doing.

Megaserver technology avoids the hassle of shard selection and makes The Elder Scrolls Online one of the most socially enabled games ever created.  Whether playing alone, or with hundreds of friends, players can develop their own style of play as they embark upon an epic quest across Tamriel.

Dragonhold, the culmination of the Season of the Dragon, The Elder Scrolls Online’s first year-long interconnected adventure, is now live on PC and Mac. Xbox One and PS4 players will make their mark on Southern Elsweyr on November 5th.

Dragonhold features Southern Elsweyr, a new story zone with three unique biomes, and packed with delves, world bosses, quests, Dragon hunts, and more. Players can purchase Dragonhold for 2,000 of the in-game Crown currency or by becoming an ESO Plus member (which nets players additional benefits). Especially intrepid players can unlock the Dragonhold Collector’s Bundle for 4,000 Crowns and receive the Legendary Dragon Hunter mount and pet and a pack of Experience Scrolls.

The free-for-everyone Update 24 features the first wave of planned performance improvements. This first batch of changes includes a memory management overhaul, the first phase of combat ability performance improvements, and a complete redesign of the Looking for Group system. More details on the performance improvements plan and a roadmap are available here.

Separately, the #SlayDragonsSaveCats charity effort continues and has already raised over $65,000 for charity so far! Players slay dragons to help raise money for two great charities: Best Friends Animal Society and FOUR PAWS.
