Elder Scrolls Online Players to Receive 3 Race Change Tokens Ahead of Racial Balance

Ahead of the upcoming reworking of Racials in Elder Scrolls Online, the team has heard player feedback about “the total number of high level characters from ESO accounts” and will be awarding every player three race change tokens and three name change tokens. These will be automatically added to player accounts ahead of Update 21 when the changes to racials go into effect. We think that’s a pretty classy move altogether.

Legends of Aria’s Dungeon Expansion is Live

Legends of Aria has been updated to bring the Dungeon Expansion to live servers. “Wilderness dungeons finally got the love that they deserve,” it says in the announcement blog. In addition, PvEers will have a new tool “that will help them avoid unscrupulous ganks”. It’s a spell called Ward Evil that is only visible to the caster.

Meet some great people, and genuinely enjoy myself. Not something I can say about MMORPGs lately.
