If you’re bored on July 4th when the US is busy eating hot dogs and blowing off fingers, welp, I can’t help you there. But if you’re patient and can wait until the 5th, The Elder Scrolls Online would like to welcome you to what ZeniMax is calling an “ESO Plus Bonus Event.”
Existing non-subbing players can head to the in-game store to pick up a free trial activation, granting them subscription access from July 5th to July 9th at no cost. That’ll get you temporary access to all the DLC, crafting storage, double bank space, costume dyes, extra housing deco space, and 10% bonuses to experience, gold, crafting inspiration, and trait research rates. It won’t get you Morrowind, the 1500 crown stipend, or daily login crown crates.
What if you already sub to the game? “Current ESO Plus members are invited to celebrate as well, and can acquire up to five of the new Dwarven Crown Crates just by logging in every day,” says the studio. “These crates include some amazing rewards, with a chance to receive mounts, pets, costumes, consumables, and other in-game items.”
To activate the Free Trial, players should: Log into The Elder Scrolls Online. Navigate to the Crown Store. View the “Featured” category. Find and select the ESO Plus Free Trial.
To participate as a current ESO Plus member: Simply log in between 12:00am EDT and 11:59pm EDT (Eastern) on each day of the event. Crown Crates earned during the event will be delivered to your account on July 17.
