The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited Launches on PC/Mac, Update 6 Live

The Elder Scrolls Online has officially switched to a buy-to-play model and acquired the Tamriel Unlimited subtitle on Windows and Mac today, after receiving the substantial update 6 earlier this month. Console players interested in the MMO will still have to wait a couple of months to get their hands on it, but I imagine that this will be a good opportunity for players who had dropped their subscription to give the game another try and see if ZeniMax Online addressed the problems they had with the title.

First, here’s the trailer:

I’m also going to quote a brief description of the Justice and Champion systems update 6 introduced:

Two major new systems have been implemented in this update: The Justice System and The Champion System. With Justice, crime has come to the once-friendly streets of Tamriel’s cities. You can now become a wanted criminal, sneaking, stealing, and even murdering your way through the world. But be careful the guards can and will seek to punish you if your crimes are witnessed. For a closer look at the system, check out our recent introductory guide.

The Champion System gives players with Veteran characters a new way to gain power. Once you have a Veteran Rank character on your account, you’ll start earning Champion Points, which you can invest in a variety of new passive abilities. If you already had a Veteran Rank character, you probably already have some Champion Points to spend, so check out our guide for this system to get a feel for it, too.

That’s not all Update 6 has to offer! We’ve completely overhauled provisioning. You’ll notice new recipes and much more inventory space as a result of our updating and streamlining. There’s also a new way to keep track of your mounts, pets, and costumes: the Collections Window. Now there’s no need to carry your vanity pets and costumes around, because you can access everything you’ve earned through the new UI at any time.

I’m fairly interested in hearing feedback on the recent updates for the title. I imagine they probably won’t change the mind of those who openly loathed The Elder Scrolls Online, but I wonder how those that were more lukewarm about the game reacted to them.
