With this weeks announcement of the Summerset expansion for The Elder Scrolls Online we’re sure many of you are wondering what this means for the future of our ESO guides. Although we’d love to continue supporting these guides indefinitely, the truth is there just isn’t enough interest in them where that’s feasible. In fact, the Elder Scrolls guides only makes up around 1% of our total Elite subscribers in comparison to World of Warcraft.

However, we’re not thrilled about the idea of ending support for these guides so we’ve decided to try another approach. We’re going to make the guides “free-to-use”. This means that Zygor’s Elder Scrolls Online Guides will be free to download for all Zygor users regardless of whether or not you have a Zygor Elite subscription. However, they will not be updated beyond the current state, other than for compatibility issues.

We’re hoping this change will bring more awareness to the Zygor brand and services as a whole, and if it does, we may consider maintaining the guides further. Otherwise, they will be kept available until the time comes that changes to the game render them obsolete, at which point they will likely be removed altogether. Nonetheless, thank you to all who supported our ESO guides over the recent years. We appreciate it.

We’ll be introducing the new “Basic” account type within the next week or so which will allow players to sign up for a free account and gain access to the full ESO guides and all our free guides for WoW. Stay tuned.

Before the introduction of the Zygor Elite membership, all Zygor products were sold individually for a standalone one-time fee. When new expansions were released, customers could upgrade their existing guides for an additional one-time fee.

Due to a combination of factors (mostly requests to make it less costly to own all of the guides we offer, and the maintenance required to keep guides up to date), we introduced the Zygor Elite subscription in 2015. Zygor Elite allows players to access all of the guides we create at a low cost monthly fee. The reception to this change has been overwhelmingly positive and almost all users have switched to using Zygor Elite.

On March 1st, we will be ending all sales of standalone products and upgrades. This means that if you haven’t yet switched to using Zygor Elite and wish to buy any additional products or upgrades as standalone products, you will need to do so before March 1st. As it has always been, any standalone products will continue to be updated for the content they cover, per our legacy “lifetime updates” policy. Note, standalone product updates do not include brand new content, such as new expansions.

Going forward, Zygor Elite will be the only payment option offered. This means that we will not be selling standalone purchases or upgrades for the “Battle for Azeroth” expansion, so standalone users who wish to access our upcoming Battle for Azeroth guide content will need to upgrade their accounts to Zygor Elite. For a limited time, standalone users who haven’t signed up for Elite before will be able to sign up at the discounted Loyalty Rate of $4.99 / per month. This will likely end sometime around or after the launch of Battle for Azeroth.
