With the Free Play Event now live and no subscription required to play, there’s never been a better time to check out The Elder Scrolls Online. If you’re thinking about taking the plunge and trying out ESO for yourself, here are five simple reasons why now is the perfect time to delve into the world of Tamriel.

You Can Go It Alone

In ESO, there are many challenges and activities you can experience with your friends or fellow players, but if you prefer to play alone, there’s a ton of amazing solo adventures waiting for you, too. As a solo adventurer in ESO, you can take on exciting and captivating quests throughout the game, and almost every zone in ESO, including the main story from the base game and each Chapter, can be explored alone, giving you the freedom to see and experience Tamriel at your own pace.

If you want to challenge yourself, the Maelstrom Arena in Orsinium is the perfect test for the single adventurer, providing nine tricky stages and extremely tough boss fights for you to battle your way through. Don’t worry, the rewards for such a challenge reflect the task, since Maelstrom Weapons are some of the best in the game! Sometimes it pays to go it alone.

A Huge (and Growing) Elder Scrolls Adventure

Since ESO’s launch almost five years ago, the world of Tamriel you know and love has grown massively with a host of new DLC zones and Chapters. In addition to the ESO base game (which has 22 unique zones to explore), the game’s many DLCs have expanded into regions such as the Imperial City in Cyrodiil, the township of Falkreath on Skyrim’s southern border, and even the cities of Anvil and Kvatch on the Gold Coast, just to name a few.
