UESP 2020 Charity Event — May 01, 2020

- For each vote we'll give $1 to that charity.
- The winning charity will get a 50% bonus.
- We'll donate the funds from all new patrons in May to the winning charity.
- Right now we're limiting the money donated from votes to $1000 but depending on the community response we may increase that.

Dark Heart of Skyrim Announcements — January 18, 2020
As part of a global reveal event held on January 16, ZeniMax Online Studios has announced two of the upcoming content releases for ESO as part of the year-long "Dark Heart of Skyrim" storyline: the Harrowstorm dungeon pack coming in March 2020, and the Greymoor Chapter due for release in June. Harrowstorm features two new group dungeons named Icereach and Unhallowed Grave, and will be available for public testing sometime next week. Greymoor will be set in Western Skyrim, roughly spanning the holds of Hjaalmarch and Haafingar; in addition, a significant portion of the explorable area is actually located deep underground, in the massive province-spanning caverns known as Blackreach. The story is focused on aiding Lyris Titanborn in stopping a Vampire Lord from invading the surface world and conquering all of Tamriel. The Chapter will also be adding a new treasure hunting "Antiquities" game system.
Information on the latter two content releases for 2020 will be announced later this year and will consist of a second dungeon pack and a zone DLC. It was teased that the zone would be taking place in the Reach. Greymoor and its Collectors Editions are available for pre-order now, and if you log into ESO and kill any enemy before January 22 you will receive a promotional Long-Winged Bat pet as part of the announcement.
UESP Survey — January 03, 2020
The UESP is currently conducting a survey on how you can support the site, and you can win one of our 2020 calendars by filling it out!
We are, surprisingly frequently, asked by people if they can donate to support the UESP, and the answer to that has been, for many years, a gracious no. Some of them just want to support the site, some of them want to give back in return for blocking our ads, and some just wanted to be able to get their hands on the UESP's custom-made goods (like our calendars, shirts, and pins). After much thought, we think we can create a system that can satisfy all of those desires.
As of today, the UESP is supported by ads, but we are looking at options where we can allow users to disable them, while still being able to support the UESP. Of course, we would also like to give back to you directly if you were to support us, and we'd like to offer several different rewards to our users who would. While we are still considering options, some potential rewards are a special thank you page on the UESP, custom code to disable ads on the UESP, access to exclusive Discord roles and channels, and various goodies ranging from our calendar to clothing to figurines to flash drives.
By supporting the UESP, you will help cover our ever-rising server expenses, help pay the salary of our full-time team and even hire new ones, and develop new tools, apps, and content to support Elder Scrolls fans.
You can find the survey here, and thank you for keeping us as your source for The Elder Scrolls since 1995!
UESP Charity Drive — December 13, 2019
The UESP believes in giving back as much as we can, and in past years we have chosen to support numerous charitable organizations during the holiday season. This year is no different, but we want to do more. This year, we're asking for your help to do even more good than we could on our own. We've chosen to focus our efforts through Extra Life this year in their mission to support children's hospitals.
To help you do even more good, the UESP will match $1,000 dollars worth of donations. We're also going to be doing a number of giveaways available to donors, which will include some of our 2020 calendars.
You can donate directly here, and view our team page here. If you want details about the ongoing giveaways, you can find them during our livestreams on Twitch, along with details on our various social media channels.
