Elder Scrolls Online Is Adding A Moving Ship Player Home

The Elder Scrolls Online is finally adding a moveable ship player home, using some clever trickery to make it feel real. Rather than the boat physically sailing along a path, the environment around it will move, and if you hop off the ship at any point, you'll be left behind as you're carried away by the water.

"Fair Winds [is a] player house that's something we've never done before, it's a literal moving ship." lead community manager Jessica Folsom said.

It will come out sometime after the launch on Necrom, but you can check it out on the PTS next week."

This is something fans have long wanted, but given that ESO is nearly ten years old (meaning it runs on an older engine) and only just managed to add moving boats to the background with High Isle, it seemed like a pipe dream. Using some of that aforementioned clever trickery, it's now possible, and fans over on the subreddit are just as ecstatic.

Those Ornaugs Folsom mentioned are lizard-like dogs, often pets to the Dreadsail pirates. If you can see them, you probably wanna steer clear - there might be a raiding party not far behind. Luckily, player homes tend to be safe, so you probably won't get bombarded and robbed by a bunch of angry Maormer. Probably.

There is one worry fans have though - the cost. Expensive player homes can vary from 6,200 to 15,000 Crowns, which if we're talking about bundles, would equal £74.99 to £109.99 (the 14,000 and 21,000 Crown packs,
