Zenimax Online Studios president and The Elder Scrolls Online director Matt Firor has posted new state-of-the-game style blog for the recently launched MMORPG, apologising for some of the early downtime, offering compensation in the form of five free days for subscribers, and going on to outline some of the planned upcoming features and content.

Firor describes the following list as being in "active development", but notes that they don't yet know specifically which upcoming patch update each will be included in:

• A system that allows grouped players to see each other even when they’re in different phases
