Bethesda.net Forums to Be Sunset

After many years of fostering a thoughtful and passionate community on the official Bethesda forums, we have made the decision to sunset the forums on Bethesda.net. When the forums first started on Bethsoft.com, they were a great place for everyone to discuss amazing games, share stories, and come together with similar interests. The forums have seen many changes over the years, and we’ve enjoyed seeing our community grow and evolve alongside Bethesda and all of our games. Now, though, with the numerous ways people are communicating, we feel the time is right to move away from the forums and chat with you where you prefer to be.

To continue our direct relationships with our communities, we will be moving our conversations from the Bethesda.net forums to our official Discord Servers. We will also continue to have our Community teams visible on Reddit and our social channels, and our Support team will be able to address your issues and concerns with the Help Portal. (Please note, this transition only affects the forums on Bethesda.net. For our ESO community, the ESO forums are operated separately and will remain as they are.)

TIMELINE

Starting on May 24, we will begin the process of closing the forums first by turning Categories to Read-Only. You will no longer be able to post on the forums, but you will have access to all your posts and see all Categories as you normally would. You will have 30 days to save any post contents you wish to keep once the forums are closed.

On July 6, we will start archiving smaller, less populated Categories. At this time, you will no longer be able to access these Categories. You will be able to continue conversations on our official Bethesda Discord Server and various game-related Servers.

We know many of you have been with our forums from the beginning and we are sure you have questions. We’ve put together a FAQ below to help answer some questions and will continue to add to it as new questions arise.

We look forward to continuing our conversations with you and sharing moments together in our Discord Servers.

Thank you for all the support and we’ll see you there!

FAQ

What are the official Discord Servers?

You can continue conversations on our official Discord Servers listed below:

Where can I report an issue I’m experiencing in-game?

We encourage you to enter a ticket via our Customer Support portal at help.bethesda.net.

Where can I submit feedback or suggestions?

We are always looking at feedback and suggestions placed within our Discord Servers and in places like Reddit within game subreddits or on social media.

Does this impact comments on Bethesda.net Mods?

Yes, mod comments are powered by the forums, and will also be shut down. Authors are encouraged to list their social channels or personal Discord server in their mod descriptions. This way, they can continue to engage with players in their preferred online spaces. General mod discussion is welcome on our official Discord servers.

Does this plan impact The Elder Scrolls Online official forums?

No. Only the Bethesda.net forums will be sunset. The Elder Scrolls Online forums will continue to operate and function as usual.
