A pretty interesting piece of gaming history is coming up for grabs. Bethesda is retiring one of the original server blades from The Elder Scrolls Online, and they’re turning it into a commemorative item.
Sorry: Elder Scrolls Online server RAM?!
Yes, really. We’ve seen some unusual merch over the years — such as albums released on Mega Drive carts — and this is up there with the most jawdropping.
They’ve taken a piece of the server’s RAM—the actual memory that helped run the game—and encased it in a presentation box, alongside a plaque honoring the ESO community. It’s a tangible link to the game’s early days, for those of you who’ve been around since launch, or have a general interest in gaming hardware.
What else is included? You get the server memory itself, set in a velvet-lined display box, a commemorative plaque, and a certificate of authenticity. It’s a limited run—only 2,000 units—so it’s aimed at collectors. The dimensions are roughly 10 x 8 inches, and the materials include an MDF frame with antique gold plating.
