TESNexus traffic soars 25% after Steam promotion
As a result TESNexus had its most popular weekend ever with back-to-back figures of 113,000 and 123,000 unique visitors achieved on Saturday and Sunday with a total of just over 300,000 files downloaded and 2.6 million page views. Registrations almost doubled from the usual number of 3,500 new members on a weekend to 6,100 new members as the influx of Oblivion players scrambled to mod their new game.
The optimistic part of me would like to assume the timing of this promotion on Steam, where Oblivion is being sold with the Shivering Isles and Knights of the Nine for £14.99 or with the two expansions plus all the DLCs for £19.99, is a precursor to the announcement of the sequel to Oblivion that is hopefully The Elder Scrolls V at E3 some time in the coming week.
Whatever way you look at it; the site held out. You've got to be thankful for that. I know I am, because I was away this weekend.

I second that emotion.
A fantastic community here at the Nexus, all the help and support in the world for modders and mod users new and old, thousands of mods to download whatever your flavour, screenshot sections to show your stunning images in, a forum full of helpfull friendly people to natter with and the backup of a solid, reliable and dependable team of moderators to keep everything ticking smoothly, and then theres Robin, aka Dark0ne, without whom none of us would be here on the Nexus, theres only one thing you can say to the guy, thanks man, you rock.
For me, the Nexus is the Eldar Scrolls, anyone care to second my emotion?
Damn, that bottles empty, now wheres me corkscrew?
But don't lose hope about a 2010 announcement yet.
Bethesda have said they don't like to announce games on E3, so wait till QuakeCon in August: Then you can jump into the sky in joy because of the TES V Announcement!
- Always been an optimist, and will always be!
right now would be a good time to announce tes 5, Bethesda... especially since you hooked quiiiite a few people since this whole steam thing..
You make beautiful rpg's.. that, when i play, i almost cry out of sheer happiness, i almost smell the wine, wood, and blood, musk, and rotting corpses in battle.. i almost feel the heavy armor clank around my body.. i almost feel the pain when i get hit or the flames or the frost...
please bethesda. ot's a beautiful series you're making... don't let it go to waste... and this time... don't do it for money.. do it for tamriel! immersion! gameplay! content! and make us fans, and yourselves proud!
And I guess it'll go exactly like that too..
And thanks for the heads-up Dark.
