Online:Patch/2.2.3

The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited v2.2.3 is the last incremental patch to the PTS before we publish the Orsinium DLC game pack to the PC/Mac live megaservers. We have made several fixes to quests in Wrothgar, Maelstrom Arena, gameplay, and UI. We will also be copying all European megaserver characters again for this patch, which is approximately 6.7GB in size. Read on for all the details!
