Does a major update have to include DLC? If that is the case are we waiting until sometime in Q1 of next year or will we have a NMU sometime in December?

    Q1 Thieves Guild.

    Expansion is still a better word than DLC, but yeah it'll be Quarter 1 when we get the next major update.

    Does that mean January or March? 1 month vs 4 months is a big deal with all the current issues.

    I think the answer is "Yes." Between January and March, inclusive. Big deal or not, that is all we get until they announce the date.

    So @ZOS_GinaBruno, when are we going to start hearing more about Thieves' Guild? It was about two months for IC to Orsinium, will we get more info on new sets, maybe even some sneak peeks on ESO Live soon? :).

    Are you guys planning to issue a expansion pack, a big content that enough to keep us busy for 6 months? lol

    I don't speak for anyone, but I would imagine that with an update to content every quarter there's almost no need for the traditional expansion (unless of course it would go back and totally change the base game).

    I quote from an interview between MMORPG.com and Game Director Matt Firor:

    MMORPG: Do you think ZOS will ever do a typical sort of “expansion” with multiple zones and new features?

    Matt Firor: Never say never, but we really like our quarterly DLC cadence, which lets us slip in both new content and quality of life fixes and updates and get them to customers much faster than waiting for an annual expansion.

    I thought I'd read that too, but I couldn't remember.

    Ok thanks, so for fixes and ability changes that state "will be in the next major update" we have to wait until sometime in Q1? Also, I thought that skills and abilities were going to be looked at in January (at least that was the comment to DK's a month or so ago), is this also going into the Thieves Guild?

    The thieves guild is another faction, similar to joining the fighters or mages guild that has its own storyline. Previous elder scroll games had it and from what I remember was a great story with fun quests and items that went with it. I'm pretty excited to see it implemented in eso.

    Skyrim didn't have the Fighter's Guild and Mage's Guild though. Instead they had the Companions in Whiterun (Werewolf bit is part of this) and the College of Winterhold.
