ESO: Gold Edition Question

Hi,
I'm wondering, can I still buy the gold edition even though I already own the game? I'm pretty sure the gold edition comes with the game + all the dlcs. I don't have a single dlc so I want to get it in a bundle (maybe a little cheaper than buying all four seperatly).
Thanks

    If you buy the gold edition, this is not for your current account, but for a new one - you cannot add all DLCs to your current account by buying this edition. But Rich said, that there might be a bundle coming out in future where you can add those to your current account, but not with the gold edition. The gold edition is primarily for new players to "keep up" with the game in an easy way.

    I would suggest to subscribe to ESO+ for as long as is required to save up the crowns to buy all those DLCs you want - you might like ESO+ when you are actually experiencing it and the urge to buy DLCs might go away - which would allow you access to any DLC which will be coming out in future - but you have choice this way. If you do not want to continue with ESO+ you can buy those DLCs you want with the crowns saved from having been an ESO+ member. But honestly, I doubt that you will want to unsubscribe once you have experienced ESO+ - the crafting bag alone is totally worth it, but there is even more.

    I might go with the 180 day one but I should finish the main story first, I'm only lvl 16 and 6 XD. Thanks for the advise.

    Someone mentioned they said in the last live that a dlc bundle will be in the crown store at some point... I didn't watch so not completely sure.

    Personally I'm waiting to see if they put out that upgrade bundle Lysette mentioned. I'm in the same situation as you only own the base game with no expansions, and not subbed.

    By the way, there is a reason I never played ESO before the game went retail (no subscription required.). Unless ESO+ gives you way more crowns than buying them directly, I would rather buy the expansions out-right and not have to worry about anymore payments afterwords after that.

    The money I'm not spending on a sub is more important to me than the benefits of a sub. Though I would think about buying those craft material bags, but it seems they are using those as a sub benefit. Gotta keep something away from those non-subs right... :/

    If you are into crafting, that crafting bag coming with ESO+ is awesome, makes things so much easier and you have a lot of free space in your inventory as well - but if you are not that much into crafting, then take your time.

    Hm, I think Rich said this in a web cast, not so sure that it was mentioned in the live show.

    I'm quite sure I've seen mention of a DLC bundle data-mined already, so we know it's coming.
