Then, more recently, because of One Tamriel, they said not every quarterly update will be DLC.
Next update isn't a DLC as well. But I hope that after housing we get Vvardenfell, which can be even bigger than Orsinium.
P.S. Can someone PM me what games are you talking about, please? I found out I'm pretty bad at googling

I still have hopes that Vvardenfell will be a full-fledged expansion pack.
I know that, from my replies when people read Crown Crates threads, it might seem that I am jumping ship. By I am not, I am pretty much tying myself to the ship's mast and yelling at the fish.

Expansion packs are an outdated system these days. Seems only Blizzard is hanging on to them while everyone else moves to digital distribution and DLC.

It would be kinda nice to celebrate Morrowind's 15th year, though
I mean, it doesn't have to be something that ZOS does all the time. Just once in a while. Besides, I want the Warden class to be introduced, and I imagine that a new class is too big of a deal to be put in a regular DLC.
I mean look at Steam stats, ESO is doing great after 1T and Free Weekend.

"If we can get this many players in a weekend and maybe some of those players will stump up for a crate or two then how many players could we get buying crates if we drop the box price altogether?" - perhaps?
The casual player is a less informed player, less likely to be concerned with long term performance and balance issues, less likely to care when the next new content is, still just as likely to spend.
What they do not understand is how vital a healthy community is to Tamriel. Khajiit left Middle Earth in another lifetime long ago. It was not just stat tomes in the store or loot boxes that paved the way for the departure of this one. It was also the gradual loss of a long standing community who gradually left because of things like loot boxes. When the friends were no longer there then it was no longer the same place to be.

LOL. ANYTHING offered for free will 'do great'
Was the registration actually open for everyone during the free weekend? The contest rules don't mention any changes, temporary or otherwise, to the list of eligible countries, so I assumed the free weekend entry was available only as long as you meet all other criteria as well.SantieClaws wrote: »Khajiit she would assume that free weekend it was perhaps a testing ground for F2P.
I don't think so. I think it was to assure that more states could legally participate on the contest thing they are having.
They did the same for the 1 million dollars one. Some places don't allow any sort of lottery that has a mandatory entry price, and the box price could be considered to be a mandatory entry price. They open it for everybody for free for a weekend, and the illegality is gone and they get some advertising. It's clever, in my opinion.

Alright, I see what you mean. The states that remained excluded (Florida, New York, Rhode Island) have regulations about the value of prizes, so a free weekend wouldn't change anything - but it's possible that what you describe happened in some of the others.Was the registration actually open for everyone during the free weekend?

They didn't change the list, but here's what they said on the Free Play announcement article:
"More great news – playing ESO during the Free Play Weekend also qualifies you to enter our One Tamriel “Trip of a Lifetime" sweepstakes!"
Yeah, the free weekend entry was available as long as you meet the other criteria, you just didn't have to buy the game to participate on it. They put the states where there is this restriction among the eligible ones since the beginning, and then made the free weekend later. If any legal issue arises they can say that people on that state that participated on the sweepstakes bought the game because they wanted to, since they had a free weekend during which they could enter the contest without buying the game.
I'm not well-versed on the USA laws and regulations, but this is the kind of thing that I can totally see a lawyer telling ZOS to do to avoid legal issues.

They're almost guaranteed to be in the crates. They're a set just like the Atronach mounts and they were datamined two Halloweens ago, so if they haven't been released yet, what else could they possibly be held back for?If Dwemer and Skeleton mounts are only available through Crown Crates I think my soul is going to shrivel a little. Or a lot.
I don't remember the Dwemer ones. I do remember a Wild Hunt set though, so there's another crate theme.They're almost guaranteed to be in the crates.

That's the source of my signature comment.If the bland camel for Black Fredas was any indication of what sort of things we can buy directly....
The main problem with the white camel was not the camel, but all the junk that came with it. I would have paid 1900 Crowns for the camel without the extra stuff. I didn't buy it because I did not know what I would do with that extra junk. All those poisons? Sheesh.
I buy stuff from the Crown Store, but November was just pitiful in this respect. Hopefully they saved everything for December, and they left something for us non-premium buyers who don't do Crown Crates.
