    Hey Gina! Thanks for the thread. Any chance we are getting a class change token and/or more purchasable character slots with the addition of the Warden?
    Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

    Meet my characters:
    Command: Do the thing.

    Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
    Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
    Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
    Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
    Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
    Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
    Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
    Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
    Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
    Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.

    That part likely means you can play it with your current character or create a new one.

    I wonder if "30 hours" is based on the average time it takes to listen to the quest dialog, or based on the average MMO player facerolling content? :)

    I would have thought that already. Why are they telling me this? It sounds like a port situation.

    What does subscription cover after purchasing the new game ? Will there be Marrowind DLC's or are DLC's gone from the game now ? If there are future Marrowind DLC's will subscription cover those ?

    I'd like to play with my current character's level and achievements, but as the Warden class. I wish they had released such a class back when the game came out.

    This, I think, is happening. You can change classes already with a crown purchase.

    I am trying to think of an MMO that has let you just respec to a new class on release and I cannot think of one. Particularly an MMO that does not have class respecs already.

    Am I the only one cringing by the fact they named it Morrowind? They should have called it Vvardenfell to distinguish it from the single-player game, which would have been more accurate anyway.

    I think it has more to do with how they're advertising it. It almost looks like a new game when it's actually a really big expansion. I'm pretty sure it has to do with clarity.

    Question:

    If someone choose not to buy the expansion... but they do subscribe....

    will they still get access to future DLC's?

    I noticed that the Warden switched from a 2h sword to a 1 hand sword with a spell in hand? Is there going to be some type of spell blade skill line or was that purely just artsy fluff from the trailer?

    Couple of questions copied over from another thread.

    Do you know who the Physical Collectors Edition retailers are for the UK yet?

    If we're buying a physical addition will we have access to the new content on launch via pre-order codes and a grace period to activate full game codes (like original launch) should our suppliers mess up with delivery times?

    @ZOS_GinaBruno so I'm at work now but want to make sure I am understanding clearly. Will we be able to freely take our current characters to"morrowind" and back? Or is it a once there you're always there kind of thing?

    @Rohamad_Ali I imagine it's like current DLC's. Just another border on the map that you may or may not be allowed to walk past.

    Warden class sounds very interesting, including the dedicated healing and tanking tree. My only concern is that EVERYBODY will be playing a Warden unless the developers add something new to the old classes.

    I wondered about that too. My conclusion was that they probably did it on purpose to capitalize on the Morrowind anniversary this year and the general fan nostalgia for the original game.

    I'm just really confused as to what Subscriptions do now for content unlock . I'll try to rephrase . If I keep ESO plus , that's suppose to give access to all DLC content , but don't buy Marrowind and a DLC comes out inside Marrowind area , do I get to go to that area still and do content ? Or do I have to buy Marrowind no matter what ?

    You can go to Morrowind with your current character whenever you'd like (starting June 6, that is) and you can leave and go to other zones freely as well, just like any other zone.
