Questions about ESO on Steam Sale

ROYTASTICx

Hello all,

So i have ESO for a while now, even before it came out on Steam. Now i saw there is the Gold Edition on sale today which is the main game + all DLC for 25 euro.
If i buy this on Steam, do i need to create a new account or can i just login to my excisting account and have all DLC on my account?

Thanks in advance.

per the support page, once you own a non-steam and steam version of the game it appears you can link your ESO account to steam and import that account. I believe these instructions are what you're looking for:

Thank you.

But what i actually meant was:

I have an eso account (non steam and with imperial edition) but now i saw the eso gold edition was on sale on steam.

So if i bought the entire gold pack on steam, is it possible to login with my excisting account ( the one with the imperial edition on it) but then also receive the gold upgrade?

Or do i need to create a new account as soon as i buy the gold edition on steam?

Sorry for not being that clear before.

So Imperial Edition and the DLC all link to your account. Once you link your existing ESO account with your Steam account, you should have access to the Imperial Edition on Steam and the DLC you bought with the Gold Edition.

However, if you go back and login to your ESO account through the game launcher (i.e. access your game without using Steam like you have in the past) I am not sure that the Gold Edition will be available. It might be, but I've just never tested this out.

I believe that once you link your account to Steam you cannot run ESO without Steam running. I've tried doing it.
