ESO: Morrowind Early Access Event for PC/Mac Physical Collector’s Edition

ZOS_GinaBruno

Today, we announced the ESO: Morrowind early access event beginning on May 22. If you are an existing ESO player who has pre-ordered or pre-purchased the physical ESO: Morrowind Collector’s Edition for PC/Mac, you will be able to join the early access event by following a few simple steps. We encourage you to go through these steps starting today to ensure you have access on May 22.

1. Visit the ESO Support Portal and log in.
2. Once logged into the ESO Support Portal, fill out the Early Access entry form. You will need to provide proof of pre-order or pre-purchase for your physical PC/Mac ESO: Morrowind Collector’s Edition.
3. Our Support team will grant your account access to ESO: Morrowind, allowing you to join the early access event starting on May 22.
4. On launch day, when you receive your physical PC/Mac ESO: Morrowind Collector’s Edition, you will need to enter the included code to get your Digital Collector’s Edition items and pre-order rewards (the Discovery Pack.)
5. If you do not apply the code included with your physical PC/Mac ESO: Morrowind Collector’s Edition within two days of launch, we will send an email alerting you that you will lose access to the ESO: Morrowind content within 24 hours. So please apply the code when you pick up your physical PC/Mac ESO: Morrowind Collector’s Edition!

If you have additional questions, please see our Support Portal knowledge base for details.

Read the article in the OP

Due to the time needed for certification of the PlayStation and Xbox One ESO: Morrowind clients, we are not able to offer early access for our console players. We look forward to seeing you on June 6!

smh

Sorry but I can't imagine this was a spur of a moment thing. They could of idk planned to get the certification done before this happens.

which means they would have to have it ready earlier, which in turn meant they could have released it even earlier for pc and have a shorter pts window....

YYYYEEEEEEAAAAAHHHHHHHH!

This means no NDA right?!?

RIP. I only put a deposit because that's the only way I could do it. This sucks. Hype dead. Looks like they scrapped the paid in full part!

Rouven

Awesome!

So a pdf copy of the confirmation email re pre-order collectors edition will work? Can't really go through the steps right now.

Once Early Access begins, the NDA will be lifted.

They cannot begin certification until they have the final game code in place that will be going to Sony/Microsoft. With patches and changes still going into PTS, that final code does not exist. Certification is not just some mindless, bureaucratic, red-tape paperwork required by Sony/MS. Sony/MS actually scan and investigate code for viruses, trojan horses, loopholes, etc. If Morrowind code has some backdoor in it to let people steal console gamer credit card numbers, Sony/MS are gonna take the heat for that. So they cannot pre-certify for fear that unscrupulous developers will pre-certify a clean version, then add malicious code after that and send it to console live servers.

@ZOS_GinaBruno the article will confuse and trigger a lot of people.

In the first paragraph you only mention DIGITAL edition, so all those phyiscal dudes gonna get triggered and prolly will not read any further lol

Ye I know it says that physical copie boys also get access, but it should be mentioned at the start along with the digital edition

Kerioko

Does this mean all base game sustain nerfs go live on May 22, or are just those who pre-ordered getting nerfed two weeks early?

Serensiel

regarding steam players? do we have to attach the photo screenshot for it to be basis of proof?

ZOS_GinaBruno

The base game will also be going live for PC players on 5/22.

There are online stores that sell Morrowind Digital Upgrade (non-collector, non-physical) and also hold registration key until release date in June.
Do those players (who bought only Morrowind Digital Upgrade but wont get their key until June) will be given early-access after using the form?

doublestuffed

How many bugs should I be expecting with this release? This is something that will make me consider preordering.

So if you ordered online and only have a digital invoice, how can you sign it ?

No, this form is only for Physical CEs.

If I interpret this correctly it sounds like this will apply to me as well.

@Rouven Yeah I noticed on the one page it says the receipt must indicate it's paid in full. EB Games here only allowed me to put down a deposit since I chose in store pickup. I'm currently debating ways of getting around this, but it's a bit harder because I don't know if the code is all-in-one or not. I may need to purchase the digital collectors upgrade and then.. *ehem* give away the code from my collectors edition.

What I did was a printed my invoice, took a sharpie marker and signed very clearly on my printed invoice, then I scanned the signed invoice to my computer. If you don't have a document scanner I am not sure what you can do.

This immediately sprung to my mind also and I can only imagine the answer is yes.

Maybe Gina will confirm ?

Take a picture with your phone!

So I bought my copy on Amazon, I assume a physically printed and signed receipt is required to apply for early access via the form?

BigBragg

I am guessing it is covered, but just making sure. Steam orders with linked accounts won't need to contact support?

As a Console player I just feel the need to say that being a console peasant sucks.

PapaSlatch

If you're gonna continue to treat console like the red headed step child, that's fine. Let me just say, if you never plan to do anything else ever for console, at least fix the trials. 3 months of lost progression in vMoL on Xbox is unacceptable.
