    Has this been verified or just a guess??

    I do have to say, it's extremely odd that they're doing special 'maintenance' all on the same day... normally PC maintenance is on Monday... so sounds like something is in the works.

    1. It's bait to get others to buy Morrowind, not a gift.
    2. You seem to have been triggered, did someone take your precious?

    You seem to have confused ( as many do ) a marketing strategy by a corporation as a sign of good will from a benevolent benefactor. It's nice that those who already have Morrowind don't have to buy the mount, but they are not the target of this action.

    Noone at ZOS said "Hey, let's just hand out a free mount!".

    No, ZOS marketing department said "Hey, hand out a time limited free mount to get more people to buy Morrowind.".

    Hint: Nothing is free if you have to buy, or have bought, something to get it.

    Awesome news! :) I missed out on a kagouti and while I love my guar, am feeling another Morrowind-themed mount would be perfect right now. Time to roll a Buoyant Armiger and ride into battle upon the back of a mighty Nix-Ox. Not as mighty as The Strongest Nix-Ox from Almalexia's Fables, though. He was a silly Nix-Ox.

    Yeah the fact that they’re waiting to give it out so people who don’t have Morrowind can get it says it all. I don’t want to make it a “damned if you do, damned if you don’t” thing, but it’s kind of like getting a gift from your crush, then later finding out it was only to make their ex jealous. It’s still appreciated, but let’s not pretend this was done out of the kindness of their hearts. It’s a promotional tactic. I’m not criticizing them for it, though. At least it’s not another lazy reskin.

    So what? It’s free to those who own or buy morrowind. Free gift with purchase. Do you live under such a big rock that you don’t know what a promotion is or what a free gift with purchase is?

    So damned what if they are saying here have this free thing if you bought/buy something!

    Love to see you at the grocery store xD ‘These buy one get one free Doritos aren’t free because I (well, my Mom!) has to buy one to get the free one!

    The bassilisk pet was a gift, the mount is not.

    The mount is a gift for anyone that already owns Morrowind. I didn't buy it at release thinking "I know ZOS will give me a free mount in November."

    The only condition is that I have to login. I think I can live with that. As already noted they could have only offered to new purchases. Fortunately they didn't.

    And if it encourages some to buy Morrowind good for ZOS. I doubt anyone will buy just for the mount but it might push some to buy it if they were on the fence about buying it.
