Also I don't know if it's intentional or not but on the PTS, if you don't own Solstice, you can still create a pre-made character that spawns in Solstice and quest there, to try out the new content.
This wasn't possible before, as you needed to own the season pass to try Solstice when it was in testing.
That actually convinced me to buy it as I was very skeptical.
Amazingly I'm playing ESO, because the update for EU ended earlier than expected, and within a reasonable time to get online!Also I don't know if it's intentional or not but on the PTS, if you don't own Solstice, you can still create a pre-made character that spawns in Solstice and quest there, to try out the new content.

That was possible before it was released as well. I didn't pre-order it and was able to go there on one of my existing characters, ride around the zone, look at the wall, visit the new house etc.

That's interesting. I just saw a message when I logged into PTS before it went live and it said "Upgrade to play Solstice content", I clicked no and just mucked around on test server as usual, but perhaps you're right and making a new premade character did take you there anyway. I must have mistaken the general "upgrade now" message for a PTS specific one.
That is kinda wild they let you play the story through for free..
