Is a free respec coming?

I thought I read somewhere there was a free respec in 1.3, but can't seem to find it now. Can someone confirm, or deny?

    Didn't think it was with 1.3.
    They did say when they start moving from VR to Champion they would offer a free re-specs, and then cheaper ones (about 100g) for any subsequent re-specs due to skill-line changes.
    At least that's how I understood it

    Your first respec as of update 3, will be free. Then, for the remainder of the week update 3 is released, respecs will cost extremely cheap(100g total or something super low like that)

    Then the price will slowly increase to a more "balanced level" in the coming weeks when ZOS re-asses their plans of how respecing should cost/work. In addition, they will offer cheap economic alternatives when the price goes back up at a steady balanced rate. Ex: Pay full respec price for a clean sweep, or, pay just 100g to change one skill morph. So, if it's just morphs you want, you pay a small fee just to change skill morphs, per skill.

    Well if they go ahead with it around the time of update 5 then that's about 12 weeks away.
    Remember though, that they said it wouldn't all be happening at once. So by that I'm assuming they will phase in the changes over a period of time (but nothing has been said about a time-scale for that)

    That is the one I am waiting for. I have a couple of morphs where I went "Doh!!!" after making them. I miss my Clanfear.

    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    the horrible prices for respeccing are one of the reasons I quit.

    There was a time during PTS that they were costing about 80k gold. You should have felt lucky with your 20k respecs.

    The current respec costs on PTS are I believe 10g per skillpoint, which is much better than the current 100g per skillpoing cost.

    currently, the respec system on PTS is 1g per skill, i know this because you are getting charged 199g for 199 skill points... its actually been like this for a while now.

    this is vs the 100g per skill point on live.

    Well, that will be nice. That'll give me the opportunity to remorph items just to skill them up while doing VR content. I can re-respect back to ideal as needed. Seriously two orders of magnitude difference makes the cost negligible...will it scale with respecing more often.

    Respecs will cost 1g per skill and stat point refunded, so cheap but not free.

    I haven't quit, but I don't blame you. There are some other things that keep me playing, but I hate anything related to grind.
