Yes, during the special edition of "ESO Live!" with Paul Sage and Matt Firor that aired a couple of hours ago they said 1.6 is scheduled for the PTS next week.

What I took from what they said is update 6 may be rolled out before the March B2P date, but the cash shot would just be disabled until March.1 -
pvpaddict42✭✭✭Stupid on their part not to have released it on PTS and gotten some people to try it out, see the changes before making this announcement about the pay model change. Now they are going to lose a lot of people that won't even look at the new changes because of their "outrage". Dumb move on your part Zenimax, should have waited.3

How could they have possibly put it on PTS without people realizing they are changing the pay model? "1.6 is on PTS! Please pretend you don't see that 'Crown Shop' tab!"2 -

HAHA! Which even if you didn't see the Crown shop, what would be the point in letting them try said Crown shop?

Amsel_McKay✭✭✭✭✭They have had 1.6 ready for months... they just waited to announce the F2P version of the game to keep people interested. Then they added the super 1 time 1 year award to keep people subbed when they know the game is free in 2 months.0 -

People who cancel their sub can continue playing until the sub is finished. They can and most likely will come back after their vent session and see the changes that were made.
As for the question about if we'll see the shop on PTS. No, it will be disabled. Much of the March features won't be in since they're minor. PTS will be testing 1.6 which is a massive overhaul.0 -

You're assuming that had to go in with the 1.6 update on PTS. They could easily have added that in on a 1.6.1 or 1.6.2 update after a couple of weeks on the PTS. They have added in features before on PTS updates, they could have done so here as well.0 -

1.6 has all the new "unlimited" labels etc. There is no way to publish it and test without having the crown store in there. Thats why they refused to publish it to the test server until they announced this stuff. Its been ready all month just they couldnt publish it until now.1 -

Yes, they can continue to play until their sub is finished, some people will. Some people that claim to leave will come back after they cool off. A good number of them that cancel in anger will never look back. It happens ALL THE TIME. It was a mistake on the part of Zenimax to announce this now instead of waiting a couple of more weeks. It's not like waiting 2 or 3 more weeks to announce it was going to hurt the players any more than it currently did. At least that way players would have seen or heard exactly what the 1.6 changes were before they got slammed with the pay model announcement. Now they will simply lose players that they might have retained had they waited a bit.0 -

Which probably also means we won't see it live till march. Bummer.

While I wish that was true I doubt it. I would guess we see it live in late feb sometime with the store disabled until March.0 -

✭What is with the 'if you're still around'? Some of us have been impatiently waiting for 1.6 to show on the PTS since November. That is BEFORE the B2P announcement and BEFORE they confirmed the Champion System and the Justice System. It is with these last two systems that it is more imperative to play test it.

But those players they lose don't matter - because they are existing, sub members and the ones who would unlikely be wasting money in a cash store. So the fact they leave is not relevant as all the new B2Pers who like cash stores is where their money is at2
