I don't think that any race/any alliance has been or is being offered again. I haven't seen it announced anywhere.

Just asked in game, and ppl who just bought the Standard Edition can't play any race in any alliance.
But there's no option to upgrade to "explorer pack" within the crown store (just checked on the pts).

So what's the deal here ? Newcommers won't have that option at all ??

Imperial Edition doesn't even seem to provide that ?

Nope.

You can still buy the EP from third-parties and ZOS have confirmed the codes work, but ZOS have said they have "no plans" to offer it again .. of course "no plans" is what was said about ESO being a B2P game so believe what you want, history will show how reliable "no plans" is ...

I hope they will never make it available at all.

You sure ? Because i remember ZoS saying it'll change in the future , about Subscription.

Not sure if I am reading wrong or if there is a misunderstanding of the "any race / any alliance" thing. First, the Imperial Edition unlocks only the Imperial race, which can be played in any alliance, not all races any alliance. EP was an exclusive pre order option that allowed any race any alliance game style. The Imperial Edition is going to be offered in the crown store and should allow Imperials to play any alliance. And according to forum chatter, Explorer's Pack is only offered through 3rd party and console pre order which allows the any race any alliance bonus. (No current plans to offer that other than through the pre order. I personally hope it stays that way, but time will tell)

I pre ordered and also bought the imperial upgrade... but i'm asking for the newcomers in march 17th.

I know none of u guys would ever consider playing a race that's not part of your alliance... And that no righteous mind would ever play a bosmer or khajiit nightblade outside the Aldmeri faction. [/sarc]

Right now your anwsers just fell like u can but sure don't want the newbies to have what u got.

Well so to be clear, my response above was speaking for just me. I want the Explorer to be exclusive because that how it was sold. So bonus for pre order.......okay never mind....seems like yet another slap in the face. Imperial edition, well if they pay for it, they should have it. So as long as the new players receive these items in the same way that they were offered to me, then they can get them. But please, don't ask me to do X, take my money, then go to the new player and say, "You too can join the club for the low, low price of $X.XX."

EP can still be obtained through third parties, so go and get it there. But to change the rules, just to appease some imagined new players who have contributed 0 to the game thus far, and may not even be here long enough to add anything at all to it, just would make ZOS the biggest sell out in history (IMO) and I would have to seriously rethink even playing this game for free knowing that the rug could/would be sold out from under me.

It isn't about not wanting the new players to have what I have, it is about them not getting without doing what I did. (And that applies to me and me alone for the opinion) People think that they can pay less for something and receive more seems more ludicrous a request than me saying no. PERIOD
