    So if ESO Plus no longer gives us automatic access to new DLC, what is the point of it beyond cosmetic additions from the crown store?

    This isn't a DLC though, this is a expansion pack. That's why it's not in the store.

    Not sure how to word it for it to make sense but...ESO:Morrowind is not a DLC, therefore, not a part of what ESO+ grants you. It's an Expansion, like how you have to buy expansions in Sims to have dogs and cats. Hopefully that means it is bigger than the DLCs.

    Politely correct me if I am wrong. It IS confusing

    If we already own the game but want to purchase the Collector's Edition of the Morrowind expansion, will that still work the same as just upgrading? The Collector's Edition comes with the full game + expansion, so just install the new Morrowind version of the game (uninstall old version?) and I am good to go? @ZOS_GinaBruno

    Any idea on what the file size for this will be? I'm debating on downloading it but if the file size is way to large, will have to get the physical copy.

    I'd love to get the collectors edition and be able to get the stuff with it, what would happen to my version of ESO (purchased from Amazon) if I bought the collectors edition? I know it comes with it but I'd like to be able to get the journal as well.

    Will Warden be available in the base game as well? Any chance of character slot expansions if so?

    Would I be able to get this game yet still play with my other friends that do not have the Morrowind expansion? I know you can go from Morrowind into Tamriel from what I recall from the livestream so that made me curious.

    Sorry for the barrage of questions but best to ask'em now then wait a bit. XD


    I made a thread with these questions (minus some edits/removals), sadly it seems to have gotten buried so will just post'em here in hopes that some of them may be answered.

    Interested in how this works as well. I already own ESO and I want the Collectors Edition to recieve the Statue, Journal, Box, etc. Will I be able to apply the CE to my current account or will I have to buy both the CE and an upgrade to my current account?

    That is a good question, are we adding to our current installation if we have it, or completely replacing it?

    I don't think this is a DLC for ESO1T, it's a completely different (new) ESO game.

    @ZOS_GinaBruno, can you confirm or further explain this? I think many people are struggling with the concepts of 1) Is this an integration to ESO1T (a non-free DLC) or 2) Is it a separate game all together that simply allows access to your existing characters?

    If it functions as an integrated DLC, I somewhat agree with davidb16_ESO7 that this feels like a brush off to Plus members as they are used to new content being available to them and will leave us wondering if we will no longer get DLCs after Homestead and are simply paying you money for crowns and a material craft bag - which we do value, by the way; I'm just not sure how that value will correspond to saving our memberships.

    However, If it is a separate game, are there any other integrations to the "base game," such as you can do anything and go anywhere as you would in ESO1T, you're on the same servers with the same users and guilds, etc?

    Clarity on the integration or non-integration would be greatly appreciated. It does look like a stunning game to get - but it leaves us with questions.

    Thanks!

    @ZOS_GinaBruno Will there be a pre-order option for Aus? Particularly EB games. At a glance I notice that I have the option to buy the collectors edition on amazon to post to Aus. Unsure if that will actually work. It would be good to know I have options.

    Will the PC physical Collector's Edition have a download code for Morrowind and all the bonus content? I'm not going to buy a CD drive just for a collector's edition. Also, since the physical CE is the only one not listed in the ESO store, will we have to wait until it physically arrives from the retailer before we can play the new content?

    Questions for a twitter friend:

    Are all the "PC" editions good to go for Mac? (Digital editions as well as phyical CE) I'm guessing it's just a code that applies to your account so you can download either Windows or Mac version.. but Amazon is reporting it as a game for Windows 7/8 - so friend wasn't sure.

    So in case anyone's interested, I collated the prices announced so far:

    Morrowind® Digital upgrades for existing ESO players are:
    US $40 for normal Morrowind and $60 for the Collectors' Edition.
    GBP £29.99 for normal and £49.99 for Collectors' Edition.
    EUR €39.99 for normal and €69.99 for Collectors' Edition.
    CAD $49.99 for normal and $79.99 for Collectors' Edition.
    AUD $59.95 for normal and $89.95 for Collectors' Edition.

    Morrowind® Digital Edition for players who don't already own Elder Scrolls Online are:
    US $59.99 for normal and $79.99 Collectors' Edition.
    GBP £39.99 for normal and £64.99 for Collectors' Edition.
    EUR €59.99 for normal and €79.99 for Collectors' Edition.
    CAD $79.99 for normal and $109.99 for Collectors' Edition.
    AUD $89.95 for normal and $114.95 for Collectors' Edition.

    These are the DIGITAL prices. The physical edition, with statue and book, will of course cost more. It's apparently US $100 on the Bethesda store right now, but who knows how much it'll be in other currencies.

    Choose "Digital Collectors Edition Upgrade" then "Playstation Store" and you get an error page on elderscrollsonline

    The Amazon option isn't much better.

    You have until Morrowind goes live on June 6, though physical Collector's Editions (being a physical product) are as supplies last.

    Yes. just imagine it as a DLC. Zenimax introduced the term expansion/new chapter to underline it's importance and size.
    It works like any DLC but is just bigger and better.
    And has to be payed outside of the Crowns Eso+ system

    Love the reveal today. My question is I have 12 max characters with horse and bag space leveled. So deleting a character seems to be drastic and unecessary. Will there be a way to get another character slot or two? Hate to not have a warden especially if it adds new game play elements.

    My question is this: If I already own ESO: TU and order the physical Collector's edition, will I be able to add the expansion to my existing account? If so, will I be able to use the included version of the base game as a 2nd account with no access to Morrowind.
    So basically I want to know, if I can split the base game and the Morrowind expansion from the physical Collector's edition.

    A few things

    If i want to buy the physical collectors edition but i already own the game, will this work? Extension to this question, will there be a cheaper version of the physica collectors edition without the base game included for veteran players and TES hardcore fans?

    Second thing. If i were to cancel my ESO+ subscription, will i be able to keep my dlc? Ir will i have to purchase it?

    Third, a long time ago, when zeni was just starting to tease their dlc, we saw a small clip labled something along the lines of clockwork city (which i believe is in morrowind. Will this be in the expansion pack??? If anyone knows...

    Thank you, ZOS, for new zone and content. I'm sure it will be fun. Just please do something about achievements or class changes for those who's been playing for a while and couldn't main Warden and progress on it. Don't make them do all achievements again.

    p.s. I had a question here, but I've found the answer after I actually read the thread.
