Morrowind: Beware if you game share!
As confirmed by many, many players, even though it was $40 and marketed as a separate game, this is NOT sharable. My wife can't play the content. This will by my very last purchase from Zos or Bethesda. They are now on my do not buy list along with Bungie. Time to cancel my plus membership I've had since day one. This company cares nothing about its players.

✭✭✭✭✭what is this "shareable" you speak of? account sharing is prohibited by the ESO ToS and is bannable.
its a pc game, complete with product key authenticated DRM
where have you been the last 20 years?
EDIT: ohhhhh are you playing on console? you can "share" the physical disk but you still need separate accounts.Edited by Rickter on June 6, 2017 2:27PMRickterESO

Rhoric✭✭✭✭✭Of course it is not shareable. DLCs are not shareable. ESO+ is not shareable. Crown Store items are not shareable. Did you really thing the expansion would be shareable also.39 -

✭For some reason people thought if they buy Morrowind they get an extra code for the base game which they can give away ("share").
It's simply included so a new player does not have to buy two games.Real stupidity beats artificial intelligence every time. ~ Terry Pratchett1 -
MrBetadine✭✭✭✭This just proves that Morrowind is a generic DLC instead of an expansion pack that 'has physical versions'Edited by MrBetadine on June 6, 2017 3:07PM18

By share you mean like the base game or you mean for only one of us? We can play at the same time I mean?Edited by Kay1 on June 6, 2017 3:42PMK1 The Big Monkey0 -

No it's not. The physical copy most likely comes with an authentication key that will be used to either upgrade your existing version, or be used a new account. You can't upgrade two with or something like that.

Shhh don't tell anyone, but many console players have multiple accounts to hide from people. Lol.
Also for the key - there are irl ways to get said key without purchase. I only had 1 copy of StarCraft when it came out, but had several accounts - though I'm not advocating such behavior

That's why I asked, it's always a code when you get the physical copy of a DLC or an Expansion.

Yes, Xbox accounts, but only one eso'. You can't play simultaneously with one eso account even if you got the game installed on two consoles.When the snows fall and the white winds blow,

Where was it ever marketed as a separate game? It has always been marketed as an "expansion" or "upgrade". You either upgrade your current account with the cheaper $40 option, or buy one of the $70-$130 versions that gives you the base game + Morrowind together.2 -

For Xbox we can't have the same account playing the same game at the same time. So I cannot log onto World of tanks as Shenronnacht on Xbox one then go to my Xbox 360 log on as Shenronnacht and then access WoT.
I can play ESO as Shenronnacht on Xbox one and also play WoT as Shenronnacht on Xbox 360.

So @NewBlacksmurf I would just love some confirmation (so I can stop doubting myself) if you get the physical copy, all accounts on a single Xbox one can play Morrowind yes?
I don't buy physical discs @Waffennacht so IF there is no code and instead a disc with Elder Scrolls Online and Morrowind access, sure.

No each account either from same PS4 or game sharing from non primary PS4 must have a code to enter in or bought digital on the account you want to play Morrowind on. There is no game sharing what so ever. Wife and kids and who ever else wants Morrowind has to have their own copy. So I'll have to spend $160 if everyone wants Morrowind in my family. Not going to happen. I'll wait for a big sale even if it takes a year for a steep discount. From what I've read and know about I'm not missing to much just a trial. If this is going to be the case for each chapter then ESO is not the game for me. I had enough of ESO just time to move on I guess.4
