Didn't purchase Morrowind - Sick of Morrowind Load Screens and Advertising

I'm getting pretty tired of starting my game and all I see is Morrowind this and Morrowind that. I may eventually purchase this, but I haven't yet. All the same, everything about the load screens suggest I already own it.

    I feel ya OP. Although I purchased Morrowind on just my main account the ads are very intrusive on my other accounts.

    You can be annoyed, but can you really blame ZOS for advertising their own expansion? This game is buy-to-play, after all.

    You should really consider buying the expansion, if only to support the game.

    It's common practice for ALL advertising. Seriously, WTF OP? Just because you didn't buy the expansion, no one should see it on their load screen? Or do you feel that you should have a special load screen just for you?

    If it makes you feel any better, it is just as annoying after you own it.

    Eh, I've got too many other stresses in life to be bothered by what's on my loading screen. That's small stuff.

    No I don't want special load screens. I want the load screens that were there BEFORE Morrowind. They belong there. Not this advertising crap for something I have yet to purchase.

    And while I'm at it, get that stupid "Buy Now" crap off my character screen. It's tacky.

    My login screen says "The Elder Scrolls Online Morrowind"

    The Announcements say "Welcome to Elder Scrolls Online :Morrowind and patch 3.0.10 on the NA PC/Mac Megaserver"

    The rolling artwork on the login screen is not for the game I own.

    So for those of you giving me the WTF...how about that? Sounds like a WTF to me.

    Well now that you've gotten that off your chest, lets do some comedy and perhaps brighten your mood.

    I was in a bar last week joshing with some friends and there was this one woman who was giving me the eye. I started a pretty casual conversation which, after while she changes mood completely and yells, "No, I won't sleep with you tonight, you pig!"

    Everyone in the bar stopped and stared at us.

    Completely embarrassed, I kinda slink back to my drink and look my buddies who dont say anything just take a drink.

    After a few minutes, she comes over and apologizes.

    She says to me "I'm sorry if I embarrassed you. I'm a graduate student in psychology, and I'm studying how people respond to embarrassing public situations."

    To which I respond as loudly as possible, "What do you mean $200 for a BJ?"

    Morrowind is actually on your computer and in your files. You just don't have access to it because you haven't paid for it. :p

    "And it's important to state that our decision to go with subscriptions is not a referendum on online game revenue models. F2P, B2P, etc. are valid, proven business models - but subscription is the one that fits ESO the best, given our commitment to freedom of gameplay, quality and long-term content delivery. Plus, players will appreciate not having to worry about being "monetized" in the middle of playing the game, which is definitely a problem that is cropping up more and more in online gaming these days. The fact that the word "monetized" exists points to the heart of the issue for us: We don't want the player to worry about which parts of the game to pay for - with our system, they get it all."

    Morrowind along with its patches updates affect the base game as well you swit whether you own it is not. You will see people with morrowind gear and rewards it's just you can't acess it but you have morrowind downloaded you just havnt unlocked it yet.
