    Yes. You only get morrowind free with summerset until summerset goes live. After that you'll have to buy it separate again.

    Actually it kind of gives me a bit of incentive to update my Xbox account, It still has the Imperial edition that I have barely even touched but I bought it on release to get the limited time character copy. I also got the PS4 copy and I still haven't bought a PS4.

    It makes it easier for brand new players to get into the game and be able to get up to the latest release.

    Wow does it as well and that game had how many releases over 14 years ?

    It becomes cost prohibitive to getting new players into the game if they have to purchase the base game and then each chapter up to the current one.

    Doesn't bother me one bit because that's the way MMO's are rolling today.

    I like to buy and play current content.

    If you are upset over this then you now know the trend so don't buy Summerset when it comes out. Wait.

    It's a limited time promotion to get people to preorder Summerset and a pretty good one at that. I'm not in the least bit upset - in fact, it's pretty great because I've already convinced one friend who still hadn't gotten Morrowind to hop on board this one because it's basically a two-for-one deal. Gotta give props to ZOS for doing a good job on this.

    If this means everyone will have the ability to get the previous chapters when buying the latest one instead of having to buy for each individual chapter then this is a good thing.

    MMOs get prohibitively expensive once you add up all the DLC and Expansions over time.

    Yes. You only get morrowind free with summerset until summerset goes live. After that you'll have to buy it separate again.

    Pretty sure that just means the offer of per-purchasing is only available for a limited time. Everywhere else they talk about it, it doesn't say anything about only having Morrowind chapter for a limited time. This is also from the website, for example:

    *The Morrowind Chapter is included with a digital pre-purchase of The Elder Scrolls Online: Summerset, The Elder Scrolls Online: Summerset Digital Collector's Edition, The Elder Scrolls Online: Summerset Upgrade, and The Elder Scrolls Online: Summerset Digital Collector's Edition Upgrade. Note that this offer is only valid for players who do not already own the Morrowind Chapter. Offer available until June 12, 2018 at 11:59 p.m. EDT.

    I think it could be fair play to adopt a different pricing for Morrowind owners upgrade (Collector upgrade for the price of the normal upgrade perhaps), or, if technically to complicated, give special bonus to them.

    This gives a slightly bitter taste to this announce, but, it's a bit usual with ZOS

    It doesn't bother me really, I've already pre-ordered it twice anyway :)

    I'll always pre-order the new chapters....can't wait another 12 months before 'possibly' getting Summerset Isles 'free' lol
    Hopefully it draws more players into the game, always a good thing :)

    Maybe because people whinge it is 'just another DLC' in their eyes, next year you may get this Chapter free :(

    I understand the logic of not wanting to push away potential new players by having them buy not just the full (not upgrade) digital Summerset but also the other chapter.
    But i don't like the fact that faithfull customers that paid through ESO initial edition, then morrowing, and now Summerset, are not rewarded for it, on the opposite, they are getting "less" out of the deal !

    So 2 suggestions
    Either have the morrowind actually turn into an extra copy that can be gifted for those that had already it (cause lets face it, no one gonna buy it anyway these days when for cheaper you get summerset + morrrowing ... so it's not gonna make ESO lose money on potential sales ... )
    Or for upgrades for accounts that already have morrowind, replace it with some vanity trinket , like an extra pet or costume or house furniture, that would be fine with me too

    But just don't short-change old faithfull customers ! Cause right now , i get the message "hey, if you don't get summerset this year, you'll have it free with next expension next" :(

    Honestly I don't really care...I mean it is very common practice. When a new expansion comes out the old once become a like a bonus for buying the new one. Or their put on sale. It's not surprising or anything. One might argue "I spent money on it, now it's free, what the hell?!" Well that is still the case. Morrowind still costs something, the price is just included when buying Summerset.

    to me this is an equivalent of being upset that the game you bought some time ago at full or near full price.. is a game offered with PS Plus for free... for a month.

    for the record. I wasn't upset when the cost of morrowind was reduced across the board. and I wasn't upset every time it went on sale either. why? becasue I got to play it when I wanted to play it and I am old enough and have been a consumer of all sorts of things, not just games - to realize that THIS IS HOW THESE THINGS WORK.

    Is this any digital pre purchase? Or a specific edition

    I cannot confirm if this works with pre-purchases on steam, or other third party sellers, but if you are buying directly from this website - any digital edition, including basic upgrade https://account.elderscrollsonline.com/store/product/eso_summerset_upgrade

    Yep. I may not have been clear but my understanding is once you get MW with your SS purchase, you have MW permanently.

    The limited time simply refers to the pre purchase time.

    World of Warcraft has been doing it for years. Every new expansion also gets you all the previous ones. It's a standard in MMOs these days and is good for new players, so that they don't have to spend a fortune on having a complete game.

    Not really. What does *** me off though is how ZoS had the audacity to put Morrowind on Sale 2 days ago (a day before release of pre-order and the bonuses). That is actually absolutely disgusting and they should be *** ashamed of themselves. How dare they put something on sale and then make it literally free a day after. Who the hell do they think they are?
    Difficulty scaling is desperately needed. 9 years. 6 paid expansions. 25 DLCs. 41 game changing updates including A Realm Reborn-tier overhaul of the game including a permanent CP160 gear cap and ridiculous power creep thereafter. I'm sick and tired of hearing about Cadwell Silver&Gold as a "you think you do but you don't"-tier deflection to any criticism regarding the lack of overland difficulty in the game.

    Kinda upset
    I think ZOS realized that most players considered MORROWIND as an over-priced DLC. So they offer it free to the players who buy SUMMERSET ISLEs.... finally with jewelry crafting.... which is long passed due. The NEXT CHAPTER prices are over-priced. I have seen nothing in the DLCs or CHAPTERS so far that has been an "game changer" other than nerfing skills & new "barbie makeup".

    To keep players from getting bored and moving away, the game needs something that stands out above all other games in concept (not just flashy colors that tax CPU and IP traffic).
