I pre-ordered Summerset for Summerset.

I preordered Morrowind last year.

Don't regret it.

I'll pre-order.

If I don't I will have to wait a year only to get the base zone free. I would probably still need to pay for access to jewellery crafting and maybe the Psijic (not sure how that will work?) a year from now.

Already pre-ordered and the status of old content matters not....

You missed an option. I was never going to preorder anyway, but I'll get it when it releases. I'm not waiting a year for it to be free with the next expansion.

@Kodrac out of curiosity why not pre-order if you plan to buy it on launch. The cost will be the same but you'll miss any bonus items.
I know pre-ordering is a terrible thing (I agree with Mr Sterling on this) but in your case it seems odd to avoid getting free stuff if you will pay the costs any way.

I don't understand why I would cancel my pre-order? I got Morrowind for free when I bought summerset. It didn't cost me anything additional.

If I cancelled and then decided to buy Summerset at a later date (after launch), I'm assuming I'd have to buy the base game for $30 (which now includes Morrowind) and then spend another $30 for Summerset. Am I somehow confused, or wouldn't I be paying $60 to get everything I just got from the preorder, now minus the mount and outfit?

EDIT: Or are you assuming that in a year, they will add Summerset to the crown store? Personally, I want to play it now. I'm sure it'll be cheaper in a year, but $40 for the base game, morrowind, summerset, and a bunch of ingame goodies is already a super good deal. But if you want to wait until its only $10 next year, that's fine too.

Preordered Morrowind Digital Collector's Edition, had a lot of fun with it

Will definitely do it again for Summerset

I preordered collector’s editions of both expansions. The Summerset CE is $20 cheaper than Morrowind was.

Congratulations to the people who are new to the game and I’m looking forward to seeing you in Morrowind AND Summerset!

Morrowind wasnt at all a part of my decision to pre-order Summerset. Dont regret it, will be pre-ordering next years chapter for the same reasons as this one and Morrowinds.

I'm not planning on pre-ordering it (but haven't completely ruled it out) but I'm also not planning to wait until it's free/sold for crowns.

At the moment I feel like I have more than enough to do without adding another expansion/DLC (and I haven't even got Clockwork City yet) and I'd actually prefer not to have the flaming leopard because I'll never use it and don't want another unused mount cluttering up the menu. So right now it doesn't seem worth spending £30 for the Digital Collectors upgrade. (Or even buying the standard upgrade, but I do want the griffon pet so when I buy it I'll get the collectors version.)

Past experience tells me that over time the price will drop, and my desire to get it will increase (as I run out of other things to do/hear about all the cool stuff other people are doing). At some point the two will intersect and I'll buy it.

That could be when it's bundled free with the next expansion or ZOS changes their business model yet again and releases it in some other format. It could be when it's added to the crown store (although I don't subscribe and only buy crowns when I need them so that just adds a step to the purchase process, it doesn't let me pretend it's free), it's more likely to be whenever I find it sold at a discount after release.

I know it's unusual around here for someone to be thinking about whether they want a product and not using their purchase/lack thereof as a protest against something or other, but that's where I'm at right now. Since I don't subscribe I'm unaffected by all the weird and random changes to ZOS's sales tactics and happy to carry on with what I was doing anyway.

I don't see anything wrong with the way they are doing it.

I'm happy with my pre-purchase and access to my mount (which I haven't used yet but it's in rotation so I'll eventually get around to using it).

I won't cancel my preorder, since it was digital and i don't think I can, but I wouldn't cancel anyway

There's no option for "I already got it but won't be cancelling'

Or "charge back" but that's bad lol

I pre-ordered Summerset before the details about Morrowind for crowns came out. I also pre-ordered Morrowind last year. Even with the details out, I plan on keeping my pre-order.

I think the real issue is the definition between a chapter and dlc since it is now known that waiting a year would have the previous chapter treated like a dlc. Buying the chapter on release with real money seems to be only a 1 year or less exclusivity thing now.

I am a bit displeased about the collector's and pre-order stuff going to the crown store instead of staying exclusive to those who paid extra over standard and not with crowns, but I guess that zos would and has reskinned and sold the the pets, mounts, costumes, etc. anyways. Despite this I personally don't consider this a big enough issue to be worth canceling a pre-order over.

I *** and moan about the game but it would take ZoS going above and beyond on the scummy money grabbing behaviour to actually force me to stop playing.

Making the game more accessible for everybody is important so I can't grudge them offering Morrowind up for other players.

I would like to think ZoS recognise it does leave a bit of a bitter taste in the mouth of long term players and offering some sort of .. I dunno, tangible reward for long term support would be rewarded, be that a costume of increased crowns each month.

Summerset won't be available for crowns until the next DLC gets released. Who wants to wait a year?
