Morrowind 20% Off - Chapter? DLC?

    Why not just offer the Summerset preorder as it was last week?

    It still exists. Pre-Order Summerset get Morrowind Free.Still.
    So advertising Battlegrounds here as part of Morrwind seems underhanded.

    No for 57 more days, Battlegrounds are exclusive to Morrwind owners.
    Why not simply offer the Summerset package that gives Morrowind with it for free?

    Becuase that costs $40 and customers might only want to spend $20.
    This is coming across as a cash grab.

    A cash grab would be only offering the $40 option and not giving the customer a $20 option. I can only imagine the post that would be made if they removed Morrowind entirely from the store only offering a $40 purchase option to be able to acquire Morrowind in any form. SMH.

    It's a Sony sale. It started on the 21st. There are no games available for preorder in there. There never are.
    It is an ongoing Sony Easter sale, not Zeni trying to rip you off. If you feel this is awkward, try the Sony support or the Sony blog.

    OK, so if you are attempting to clean up any misunderstanding, adding your own words and taking something out of context doesn't help.

    However, I can also admit that I could of been clearer in saying PART of Morrowind will be free as basegame (Battlegrounds).

    Not cleaning anything up. You said Morrowind is becoming free. That is not true. My word upgrade did not change the inaccuracies of your statement.

    OP posted old news but sadly he interpreted it as typical fake news and for this on this forum you get a lot of likes. It's clear intention to get likes on spreading fake news.

    Since February (maybe even in January, I had to check when exactly happened), Tamriel Unlimited is gone - base game became Morrowind and price was changed from 20 to 30 € which is logical as you get more content. In the same time, Gold version of game was also eliminated which had price of 50 € ? if I remember well.

    So, nothing new, and nobody is getting Morrowind for free. You pay +50% more then for Tamriel Unlimited, but you get more content, and price is lower then Gold edition.

    Also, Morrowind in ESO+ doesn't have Warden class, so OP is clearly spreading fake news on so many levels.

    And let's not forget, Summerset pre-orders which include Morrowind - either as upgrade or comletely new game. Everything is so logical, but no, better to spread fake news.


    OK so just a little slanderish and baiting. You have stated that I have seen old news, interpreted as fake news, and then make a concious decision to spread "fake news" for no other reason than 'likes'.

    If I have noticed this today why is it old news?

    Why have I interpreted it as fake news?

    I have raised what I thought was a legitimate discussion on a legitmate concern. Now if my concern is wrong and a discussion unviels that, then I will understand that I have misinterpreted something. Right now I do not see that.

    Before you go head out and criticise me for making posts just for likes, perhaps read some other posts. I honestly couldn't care less about 'likes'. A like on a forum page certainly is not going to enrich my life in any way. I use the forum to ask questions, contribute something, and discuss what I feel are real discussions.

    If you want to add to the discussion then do so, rather than acuse people and bait.

    Look....ZOS isn't being unethical here, you want to complain about a discount go to where the discount is being offered. ZOS is gonna sell Morrowind up until the day it becomes part of the base game. They have every right to do so, you can either buy it before it does or wait, your choice is not their baggage. There is no sleight of hand on ZOS's part in this.

    You just spread fake news as showed.

    And so what if Battlegrounds are going to be part of base game?
    Publishers and devs on PC are constantly giving away games, even AAA games. Nobody cares.
    And yet, you are butthurt that one game mod is going to get into base game. It's just really sad.

    It is really confusing how Zeni change name from ESO Tamriel unlimited to become only ESO. How is potential buyers going to know which is which?

    ESO was the original name of the game. They added TU to hype up changes when it went B2P, but why would they keep that tag long term? It was really awkward sounding. There is no version of ESO that is not B2P, so there will be no confusion.

    Regarding the OP, you as spreading misinformation. Morrowind will not be free. Do we even know what the crown cost would be yet? It won't be zero.

    A discussion is not a complaint. I have raised a discussion, which, forgive me if I am wrong, but isn't that what this forum is able about? General discussion?

    You completely ignore that I explained what happened i.e. how ESO got renamed and changed price.
    Just continue to spread fake news. You are not the first one on this forum who get likes for accusing ZOS of "shady" tactics as if ZOS do that and not Zenimax Media who are overlords of them and Betheseda.

    You started thread with clear fake news:
    This is a new low. This is clearly bait to catch the last few unaware suckers that don't realise Morrowind is being given free with Summerset, AND will soon be free in game (Warden side purchase via crowns obviously).
    Morrowind IS NOT going to be free! Just stop it.

    Don't get the outrage here. What's the difference between this or buying it for crowns as will be the case for a number of people? Plus, it's well advertised in the upcoming pre order details that Morrowind will be included. So there's that too.

    Some people still only buy the base game or the morrowind version and won't even touch the new chapter until later on.

    So what you appear to be saying is becuase I didn't agree with you, I must be spreading fake news? Or that if YOU say something then I should just close the thread?

    Why is it "clear" fake news?

    I have stated my opinion that it is underhanded. It's my opinion.

    If many feel I am wrong, then that's cool. That's what a discussion is about. Some will agree and some will not. If you or anyone see no issue here, that's fine. I do.

    I just went to both the webpage, and to the store on my PS4.

    This sale doesn't show up for me, it just says "29.99" Ah, I see. This is the UK store, so it's £20 and £16.

    But beyond that..... this isn't the Morrowind upgrade. It's "The Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowind"... ie, the base game + Morrowind bundle, a full new game for new players.

    Not a "bait and switch" on the Morrowind chapter.

    So yes - to answer the thread's title: "Morrowind 20% off - Chapter? DLC?" Neither. Full Game Bundle.


    edit: and you know, this is exactly the same thing you'd see in shops on shelves. The world of retail doesn't care that Company A has announced Super Product 2018 Edition is coming in two months - they still have the 2017 edition on their shelves and will sell it. Heck, hard copies of the 2017 Edition will still be on Amazon for months afterward.

    This isn't "bait and switch" by ZOS, this is business as normal for retail shops.


    edit2: and yeah, the PSN store is just totally on the ball. Just checked out their (US) page for the Summerset upgrade. Yep, it says free Morrowind upgrade. But it also says that Summerset is coming out in 267 days on 1/1/19. :D
