Just wanting to get poll numbers for the community’s desire to see these two playable zones (whiterun and Winterhold) in the future so the powers that be at ZOS such as @ZOS_MattFiror @ZOS_RichLambert @ZOS_GinaBruno and the rest at ZOS can continue to deliver awesome content to us in the community in the “near” future.

    Given the emphasis on coherent year-long stories and this year's focus on Eastern Skyrim and the Reach for Q4, neither of those is likely to be featured as a playable zone for quite some time.

    In the sense that I'd like to see the entire map be filled with playable zones, sure, but I'm not really chomping at the bit to see these two areas specifically. They're kind of last on my priority list, honestly.

    I'd much rather see Cyrodiil outside of PvP-land. Or more of the swamps.

    Since I want to see (and be able to play in) all of Tamriel, yes, sure.
    Though I'm with @Starlock here - there are other zones I'd rather see before those two. First and foremost the rest of Cyrodiil.

    just a small correction the focus is on western skyrim eastern skyrim is ruled by king Jorunn which is part of the pact while the new zone the west part of skyrim is ruled from solitude.

    Whiterun was nothing special, it just happened to be the sorta hub-like town for ESV: Skyrim, so the only reason to bring it back is some minor nostalgia in my opinion. Winterhold before it got destroyed would be slightly more interesting to see, but without some new spellcrafting skill-line or something, it would be a bland addition like Whiterun would be.

    I'd be much more interested in them adding another zone from a plane of oblivion like Apocrypha, Hunting Grounds, Spiral Skein, Moonshadow, Evergloam, etc. They've shown they are capable of making stunningly beautiful renditions of some of these realms via quests, dungeons, and delves. Yet I cannot fathom why they haven't planned any legit zones based on these realms yet, it would be a nice change of pace and basically a blank slate to work with. Maybe if they weren't so worried about monetizing every aspect of the game-play and didn't have to focus so much on churning out gamble-crate 'content' then they could put some employees on developing interesting zones and skill-lines. Not gonna say that ESO is dying or going to die (because that's very unlikely), but these days a lack of innovation is usually signs of a game slowly going downhill.

    No, because when that happens, the writing is on the wall for the end of ESO. You'll have closed the gap between the two adjacent Alliances, and the war changes from three-way to just two.

    It's also unclear now which Alliance would "acquire" those zones. If they had been the two new ones, it would be Pact, but this year's expansion abuts the Covenant.

    White run was quite small and looked like it was a newish establishment since eso is hundreds of years before would it exist yet? Not to bothered about it. I'd love to see winter hold tho, like @Finedaible said tho would want some sort of new skill line with it like spell crafting

    the skyrim expansion is about the covenant?

    Bro what are you smoking? Could I hit some of that?

    I too desire to be put in the mindset of thinking the NORD skyrim expansion is about the covenant and that the reason those two other zones can't be added is because of stupid lore stuff.

    Greymoor is going to be a neutral zone in the war. Not every zone they add has something to do with the war. Hew's bane, Murkmire, Southern Elswheyr, gold coast were all neutral as well.

    Erm dude... You know that while we can't visit those places ourselves, these locations are there in a wider lore-setting?

    There's already a border clash between Skyrim and The Covenant. XD

    I have had enough of skyrim...hearing of skyrim everywhere and now hearing to ahve next chapter based on damn skyrim...

    and no, dont play on these zones wont work because for "Me" there are wasted resources of devs for these maps because of skyrim fanboys

    why wont we get some based of cyrodil or anything of it cause of TES IV Oblivion? TES III Morriwnd we got for old fanboys of TES universe, now we are getting chapter mainly for skyrim fanboys, no TES fanboys in overall
    to much overhyped game from its playerbase

    I want Winterhold because I'm heavily invested in magic lore and would love to see the college in its full glory.

    I want Whiterun so that we can walk from the Rift -> Whiterun Hold -> Western Skyrim -> the Reach -> Craglorn.

    It will be necessary to wait long time.

    First there will be Colovia, Nibenay, Martelfell, Morrowind and Black Marsh. I don't know in what order. But those will come first.

    It feels like I've seen and heard enough about Skyrim to last me a lifetime. I rather see Colovia and the Nibenay. Give Cyrodiil some focus that is actually focused on it and the imperials and not DB, daedra, pvp etc.
    I'd be happy with more Black Marsh too, or some more bosmer content, but that would be hard since all of Valenwood is already on the map.

    I know many players have either played Skyrim to much or the popularity of it turns people off from wanting Skyrim Content.
    But Oblivion did the entirety of Cyrodiil and this game is about all of Tamriel not just one region.
    I do suspect we will get that Cyrodiil content next year. So I don't think it will be another of year Skyrim zones. So eventually the entirety of Tamriel will be done that includes all of Skyrim.
