This.

Woot! Thanks for the info, Khajiit!

Nice extra stuff for those of us already on ESO+, though the "exclusive crown store items" bit sounds a little too...zenimax for my taste.

Sounds like Khajiit is going to get some free (possibly crap) items for something he is already doing. *shrugs*

WOOOOOOOOOOOT !!!!!!!!!! Higher Crowns and free gifts! Always a great thing !!!!!










You mean like junk they are throwing away because it wouldn't sell?

And they're not just exclusive crown store items, they're limited time exclusive crown store items.

Murkmire is on the PTS, meaning that it's most likely coming in October. Related to that, apparently the entire DLC will be given out on the Daily Login Rewards in November.

Interesting. It made sense for Morrowind to go DLC after a year but this is like a month later after its release. I wonder what the deal is. Promoting the log-in rewards by stepping it up from this month's reward of 100k gold?

Anyways, it's since been confirmed that Murkmire has been moved from its original position in northwestern Black Marsh to the southern tip, with Lilmoth as its hub city instead of the former's Gideon. It's also a lot smaller. I wonder how much lore we ended up losing with this move. :T I know for a fact that the Silken Ring Style was originally Kothringi Armor. The Naga still seem to be a thing, at least. Hopefully we didn't lose too much, and unlike the extreme changes to Alinor we have no info on what it was originally like.

Ah that is interesting. I'd thought that since it was a reward for November, we'd be getting it in December. An October release would be awesome, though I need dates so I can book a day or two off work.

As for the log-in rewards themselves, do we know how player numbers are doing at the moment? Perhaps Zenimax are just trying to pull more people back in to playing regularly rather than folks like me who wander off between DLC.

Hollowjack crates already deposited in our accounts. About to open ours.

Got only three things of any slight interest to our crew:
Black Morthal Mastiff- a good looking doggo pet
Jugglin’ Pumpkins emote- exactly what it says, will be used a lot during the Witch’s Festival!
Great Stag Brow Antlers- a major adornment item that is antlers

Pics:
Titus, the Black Morthal Mastiff

Mira, Empress, and new pal Titus

Brenna disguised as a Bosmer for her Silver run through the dominion (wearing the new Great Stag Brow Antlers adornment).

Clownin’ around jugglin’ those pumpkins!

It would be funny if they are, because I remember them trying to make the game FOR those kinds of people. 'Course, that and the current Summerfell event really does give the impression that they're trying to bump up login stats for the higher ups

==

Anyways didn't get many interesting things aside from the ghost lantern from the free crates. Need to keep an eye out for when the current season ends so i can snatch up a few things.

Wait; I thought Murkmire was just a DLC, right? Morrowind was a Chapter = we had to pay cash for it, not buy it with Crowns (which is why I was really ticked when they reduced it to a DLC in just a year).

So wait; if they are giving us Murkmire for free, it isn't even a DLC then, right? Maybe it is just an expansion?

The article says the Hollowjack season starts Thursday

I got the Black Morthal Mastiff dog too! I did see the Juggling Pumpkins emote in person this morning, it is very cute! The emote I got was "Ponder Skull" = really boring. She stares at the skull until someone tries to speak to her, then she puts her finger to her lips and says "Shhhh." I would so prefer to be juggling pumpkins!

Anyway, I got a couple other things too that were not as noteworthy = a posy for the girl's hair; some outfit or something.

What I DID get with the gems I received was the statue of Nocturnal! WOOOT !!!!






A ghost lantern? I've never seen that one!

I got the mastiff dog, a badger and a gray striped housecat with blue eyes. And about 15 gems.

Holy Cow, you get the best drops of all!

mALX, Murkmire IS a DLC - it is free to those with ESO Plus, otherwise purchasable with crowns to those unblessed.

The next Chapter prolly won't be out until June - til then, enjoy Murkmire!

Oh, and those of you who have Summerset, make sure you get the Summerset Pathfinder achievement on at least one of your toons before October 7th. ZOS says if 100% of Summerset accounts earn that achievement, they will give us the Grand Psijic Villa that is located on the island just off the south coast of Artaeum. It is available for preview only through a portal located in the Ruins (where you turn in the museum relics). You only need to complete the first quest in Shimmerene to gain access to Artaeum.

Julian has this achievement already (she is one of the 20% on the link provided by ZOS), so she would be happy to escort any of you and run interference if any of you should want to go for that achievement.

If you do not own Summerset, no worries, it won't matter then.

WOO HOO, I would love that place !!! One of my characters already has the Pathfinder; I'll have to get on my son's game and make sure he has one that gets it too. (I bought his game Summerset while it was on sale price last month).

I did think Murkmire was a DLC, but something Monkey said made me think it was going to be given away free in October? I am trying to wade through the patch notes now to find out what that was about.

Is that 100% of people who own Summerset? Or 100% of people who play Summerset? The former would be impossible, the latter is only slightly more realistic Still, I'll get Ciri to do the achievement.


As for Murkmire, Monkey mentioned the daily rewards aspect of it - the DLC will be a daily reward for November.
