ESO gold edition upgrade question

[Newb Always Ask]

I have already got ESO Gold Edition long time ago.
Accordling to online info:
The Elder Scrolls Online: Gold Edition includes the standard edition of the game, access to four DLC game packs (Orsinium, Imperial City, Thieves Guild, Dark Brotherhood)

If I get Necrom Upgrade, is it include all remaining chpters and DLC I didn't have?

[Bambo0zl3]

The bigger ones? Yes (Morrowind, High Isle and so on). All included in this bundle.
The smaller ones? No. You still need to purchase some from the shop like some Dungeon-DLCs and so on.

"Upgrade" doesn't include old chapters. And none version includes dozens of ingame DLCs similar to Thieves Guild. In fact even Thieves Guild, Orsinium, etc is no longer available as a part of any steam bundle.

So, I need to get "The Elder Scrolls Online COLLECTION: Necrom" which include the standard game I already got
Then I have all chapters including the newest one.

For the dlc, is the above bundle including most of the dlc?
I know there is a membership and Crown Store stuff.
I have a brief concept, can you leave me more detail?

[Danny Fluke]

Membership/Subscription will give you access to remaining DLCs while active, as well as 1650 Crowns per month subscribed (among other benefits).

Once your Subscription expires, you no longer have access to these DLCs unless you buy them with Crowns (specific to the server you bought them on).

There are DLCs such as Clockwork City, Murkmire, etc, and are a mix of Dungeon and Zones. These won't be included in the Collection or your Gold Edition.

You can find bundles for DLCs which give you a better price. For example, there's a bundle on sale currently for the DLCs during the Deadlands story year.

I can choose from following
1. buy collection and enjoy all chapters without much dlc content and without crown
2. join membership without the newest chapter, but with most dlc and monthly fee...

I have no idea how the gameplay will differ

There should be a Steam sale coming up soon here you could be looking at up to 67% off the necrom collection so I would wait if I were you, but that's what I would get if I were you, you won't have the dlc content that the subscription would give you but you'll have all previous chapters including necrom
Necrom won't be included in the monthly subscription until the next expansion comes out which could be up to two years away

I finally understand what Bethesda is doing
I'm waiting to see what offer on sale

I don't use Steam anymore, but your options typically are:

- Upgrade. This option is a standalone purchase and is not a bundle.

- Collector's. This option is a bundle that includes what it states and previous stuff. However, this is the most expensive option as it usually include extra stuff as well as preorder items.

- Expansion name but does not say "upgrade". This option is your standard bundle that includes what it states and previous stuff. Does not include collector's edition cosmetics.

Summary, TLDR:

Necrom Upgrade - Necrom only
Necrom Collector's - expensive content bundle (extra cosmetics and maybe a mount).
Necrom - standard bundle

What I concern of coz is the price
Subscription is long term for maybe at least 1 year so I'm unlikely to do now
I may get the collection bundle without extra stuff if having nice price on sale
I guess the price should be less than 3 month of subscription

Someone said my Gold Editon already have some of the important dlc
Then I'll join the subscription only when there is a dlc sale
That time I can get that 1650 crown and to play the dlc for 1 or 2 month
I'm not in a hurry, and this is my plan, I hooe it work as I estimate

You were lucky to get the Gold edition when you did because it's not offered anymore. The Gold edition includes base game, Morrowind and core DLC content.

DLC is crown store only now. The only time that's not the case now is if you are logged in during an event where you are awarded certain DLC (for free) for participating - assuming you own the expansion that gives you access to the event (usually the newest expansion).

Lately, it seems Zenimax's goal is to see how little effort they can invest in newer content before people stop buying it. They haven't reached bottom yet...

As far as crown store goes, avoid it unless you get crowns from ESO plus. The crown store is stupidly overpriced.

[Halcyform]

Something else of note:

ESO goes on sale regularly; however, newest expansion takes time before it goes on sale. The best sales on content typically happen when a new expansion is released.

I usually just play the game one expansion behind because I don't want to pay full price. I don't pay full price or preorder any games anymore.

Now would the the time to make your move

[Newb Always Ask]

Just as you said there is a 67% discount including the collection bundle which is a very nice price
I'm collecting information on managing storage without a craft bag
I'll make the decision between collection and eso+ afterward

hmmm, so I had the base game like almost 2 years, if i buy the collector's bundle then I will have access to all DLC and a base game again with almost doubled the initial price? hmmm wish they reduce the collector price when you've already owned the base. Still tempting me to buy collector tho
