The Elder Scrolls Online site has been updated with news of the upcoming arrival of the Morrowind expansion on the Public Test Server. During its life on PTS, however, things will be a bit different than usual. Everyone can help test out the base game changes but testing opportunities for Morrowind will be closed and by invite-only.

Any truth to the rumor of extra inventory space for subscribers?

NDAs are completely normal in software development and testing, for games or otherwise.
Bugs and issues are normal and expected throughout development and into testing. That's why they have Beta Tests, to help catch and squash as many of the worst ones as possible prior to going live.
People leaking info and "reports" of what they see in Beta (especially the problems.. people looooove reporting the issues they find, usually with a nice dose of embellishment or exaggeration). Of course, there's a large amount of people who also looooooove to believe every bad thing they hear, but will reject anything positive. Because where's the fun in believing things are going smoothly, and -insert game here- isn't going to crash and burn?
It would be nice if NDAs weren't necessary. Unfortunately, we don't live in that world, and the genre is full of trolls and less-than-intelligent-or-honest individuals whom will inevitably report every glitch and problem they find to everyone *but* those they're supposed to be... the developers.
So, because those types of people exist, and always will, NDAs are necessary to at least stifle or stem the flow of such nonsense out into the wild.
They had a pretty neat anti-leak thing in ESO back in the original beta, with the player's email address kinda "watermarked" on to the screen, so it would be visible in any screenshots they took. Hopefully they do that this time as well.
