@ZOS_AmeliaR, does this mean we shouldn't enter our full game codes until then or will the 30 days start from Sunday at 8AM regardless? The reason I'm asking is becuase I don't know which code is for the explorer's pack and which is for the game, but I can just wait on both, another few days won't make much difference.
Thanks!
That's correct. The 30 days begins when you select your subscription plan, which Early Access customers will not need to do until Sunday. Hope this helps clarify!@ZOS_AmeliaR, does this mean we shouldn't enter our full game codes until then or will the 30 days start from Sunday at 8AM regardless?
Everything that took place during Early Access rolls right up into the live game. Any characters and guilds you created (as well as anything else that happened during Early Access) will be intact when the servers come online for launch.AlexCala7b14_ESO wrote: »Will our guilds be transfered to the Live server?

Like how does this work?

PayPal supports both recurring and up front methods. As long as you select the recurring method, your account won't be charged until the 30 days of included game time are complete.greevirb14_ESO wrote: »Wait, does this mean that we need to have a payment option setup and funds on that payment option avail on Sunday? Cause I will be using Paypal for my ESO sub and will not have funds on it till a week or so before my 1st month (that comes with the box) is up.

EDIT: Also, once we're live, the pop-up on the launcher will tell you that you need to select a subscription before playing, but please know that Early Access players are exempt (until Sunday, that is).
If you were eligible for Early Access, you are eligible for the grace period extension. If you wish, you may immediately select your preferred subscription plan and payment method. Once this is done, your included 30 days of game time commences immediately.for better understanding, if we select subscription plan before sunday 8am, we'll lose some "early access free time" or, the plan will start working only after 8 am sunday, whenever we chose it ?
Wait, what happens if we don't choose a subscription plan? I'm here for my 30 days and then I'm out until the F2P starts, I have no intention of paying any monthly fees. Are you telling us that we won't even get our 30 days without signing up for some subscription model?
Well, guess you will be out of luck and money when it doesn't go F2P.Wait, what happens if we don't choose a subscription plan?

Any remaining Early Access time will be ended and thus superseded by the commencement of your included 30 days of game time.
