If this is in the wrong forum, please move it to General Discussion, because I can't locate it... Although this could be considered a technical problem, since your forum is completely unusable -_-

Having played numerous MMOs - SWG, LOTRO, SWTOR, and more recently Wildstar - I have to say, for a game that is releasing imminently, ESO has the worst website and forums I have ever encountered.

I don't have an issue with the 'minimalist' design, as I know this probably reflects your mantra, minimal UI, etc. but there isn't even a section devoted to the different classes, under Game Guide. How are you expecting to entice people to play ESO without such basic information?

The biggest problem here, however, is this hideously atrocious forum. I don't even know where to begin. It's the most inaccessible, user-unfriendly format I've ever come across. I can only assume you got your QA feedback for it from a bunch of Skooma-addicted Mudcrabs. It was considerably difficult working out how and where to make a post, especially amongst all of the threads in different languages, which should have their own separate forums. And I know it may seem insignificant, but even aesthetically, all of these tonal colours make reading and navigating painful on the eyes/mind.

You can honestly find vastly better forum templates for free anywhere on the internet. Whoever came up with this format isn't worth a cent of what you paid them.

From what I've played, I really like this game, and I'm a big fan of the Elder Scrolls series, so it's such a shame to see a great game paired with a pitiful forum/website like this. Even more so when you consider the amount of competition in the MMO industry. I appreciate you probably think you're only catering for 'Skyrim/RPG fans' here, but you need to get your act together, because your MMO players won't stick around...
