or do I have to worry about this happening again?

You're fine, I was on PTS and now I'm on live and everything seems fine.

The problem I am worried about is not simply the bug, but how it was handled. However, I am worried about going even this far into that.

I won't risk downloading the PTS again. Several years before the PTS debacle last year I downloaded the PTS and it did something that seriously messed with me being able to log in and play the regular game. I couldn't sort out the problem and I ended up having to unistall both PTS and the entire game, go through my files and delete everything related to ESO, and do a fresh install. Ever since then I've not been willing to even try the PTS. Then they had the problems last year that sealed the deal for me. I'll never touch the PTS again. It's not worth the risk in my view. Plus, ZOS disregards most of the feedback that we gave and that those that still play on the PTS anyway, so why bother?

They haven't repeated the problem since then, so we are relatively safe.

You know, I kinda wanted that solar horse mount available right now, but its 16k seals... Wouldn't mind that planemeld again... 😏

Jk. You should be safe.

I haven't played on *this* pts but I played on the one last April (after it was all fixed) until release, and on the one after that. No issues so far.

No, no don't go. It's full of horrible things from the future.

I guess what I would be hoping for is to know how they plan to handle things in the future.

Normally. The incident was a one-time freak accident that they compensated heavily for. If it happened again, I’m sure they’d compensate again. But I’m sure they’ve also put more protections in place so it doesn’t happen again.

The PTS is fine. We haven't had an issue like that since and hopefully never will again. We have discussed and implemented new processes to hopefully avoid an issue like that from happening again.

Thank you.
