    I can pay $20 right now to get my characters copied to the console when it is released but I CANNOT get a beta invitation. Weird.

    Am I the only person completely baffled by this decision? There is only one console Beta test before the game goes live. Anyone and everyone who wants to test this should be given the opportunity to do so.

    Unless there are structural or contractual limitations at play here, then these restrictions on Beta invitations are bizarre to me. The more people who test this, the better it will be for everyone.

    It would've been nice to give all who paid $20 beta access just because but I'm not sure of the logic behind it.

    I hope they will do an open beta to test their server before launch or we are doomed. There will be extreme lag.

    Just out of interest, as a non console player, do PSN/XBL host the servers and infrastructure or do ZoS?

    I guess it would be both, it goes through PSN but ZoS host the mega servers so if PSN goes down you still won't be able to play, exactly like warthunder already does. Glad to be having it on 2 platforms though.

    I always thought of XBLIVE and PSN as a sort of "gateway/portal" to access outside servers/networks. Thus, I would assume ZOS to maintain servers as long as XBLIVE/PSN allow access to them. I could be off, but that's how I always viewed the situation with other online games.

    Maybe "paywall" would be a better term. ;)

    Notice the opening post that you quoted is "Edited by ZOS_GaryA on April 22, 2015 9:55AM". Apparently it use to say something not allowed, so a ZoS employee edited it down.

    XBox allows devs to rent servers so I don't think your comment is a good explanation.

    SO has anyone received a code?
    normally by now someone would have posted something on the WWW.

    All I see are IGN, Polygon, etc and companies posting stuff but not people.

    It also wouldn't quite make sense for MS to host/maintain the server for an MMO of this nature. Not on this scale anyways.

    500 Call of Duty servers vs 1 ESO NA server? Additionally, the server will require constant patching/tweaking/hotfixing. To my knowledge, that's not something one would typically experience when playing most other games on the console.

    the MEGA server should not be considered 1 server in this example.

    I'm not meaning that in a sense of 1 physical server. I mean since it will require constant TLC, I would assume it to be handled 100% by ZOS. As in, COD servers do not require the same amount of attention as ESO Megaserver will require.

    The comparison to COD servers should have been made more towards that reference rather than shear volume of servers; my bad.
