    I don't understand how we attend this thing. It's being advertised OUTSIDE the forums, but it sounds like the only way to get an invite is to send a PM via the Forums. Which, I recently learned, takes a couple of days to even get access to, then once you DO have access you find out you have to be at a certain point threshold to even have the ability to PM. Is the point to frustrate people to death? I don't get it. Do you actually want people to attend this event?

    Okay so I figured it out. The messaging system isn't intuitive at all.

    You have to click on your inbox, click "create new message", then start typing the name in and it will auto-fill so you can select the recipient you want (or copy/paste).

    Does this not work for y’all?

    I have no option to do anything when I click on my inbox. It's totally blank.

    I would love to attend but I also have no way to send any message. Been playing for 4 years but FINALLY made it to the forum ☺️

    It worked for me. I was able to send a PM. Yeah! See you at the event.

    Did you get any confirmation? I haven't heard anything back since sending the pm.
  • darklordjames3b14_ESO
    Read the thread, yall. ;)

    PMs unlock after 10 posts, as explained back in post number #12 of this thread. :)

    I hope ZoS staff don't get displeased with people that are asking about the problems like some did at the Tavern ^^
    Selfies are all fine and dandy but there is also reality.

    Got it - thanks! Off to explore the forum 🧐

    If you are Soul Shriven, post a few times and you will be upgraded to level 1 and will be able to PM. It worked for me. See you at the event!

    Posting "A few times" didn't work for me at all... It's like you have to somehow get "points", making it completely based on whether other people react to your posts? Ugh I'm never going to be able to sign up for this; it's so unfair.

    Yes. After getting my forum account deleted twice and having to go through this .... yes that does seem to be the point.

    Also, you CAN just show up to the event without signing up... however, to PLAY the new area you must sign up to guarantee our spot... this is the part that is so frustrating. If I go, I want to be able to play!

    My hubs and I have been playing for a few years and we’d just be stoked to meet some like-minded gamers from the PNW!

    Oh, didn’t realize we could still get in without the RSVP. That’s cool. So even if I never get this PM thing to work, I’ll still get my tick blood margarita!!!

    Just to clarify, the RSVP will simply get you an invite to skip the general admission line to get in. Anyone who gets in (regardless of RSVP or not) will get to play Dragonhold. :) Space is limited, though. So if there's a situation where we hit the maximum amount of RSVPs, anyone who is in the general admission line will need to wait until others leave to get in.

    I wasn't able to do it either. Posted a bunch of times, replied a bunch of times; my status hasn't changed so I still can't PM. Very annoying. Maybe they want the events to be Darwinian, i.e. only the people who survive extreme frustration and disappointment get through the doors!!!

    Personally, I'd rather they just have a traditional booth at the Expo. I went to their first off-site event at PAX East in 2017 and didn't like it. I went in 2018 and ended up really liking it, which is why now I'm trying to get into the one in Seattle. But I'm clearly doing something wrong because I still can't PM.
  • shamuISdead
    Hey all! I'm planning on checking out the Seattle event and I'm in the same boat with a new forum account without enough points yet. Hope to meet many of you there.

    Brand new forum accounts do have some limitations in place, including PM restrictions. I'll shoot you all a PM, and you should be able to reply :)

    Excellent. I was about to change my reservation to me plus 20 guests, and escort all the "Soul Shrivens" thru the door ;)

    I'd like a PM as well. It's taken a couple of days just to find how to get and establish an account. I'd like to RSVP as well.

    Thanks.
