It says that ESO is free till day 13 of April but i downloaded the game and i can not log in. So what? It says "The sony entertainment network account have not real time multiplayer preferences. Please select another account or upgrade your permissions" or something like that. Is a PSN issue or what?

    Do not worry,I WILL NOT PAY till i get my free trial,in meantime i play on other games. If i will not get my free trial,i will not play the game,is easy as that.

    Is good to win money with a videogame but is better to not send FAKE trials to players so they will pay if they can not play due this FAKE trial.

    Sorry,but i will not pay till i try my free trial. See ya.

    You need to register in the eso zos website, link that account to your psn accou nt and it should work. At least that's how I think it works, I originally played on pc, merged account with Psn and now xbox live, had no issues barring my vMA staff and bow being on my PC account, but that ain't changing anytime soon!!!

    I already linked my Ps4 account. At least to the account site up left of this website. And still does not work.

    Ah this might be a parental restriction on your ps4 account there's something similar on xbox which limits what you can do socially, I would check there. Also, do you have psn plus?

    Hi @Ximinetto, to play ESO on the PS4 a PlayStation Plus membership is required, as it says here. On the Free Play page, here, it says that players with a PlayStation Plus membership will be able to play the free trial.

    Ok then it is not free at all.

    Yes it is, that is a requirement from PlayStation to play ANY multilayer games, it is nothing to do with ZOS, it's the same deal for XBOX with gold requirement. If yoh have PSN Plus, there is no cost to play ESO as per the trial.

    If i pay ps plus on the trial,is the same as paying ps plus without the trial. That is why i say it is not free at all.

    Another thing is that you consider free to the greeymoor content,then we are talking on different things.

    It's free because you do not have to pay for a copy of the game.

    The fact that other payments are required (including, but probably not limited to, buying a PS4, paying for an internet connection and paying for PS Plus to connect the Playstation to the internet) is irrelevant because those are not part of ESO. The game itself is available for free during the trial.

    Both Sony and Microsoft require a "gold" or "plus" membership to play most if not all online games.

    If you want to play the game for "free", consoles aren't the best way to do it because of the "gold" or "plus" requirements.

    I start to understand,a guy who have not the game,can play those days to the game if he have a ps plus membership. But i already had the game bought but not ps plus membership. My apologies,i did not understood very good the free trial.

    You can always play the game fully free on a PC, enough to see if you like it or not. Then you can buy the game (one time payment) and then get unlimited access without having to pay for a recurring subscription (which does gives a lot of perks, most notably the unlimited slotted crafting bag, but it does cost a lot of $$/month)
