    I know they are incompetent, but to not even test if only people who bought Greymoor can access it is just absurd. I'm laughing so much right now.

    Same here. Spent 15 min or so in-game, used Wayshrine to port to Solitude & was kicked out.

    I was elated having logged in without a hitch but now I think it is time for a stiff 35 yr The Macallen :(

    According to a post in "Maintenance Announcment" forum, apparently there was an issue discovered when they opened the megaservers after patch maintenance, and they locked the servers while they investigate. ETA as soon as they figure out the full scope.

    Mind you, I don't know what that issue is, but to be entirely honest, I'm not surprised. I was kinda expecting this remote launch to have a few hiccups...more so than normal patch releases due to the fact this patch is the first to be remote launched as a result of our ongoing pandemic.

    But on the bright side, I did see the new cinematic and ransacked the opening room of the new tutorial, so there's a start.

    I'm willing to bet one hamster that it was the fact that everyone could access the new areas, including players who hadn't bought Greymoor.

    Well, I'm assuming that most of the work is going to involve first putting back up the paywalls, and then having to kick players who don't belong back to the base game.

    This might be some time. Grab your popcorn, boys and girls, this is about to get interesting.

    Btw, since the reason why the servers got taken down is because players who didn't purchase greymoor could still access the chapter, we will most likely see a rollback.

    It'd be nice if they got the servers back up after step 1.

    I haven't bought Greymoor for a variety of reasons, I have no desire to actually travel there, but the servers are still going to be down for everyone else while they fix this Greymoor-centric issue. If they have to add the paywall, the I wish they would do that, let the rest of us in to areas outside Greymoor and then started moving players who were in the wrong place while the rest of us could play.

    Maybe it's time to get a QA team, ZOS, eh?

    I know of at least several QA people fired from Blizz that is still looking for QA jobs...perhaps Zeni should start there.

    That said, I'm looking forward to this being resolved Soon(TM).

    Probably not. They didn't do a roll back when people who hadn't purchased Elsweyr were able to create necromancers. They ended up locking out access to Northern Elsweyr but anyone who created a necro without having purchased the chapter was able to keep their character.

    This is the norm these days.

    I was not required to tick the ZOS "TOS Agreement", so perhaps that is the reason.

    ZOS should probably give up on having a launch "day".

    A launch "range" would allow them to specify several days over which the servers (and their new content) might eventually become available.

    Well, now I'm actually glad I had to spend the first 10 minutes after I logged in messing with an add-on that wasn't ready for the new content release, so all I had time to do was tick the wayshrine in Solitude before getting kicked.

    Because I'm sure that this is going to come with a roll-back.

    That better not mean players who actually bought the Greymoor chapter won't get access til June 9 and console is pushed back another 2 weeks. That would be disastrous.

    Not sure why people are thinking they are gonna have to rollback. There are already systems in place for this kind of thing. For example if you have ESO plus, log out in a DLC zone you don't own, let the sub end, the game just auto teleports your char to a dif zone when you log back in.

    It is a little disappointing that because some people may be able to experience the new zones without purchasing them the servers get taken down straight away; as if that is the biggest and most game breaking thing ever. Could have let them see the new zones for a day or so.
