    That timer counts down from 5M to 2M to 1:00 to 0:00 and then says LOGIN -- It then rejects your attempt and goes back to 5M.

    Hurry! Get your holy water and throw it on your PC! Go you must hurry!

    Then after, you put the whole thing in rice to dry before booting up again. It helps to say a few hail marys while you wait.

    No, not every MMO markets their game preorders as much as ESO. The main selling point of the preorder was the early access. The game should not be down for maintenance every day of the early access time. It's not okay, and there's no excuse you can contrive that will sate my dissatisfaction. This isn't some F2P korean grindcore they're launching. This is the ELDER SCROLLS. They should have been better prepared, period.

    I couldn't agree more!

    New Topic while we wait: Is this not the worst forum software/design you've ever seen or what?

    I'm stunned by just how awful it is. I don't know why they didn't spend a little money and modify Xenforo to be custom enough to look unique rather than whatever brown mess this is. I mean, it's fine once you're IN a discussion thread ..but navigating the overall forum ..and looking through the topics/threads is just painful.

    Forum is lacking, I guess website design wasn't high on their priority list.

    Give them useful feedback on what you think needs fixing. It will be much more productive, trust me.

    In case all of you are wondering. The maintenance is not over yet. That is all.

    Dude, EVERY MMO, don't care what you say. I have played all the AAA titles and more. This same rant happened with SWTOR. "But it's STAR WARS, they should have been better prepared."

    Btw, SWTOR gave us extra month gametime for our "inconvienece". Maybe ZOS will do the same, could care either way.

    It's impossible to launch perfect. Never gonna happen. So don't understand the whining threads like this one. You could be doing literally ANYTHING else right now, and it would be more constructive. Same goes for me so I'll just end it there....../thread

    My main selling point was The Elder Scrolls and the acronym MMO. If I didn't get early access because it never existed I wouldn't be the slightest bit upset. But seeing as how it does exist and I'm not able to play, I am upset.

    Where do you start? It's so completely bad that I don't see any solution other than to replace it with something else.

    I'm not trying to be mean or troll -- I truly am shocked with just how terrible it is. And, I just don't understand why they would create something like this when there are great forum solutions out there that offer licensing packages that allow them to look completely custom. (And, they're not that expensive at all, in the grand scheme of things. Certainly, it would have probably cost less than the time/money spent on writing this garbage.)

    I think what would be more productive to me would be to hear a producer/developer actually defend this forum software as being a good decision and what a game like this needs. To me, it seems to discourage communication, not encourage it.

    It does suck that it's down during early access, but it's better to have this maintenance to fix the fact that for so many people the game keeps crashing every 5 mins while in Cyrodiil, or even in open world..... Massive demand on the servers needed the maintenance.

    Just hope it stops the crash's when we finally get back in

    Think of this as "Super-Beta" or Charlie testing I suppose.

    This is basically turning into the Open Beta they never bothered having in the first place. :(

    Well true but explain to me the point of early access when you can't even get in?
