I couldn't make sense of your sentence since you couldn't spell 'since' correctly.
And that's just common sense.

If your gonna be a grammar and spelling ***, shouldn't you use correct spelling and grammar? Forums are not an English class.

personally, i blame the idiots who decided what is 'correct' english. some morons say 'ruff' should be spelled 'rough' and 'tu' should be spelled 'to,' 'too,' or ''two,' but only spelled correctly, according to phonetics, when a foreign word. more morons say, 'those are great ideas!'

its all post PIE really....well mostly

Mordenkaiser

Well,

I just want to be sure to be clear of Stone Falls before Friday. I think your gonna see a large player influx simply due to the size of the install and the fact that its Friday meaning many players will get the weekend for their first impression.

come on we've not had any fights since a certain person left about 30 pages ago .. lets not start up now.. :P any news at all @ZOS_JessicaFolsom

Still here, lurking, reading, enjoying the screenshots. We're working on pushing the new build to the North American megaserver right now. No changes to the ETA yet (still looking at a few hours, maybe a couple.) As soon as we can provide a time, we will.

Things that people can do while waiting for the server to go back up:

How about...linger on forums reading all the posts and insanity while waiting?

-Sleep (many have been neglecting this this week)
-Homework (I know you have been putting it off ^.^)
-Make breakfast, lunch, or dinner (preferably something relatively healthy...might be the first good thing you will eat all week)
-Start on the 20 page term paper you have due at the end of this month (oh, wait, that's me)
-Play with your pet (you've probably neglected them all week)
-Talk to a real person (don't refer to them as npcs)
-Take a shower (many of you probably haven't since Sunday)
-Write out your next character
-Call your mom (I'm sure she thinks you're dead at this point)
-Exercise or stretch (you don't want arthritis, plus remember to look after your health)
-Clean up your computer area (I'm sure it's a mess. Perhaps take out the trash, if it's trash day)
-Remember to check the mail (could be some good stuff in there)
-Fiddle with your taxes (in America, tax day is coming up)

And so much more...

Was talking to guildies about how smooth this launch is but after a 10+ hour downtime, thats out the window.

It is a just released game, things like this will happen. Now, a few months down the road if such happens you would have more to go on. This launch is MANY times better than most other mmos.

Keep telling yourself this, it's the same as the ones before it. You would think they would have learned from the ones before them but sadly not.

so red sauce pizza or white sauce pizza?

Best Pizza in the World (according to me): Beer dough pizza (whatever is your favorite, I go with a wheat). Sriracha based tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, spicy Italian sausage, jalapenos, ghost pepper infused salt. Then, drizzle with a bit more Sriracha chili sauce.

Place where I live makes that and its called The Flaming Lips soo good.

Hmmmmm, My only problem with the down severs is paying for early game play but not getting in that early game play as id like. Sadly, there isn't much I can do about that. I don't mind them doing maintenance i just wish it wasn't on the 5 day early pass time considering i paid an extra 20$ for the game. I love love the game! I wont stop playing because of this inconvenience because all games have their problems but ughhh. HURRY UP ESO

Scarlett... What if I worded it in such a way that you got a mount, pet, and treasure maps, as well as imperial crafting style for the extra fee....and the advance in game release was just an added bonus?

So you didn't loose anything, just did not get to use up much of the added bonus, that you didn't pay for, but received as an added bonus.

Does that help to keep the swelling down?

j_labbeb16_ESO

Dear Jessica Folsom,

Do you actually play ESO?
If so what are the rules in regards to staff playing with the players?
I would be interested in joining you and your co-workers in game if permitted.

Talk to you soon.

My favorite so far...



Best of luck to your team in getting the server back up and service stabilized.

really nice one, strangly reminds me of dark age for some reason gah i've been gaming far to many years.. and @Zern yeah it's normal to have bugs, but as even I think Jessica will admit the communication broke down BIG TIME tonight, the community on most MMO's typically are really understanding.. if you treat us like actual customers.. especially paying customers Add to that the fact you've got a lot of MMO vets here, some of us who've been around since UO, DAOC and EQ ie the 'good ol days before WoW' and we kinda expect a certain level of com's from the CSO's (heck i'm even using DAOC's term for customer service reps lol).

That's why people on here got upset tonight... that and it happened smack bang on the Australasia prime time.. so you have a lot of people who have come home from work want to play only to find server goes down as they log in.. and very very little communication.. what was given was extremely hard to find at first (the news page REALLY needs to be used here guys (hint) ) and tempers start to boil over..

I don't expect a 'perfect' launch, they don't happen.. And any one who claims they do really needs to go back over their launches, I've been in all the major ones except the Final Fantasy set (Really don't like how the first one played) and not one has really been 100% with out incident and I really laugh at those who claim WOW was better or the such, because I have over a month of re-imbursed sub time from blizzard for the issues that happened over the first 2 - 3 months of it's launch , Dark Age had issues as well.. Guinevere died more than once after a major patch.. heck i can remember patch rollbacks happening.. or the entire frontier crashing at stages due to issues.. always fun..

But the thing with all of that was the companies communicated.. and that keeps most but the 'worst' self entitled people from flaming all the time.

Well, so much for enjoying some gaming goodness before work tonight. I guess they are getting things ready for the major influx of players not in the early release. Having only two servers, makes me wonder. I have to agree in that it will be a major inconvenience for players with limited time or set work schedules. Hope they get the blame thing fixed. had doubts about the game but have really enjoyed it so far. Why I am disappointed at not being able to get in some time before work tonight.

Yea I don't really think there going to get tons more then what logged on yesterday. I mean who says I don't want 3-5 days early play time I think I will wait till it comes out.? I am sure there will be more but not a lot.Lastnight was the start of the 3 day. But heck just guessing

So unnecessarily over the top... like 32gb RAM? Really? You can't even make use of that much. I do admire though don't get me wrong.

No one likes downtime, but sometimes it's unavoidable. I'm just impatiently checking every few minutes so I can play the second it's up again. Silly ES sucking me in yet again. We need ESA support groups.

Most of us bought it for the early access not the items, please swallow your word BONUS and choke on it. I would have not paid 20 dollars more for the game if it didn't have the early access.

Yes but the 3 and 5 day pre-orders will still be there playing. One would think more will join right ?

Ok people, place your bets! Will the thread make it to 100 pages before the server is up? It's gonna be a close one.
