im not QQ'ing, but I do want to put it out there that this idea that people weren't buying early access but instead buying the ingame items or some such. The notion that someone can tell someone else what they were thinking at the time of purchase is absurd.
Regardless of the products cost in comparison to the products cost after the game goes live, if the motivating factor for buying the pre-order pack was X, then X is the reason the pre-order was purchased.....no?
no to break the mood or anything, just grabs my goat when people get shouted down for expressing themselves, wouldn't be so bad if the person doing the shouting actually really gave a crud about the other person...

This is my personal opinion, and should be taken as such... and i am aware of the bug that has allowed players to access others characters through their account.
For the hardcore fans of MMO's and TES universe the people who have been sitting on forums and their pre orders for months in anticipation of this game their respective early access times are launch for this game, the beta sessions should have identified many of the bugs that have contributed to them taking down the servers for maintenance during early access and they should have been working hard to fix them before early access started, this is a hindrance to any fan who has been playing from 5 day early access till present.
So i think that in some way we should be compensated for the time we have lost, early access was for me at least an opportunity to get out of the starting zones before the flood at game launch, and i haven't been able to do that yet due to this.
(A free or cheaper mount for all those affected would be nice :P just saying)
I do however understand that in a way, this isn't ZOS's fault and in no way are they obliged to compensate us for this, they're probably as annoyed as we are, and are likely working hard to fix it all.
Oh, and stop kidding your selves, early access was a "bonus" but we all know that was one of the main selling points for when we pre ordered our respective editions of the game.
while i'm at it, i do want to say that the fact that we haven't heard much about why they took the servers down through facebook, twitter, or here on the forums is kind of annoying, and the lack of information once you try to log in and discover the servers are down is also annoying, i feel they should tell us the facts through these social media networks within an hour of taking the servers down, not after 4, and that they should give us a rough time frame of when they estimate they will have the servers back up, the fact that they can't even say "maybe some time today" is annoying, we know that they don't know when they can bring them back up, but we would appreciate someones best guess.
Again, this is my opinion and should be taken as such.

Looked into actually....to me the SSD isn't worth the insane price point atm. I'll wait a year or two, and then upgrade.

Just too much to ask these days.
If you had completely read the thread you posted this in you would have noticed that they have apologized for the downtime a number of times.

Even then there will and always will be bugs and problems in the game. At least for another few months. However, like someone else said on here the launch was pretty smooth compared to most mmo's. I'm excited to see how well the game goes. O_O ;D
U forget your talking about Blizzard. they are noobs who support noobs. just look how bad D3 was at launch. a simple game compaired to normal MMOs and they crash landed and continued on for days grinding there rep into the dirt HAHA.

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?
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.
You didn't pay for early access. Both the standard and the imperial edition included three(physical) to five(digital) days of early access. Both editions will cost the same on the official release date as they do now. The game time you paid for within that payment for the game(30 days) doesn't start until the game is officially released and isn't ticking as we speak.
To clarify, the $59.99 for the standard game was for the following:
1) A limited license to play the game. You "own" it now.
2) 30 days of game time.
The extra amount paid for the Imperial edition(both physical and digital) was only for extra bonuses - The imperial race, horse, a pet mudcrab and/or some bonus physical items.
Choke on that...
erm dude... not to cut in on the convo you got going, but wtf?
Allow me to Tell you that the only reason my partner and I bought the Pre-order standard and Imperial editions was for the Early Access.
Take Note that only one Imperial Edition was mentioned, that is because we only need one set of rings for the two of us... the mount hasn't even been used yet.
So after you jump off your high horse ... don't forget to change out of your jumped up know-it-all suit...;)
Sooo they shouldn't fix the game then?
