$20 extra for Imperial Edition and you are not restoring my pre order items? You are joking right?

MOST people just open their mail and grab whatever items are inside. RARELY do people actually read the mail. Unfortunately some of us that didn't like our characters within the first 5 mins deleted the character to remake him/her after we had accepted the pre order items. Obviously a lot of people are pissed off about this because I'm seeing pop ups about "DO NOT DELETE YOUR CHARACTER TILL YOU FIND A BANK!" when I start the game up. WHERE IN THE HELL IS THERE A BANK IN THE PRISON I START IN?!?!?!?! THERE IS NO BANK...ITS A PRISON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is EXACTLY why successful companies like Blizzard put preorder/store bought items on every character. Items you give us should be distributed to EVERY SINGLE NEW CHARACTER WE MAKE ON THE ACCOUNT! That is not just good customer service...it is common sense. Telling us to go find a bank and that every character we play on has to go to the bank to get out the pets/rings/items then put them back in the bank before we switch characters again is not only annoying...it is RIDICULOUS! I had 5 day early access...I sent in my request to have the items restored within the first 5 mins I could log into the game and Ive yet to see a reply.

    I paid $20 for the items. They can reply in here for that amount of money.

    Well, that was the standard for other MMOs to have em on all accounts, but they will be giving back your stuff. They are just trying to figure out a way to handle this unexpected issue.

    I dont know where you got this info that they arent... but whatever.

    They made a sticky about this subject here:
    http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/discussion/62603/deleted-imperial-edition-early-access-items#latest

    Post there, and if you don't hear back from them, submit a ticket with support via email/phone here:
    https://help.elderscrollsonline.com

    Other than that, try to be patient I suppose.
    Luckily I put my stuff right in the bank on the first character I created. I mean what's a vanity pet if everyone has one? I'll break it out on the 4th.

    You got what you paid for, your carelessness and lack of reading meant YOU deleted them.

    Getting all /EMO isn't going to get the items YOU DELETED back,. so calm down and do what Zenimax are telling you to do in order to get them again.
  • Demonic_Wrath
    Do the items really matter that much? Honestly 90% of people pre-ordered the imperial edition just for the 1g mount and the imperial race line. A few treasure maps and a mud crab isn't really worth all the commotion going on.

    on the other hand since you can have more than one character, why would you delete a character when you have space to create more?

    How is telling us to find a bank when we start in a prison my fault?

    Probably the leveling thing si what they are wanting.

    TBH, it doesnt really matter either, because I am soloing and I am leveling on par with many who also have them and are leveling together.

    This is really going to make your head spin....

    But what if....just....WHAT IF....

    I created my first character then created 7 other characters all with the names I wanted to reserve....THEN (now here's where it gets real tricky)....I log back onto the FIRST character I made with no additional slots left. I would use crayons to draw you a picture of what happens next but it might make your head explode.

    stop crying .. I like it.. its a one time deal.. your imperial abilities are transferable.. explore pack is not.. (beta items are not)... so what are you talking about... you didn't pay extra for the maps... you didn't pay extra for beta items... YOU PAID FOR A RACE ONLY GIVEN OUT IN IMPERIAL EDITION.. NEVER WILL IT BE GIVE OUT AGAIN.... NEVER... 4 years from now your account will be worth $200 on the black market (Ebay)

    I'm fairly certain the Imperial race will be a purchasable upgrade from the cash shop eventually.

    I dont know what you talking about , quite sure the devs they will add the upgrade standart to DDE in the shop :P.

    If anything , only thing unique is the explorers pack , if they dont sell it also later.

    Then maybe you...finish the starter area, find a bank, then delete?

    In SWTOR each race had to be level 50 before you could unlock it to play as say a Sith playing as a Smuggler on Republic side in your Legacy. Then the game went F2P and suddenly you were able to purchase these race's without having to level them to play else where.
    Eventually the same will happen here, unfortunately!

    I'm not sure what country you originate from, but in Australia, you void all of your consumer rights on a product you have bought when you accept and agree to a specific set of terms and conditions.

    IF you have the preorder regular edition you can upgrade.. not if you buy after the preorder time frame...

    there is no bank. get out of the prison to get to a bank. @Kaide, your post is misleading as you freely admit that they are yet to get back to you, yet you claim they are not returning the items. How about some truth over sensationalism?

    I'm glad I read before I deleted the initial character I messed up on. Should be account-bound.

    Perhaps you would like someone to come to your house and read the mail for you next time?

    Though I'm rather disgusted by the amount of entitlement the OP managed to put in his post. He does have a point regarding the part I quoted. Just my two cents.
