Twistedmind✭✭I agree with you @vicster0
All those that join us US or EU - Welcome we have been working to make your launch smoother by testing even more the game it self..
Egypt and Antarctica kills off more investigators each year than cancer does.

vicster0✭✭Glad someone shares my enthusiasm @Twistedmind!
I wonder how many people who didn't preorder will be purchasing on the release day and throughout release week... It will be interesting to see how the servers hold up! I remember these times back when WoW went live and boy they weren't pretty. LOL0 -
Elixx✭✭Is there actually any people who buy this on retail, im not expecting a huge wave of people. Imo most people who wanted the game, is allready playing it, or am i wrong?2 -
murpf✭im sure we are in for another large influx of people, it sounds exciting, and for a large scale mmo release i think ESO is holding up quite well.1 -

@Elixx, I think there will most certainly be an influx. Especially for the folks that wanted to get physical collector editions and such. I'm just not sure how many!

Maby you are right, but i dont think that it wil be that noticeable. There is not that mutch of people who buy these versions. Maby you will se some new level 10s popping out the noob zones tomorrow.

@illogicbh, I agree. Although I hate lines (all lines, anywhere) this will be a necessary step in the growth of this game and healthy for a proper community to thrive.
I'm excited!

I have to admit @vicster0 I never thought that I would enjoy Elder Scrolls game this much as I do now.. which gives odd mixed feelings. Never been a huge ES fan.It will be interesting to see how the servers hold up! I remember these times back when WoW went live and boy they weren't pretty.
People just have to remember to take it easy.. if there is downtime that downtime is for good things.. It is launch in any case and were not talking about luxury liner that is dropped in the ocean to see if it floats. Egypt and Antarctica kills off more investigators each year than cancer does.

I'm personally still in the noob zones (technically, lvl 12) myself so it should be quite apparent for me. As for the number of people who buy the physical version, I think you might be surprised. I've seen my fair share of MMO launches and there are almost always lines and server impact due to spontaneous userbase growth.0 -

You know @Twistedmind, I wasn't sure how much I was going to like the game either after playing through the beta a few times. I didn't dislike the game, but I wasn't entirely thrilled by it either. I am thoroughly enjoying it now though. It's a shame none of my buds are playing it but I almost think this may be why I am enjoying it - no one to push me along to level faster or take away from my time concentrating on crafting and such.
As for the downtime, you are entirely correct. People need to remember to take it easy and that downtime is almost always for the better. 0 -
Kroin✭✭There will be a lot of new players tomorrow, the game launched so nice, that so many people that were sceptic will start.1

jmido8✭✭✭I dont see the influx of players being as large as the 5 and 3 day headstart launches but im sure therell be a good number of players joining. There will be those waiting for a retail copy, those who are reminded of the game because of the release date and those who just wanted to see reviews before buying and those who didnt want to mess with prelaunch bugs, downtimes and frusturations.0

Thete✭✭✭Is there actually any people who buy this on retail, im not expecting a huge wave of people. Imo most people who wanted the game, is allready playing it, or am i wrong?
I am also wondering this. Why would we expect a massive number of people to buy and play the game on the 4th when they could have bought it few days before and got more for their money. It's a bit of a frank admission that the majority of gamers are a bit dim if this is the case.MMO PvE veteran looking for suitable guild:

Lots of people just don't like to pre-order and only want to pay for a product that is actually out. Word of mouth is huge with these games so i expect tons of people to start playing based on hearing about the game from people who pre-ordered.1 -

So am I, but that will be in the coming weeks and months. People seem to think that hundreds of thousands will be buying the game tomorrow which seems a bit odd.MMO PvE veteran looking for suitable guild:

RubyTigress✭✭✭Yes, welcome.
Be patient-remember there's a whole lot of us hitting this system and stuff is bound to break.
Be kind to each other (well, except for that ONE guy. You know him...) and bring snacks and a good sense of humor.
See you in Tamriel!!!0 -

Im not to sure about that, maby that was the case back in the days but today i think alot of peopel jsut dont want to collect stuff in there homes, maby exept the true nerds who wanna light up there quarters in game stuff. But these are the Collectors ed people and i dont think they are that many. Anyways, will be interesting to se, what waves comming will set the future of this game.

Well thats not entirly today, its later this night and no shop (atleast) in Sweden seem to have the urge to have a nightsell today, witch is really odd, usuallt all "bigger" games have them all around.

Mosti✭✭✭I doubt their will be an influx of players tomorrow, things will continue as normal sure maybe a couple thousand new players will join, but nothing to big that will make a noticeable difference, mostly everyone will have joined during the 5 day or 3 day early access. Even Physical CE orders who ordered from other retailers got their code so they could do 5 day early access. There will be no wait time or huge influx of players.0 -
Pretext✭✭Yes, I think most of those online will have already ordered TESO. So don't expect a huge new wave of players.0
