Why can i still play the game?
I don't have the actual elder scrolls time on my account, ( i didn't redeem the code for the game ITSELF) i also tried redeeming the code for the pre-order stuff (explorers pack) and it said it requires elder scrolls.(i didn't redeem the actual game code yet) So in order to get the 30 days gametime i have to redeem that right?

Pre-order allows you play to up to 6.4.14 (writen EU way) before locking you out until you place product code then you can redeem those extras to your account.
what do you mean pre-order allows you to play up to 6.4.14 before you need to redeem codes. Also does the pre-order code expire if i decide to redeem it in a few weeks? -

April 6 at 8AM EDT isn't two months away, buddy. It's a little over 24 hours from now.Edited by darkkterror_ESO on April 5, 2014 10:37AM -

Do you know how to write a date? 06( june) 4(4th of the month) 14(2014) that is the correct format. do the codes for the pre-order bonus expire?

That poster was kind enough to point out that he was writing the date the EU way. In case you didn't notice, the EU typically writes dates as day-month-year. Us Americans are crazy (like foxes) and write dates as month-day-year.
And yes, the pre-order code expires...on Sunday, April 6th at 8AM EDT.

OshovaSoul ShrivenNo matter when you redeem the pre-order code, it WILL expire on the 6th April at 8AM EDT. Then from the point you redeem your actual game code you will have 30 days from that point to play with it.
So I would redeem the pre-order code now, and redeem the 30 day code when you are ready to play after 6th April at 8AM EDT -
darkkterror_ESO✭✭✭Your 30 days of game time begins to count down as soon as you redeem your game registration code. It doesn't matter whether that's right now, tomorrow, or three months from now. Once you redeem that code and set up your subscription plan, those 30 days included with your game purchase will count down from that very moment.
Therefore, if you want to get the absolute maximum amount of game time, you would want to wait until your early access time ends (which, again, is April 6 at 8AM EDT). If you don't give a crap about that extra 24 hours (I don't personally, but to each their own) then feel free to redeem your codes now.
Keep in mind, though, that redeeming the game registration code will require that you set up a subscription now. That means entering billing information as well as a credit card or PayPal or game time card. That payment method will reflect a temporary authorization in the amount of the subscription (signing up for 1 month at $14.99 means you will see a temporary Pending charge on your credit card/Paypal for $14.99). This is a temporary authorization used for validation and will disappear from your credit card statements on its' own.
