    Oh, and I got a badge for posting that comment. Frankly, I'd prefer access to the game. At least on those occasions when the servers are actually up.

    No email here either.

    Also, whoever thought ALT was a good idea to use for "Cancel" in the box to enter the code seriously couldn't have thought on how Windows users get from one app to another.

    Hint: ALT-TAB closes the code box, as does ALT-ENTER.

    you see, a crashed server sucks but affects everyone equally.

    I haven't received ANY authentication mail yet, and even if I do the 10 minute timeframe is probably long closed.


    a crashed server is more of an "oops" - this whole prime time maintenance AND introducing security features is sheer incompetence. bravo zenimax.

    So I finally got the correct code after 50minutes of waiting. I don't wanna complain that much but the person/s who is/are managing the patching should reconsider their current job and how they handle it. The delusional idea to patch while primetime is very very very bold. Even more, the negative impressions of the patching process make the whole game look bad which is sad since it is a really great game. I hope to see a change in the future...
