    So, will repeatedly trying these codes "until they work" get some people in trouble and end up invalidating the key, resulting in additional delay?

    Just asking in case it might be wise to wait.

    My suggestion is to wait until they notify. Why risk it?

    I suspect they didnt tell us as MS and Sony don't want people retrying their codes every 3 secs to see if it's activated yet.

    I'm sitting in my parents basement. Lights off, TV on. The comforting hum emitting from the PS4 softly reverberates throughout the dank darness as I stare blankly at my laptop & refresh my hotmail account every 30 to 45 seconds. This has been going on for about 9 hours now. I have an IV of Jolt Cola & a gas mask connected to a tank filled with nitrous oxide. I'm wearing a hand tailored suit I've stitched myself, made from the weathered skin of the old man who the papers said went missing months ago. But just because they can't find him, doesn't mean he's missing. I know exactly where old Mr. Richardson is...

    Seriously though, sometimes these forums crack me up :D .
    I wish nothing but joy for everyone.

    So, I called support and they said there is nothing they can do? Said the codes should be sent sometime today.

    As someone from Zenimax told, not all codes are active right now.
    So, maybe you're just unlucky :)

    Sounds like time for a refund if thats still an option.

    the customer support guy said they are releasing them in blocks and emailing the same way. Said they are looking into why some people are able to activate before the email goes out.

    All I know is the code I have doesnt work, its all letters too, which I never seen before for a PS4 code, always at least one number in there somewhere so I'm assuming its just a placeholder.

    Mine doesn't work either. We'll see how long this goes on for. I'm not convinced it won't be screwed up somehow.

    Note that initially it's the standard ZOS 20-char code, which is what I saw earlier this morning. It *just* flipped and is now a console-appropriate code (5 groups of 5 for Xbox and 3 groups of 4 for PS). Also, the Xbox worked for me. The PS, not yet. So if you don't see the appropriate type codes, yours probably hasn't been activated yet. Even if you do, they may not yet be active on the console side.

    You can find your code in the account-page of ZOS, billing history ... on the date you purchased the account-copy. Just enter it on the PS4/XB1. Just did so right now and he's downloading the game.

    This is getting pretty ridiculous. The combination of these companies and their inability to have players who have been waiting years for this the ability to launch the game is shameful.

    I'm disappointed with how this is all going sucked us in a year ago after there was failure to launch on console, Hey play now and transfer your/copy your account for $20.00, sounded good at the time but have noticed all of my friends have already pre-downloaded and were all still waiting, but yet paid monthly and some, including myself continued on paying with ESO Plus...and now were pushed to the back of the line, [snip]

    You do know there are people playing it now right? That is because it is midnight for them and they are doing it where it unlocks for your time zone at midnight

    It is a comedy of errors, really. Three software/ hardware giants that can't organize something as simple as a preorder for loyal customers who have been waiting, as you've said, for years.

    Absurd. I won't be spending another dime on ESO from here on out, and I've spent hundreds so far.

    We will be sending your digital code for The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited on June 8th. We understand the desire to download the game on your console of choice earlier. Unfortunately, we are unable to offer a code to pre-load due to console limitations.

    Dem console limitations doe...

    They did post and comment, you just need to be willing to read.

    If you log into your ESOTU account page and see a game code, please be aware it may not be active yet. This will result in an error when you attempt to enter it into the Xbox or PlayStation account system. If you encounter this, please wait. We will send an email this afternoon when all codes are active.

    What's funny is that SE fixed their preorder shenanigans in literally 12 hours (where there was an issue with people preoredering it off PSN), they also plastered responses all over Twitter, the Lodestone and the official forums. I remember when there was an issue doing a PS3 to PS4 xfer and the codes messed up, they gave the game FOR FREE. SE know how to do customer service. ESO is just a stopgap for many people--including myself--until Heavensward comes out, anyway.*

    *Which will also have all forms of chat, a functional marketplace and working group finder--oh, and it launched with all of that with ARR.

    My Xbox One version worked, so EXCITED! You guys will get yours activated soon don't worry if not then support will have to get you a new one, but I doubt it will need to come to that. For Xbox One users you can activate your code by signing in with your Microsoft account on the Xbox Live web site under your account name at the top right corner and then hit redeem code. A simple copy and paste method using keyboard shortcuts will work.

    This works i am downloading now do steps below :).

    Here's what do do:

    1. Log in to your account at http://www.elderscrollsonline.com/.
    2. Go to Billing History.
    3. Look for 'ESOTU Imperial Edition for PS4 with account copy'. Your code is under that.
    4. Go to your Palyststion store and click Enter a Code.
    5. Put the code under 'ESOTU Imperial Edition for PS4 with account copy' into the box.

    Bingo! It works.

    ZOS, I think that you owe me a commission for writing your email for you.


    There was a 12 digit code and mine is downloading right now as we speak.

    Dam i am happy .

    If you log into your ESOTU account page and see a game code, please be aware it may not be active yet.

    By the way @ZOS_JessicaFolsom , it's me that you owe the commission to for writing this email. PM me for where to send the cheque. ;)
    I'm a middle-aged gamer from Brisbane, Australia, who has enjoyed ESO since PC beta and now into the Xbox One version.
