Imperial City load in on lockout

Zlater · August 2015

Ad was locked out of the IC in the previous patch, I noticed even if that was the case I could still log into the IC and do my stuff regardless. Is this intended, can I just leave my main in the IC, jump onto my alt, reclaim some keeps and then swap them around? I have a feeling that people will still just be leaving an alt or two in the IC while the campaign is losing and use their alt for everything until it opens back up.

So far as I know you could do that cause again as far as I know ZOS hasn't changed access yet and it is still needing all 6 home keeps which again I say is a very bad idea and is a disaster waiting to happen.

Hey gang!

When Imperial City launches it will be open access to all Alliances in all Campaigns to all those who purchase the DLC or are ESO+ members. After the dust settles we'll be looking at Campaign population and feedback about the new rulesets also going out with the Imperial City update (that apply regardless of getting the DLC or not).

Based on those factors, we may or may not open\convert a Campaign to gated access to Imperial City, but again when Imperial City launches, it will not have Keep Gated access to start.

Just for a comparison point, this was also possible in Darkness Falls / DAoC. Only when you died and released, were you kicked out of it if your side didn't have access (you could still be rezzed by people if you died)

Now I'm not certain of how it actually works in IC, I got the impression that even if you got killed while your alliance doesn't have access, that you could just respawn inside. So that would mean that as long as you don't leave, you get to stay in IC. No cleaning up the sewers after your alliance closing the other alliances' entry gate.

Yeah it seems to be the case, I feel like that even though we wont be able to get in people will still be leaving their characters in, and nabbing the keeps will be futile regardless.
