Loss of early access feature from pre-order?

Anyone else pre order and hope for early access? I don't care if they need to take time to make the game stable, but having ordered early for the stuff on the pre order list and not playing during this time has left me wondering if it was really worth it. Not a rage or flame, but more an aspect of "uneasy" at the first 12 hours of my pre order early access having been spent offline.
Still a huge fan and intend to wait and try, just a little uneasy. Anyone else?

MattDawn✭I think I would feel better if I knew what was going on. I went to bed and work and still have had no information."What is better, to be born good or to overcome your evil nature through great effort”-Paarthurnax.0

The emergency maintenance most likely has something to do with that. I'm not worried at all. I've had two days of playtime (as the servers have been up for the majority of the time).. and there are still two more days until launch.Fisher extraordinaire!

MattDawn✭Oh man that would pose a BIG issue. Now I am glad they are working on it and much more relaxed about it. God, that poor guy!"What is better, to be born good or to overcome your evil nature through great effort”-Paarthurnax.0

Lalai✭✭✭✭Yeah, kinda scary for sure. Looks like it happened to a lot more people if you continue reading down the thread line too. Hopefully it's fixed soon and we can get back to the fun

Lazarus_Long✭✭✭I was looking forward to the early access but I knew that there would not be 100% up time for the servers. I even planned on spending a lot of time doing what we are doing now. I am very glad they are fixing the show stopper bugs and exploits before launch day. If a week from now something awful happened and I discovered ZOS knew about it now and didn't fix it I would be more irate than a Khajiit werewolf.Edited by Lazarus_Long on April 2, 2014 12:56PMThe List For Living - A guide for new or troubled players

✭This is to be expected. Early access usually means you get to reserve your name before the crowd. It has actually been going amazing (aside from the bugs) something serious must have happened.0 -

This is entirely predictable, as nearly all Early Starts in MMOs over the last decade or more have shown. Buying a pre-order on the basis of Early Start is really taking a gamble on not being affected by downtime, server crashes, game-stopping bugs etc., a gamble you're in all probability going to lose.Anyone else pre order and hope for early access? I don't care if they need to take time to make the game stable, but having ordered early for the stuff on the pre order list and not playing during this time has left me wondering if it was really worth it.

emergency maintenance is for emergency maintenance. They did not want to do it, they wanted a smooth of a roll out as possible. However, they felt they needed to take down the servers.
When it comes to early access or even launch day itself I pretty much expect this kind of thing to happen a few times in the first month or so.0 -
so early access = extended beta? as far as EU not being affected, I have no idea, i'm not that bright. evidentally EU code writing must be more accurate. English... /sigh0

I understand and I'm sorry your first impressions of ESO were impacted negatively by your experience. I suggest just doing something else for a little bit and just check in regularly for updates.
Jessica the community manager is pretty active on Reddit so you could quite possibly hop over there and see if you could get an answer out of her. Aside from that I'd just advise you to hold on and be all the happier when you're able to play again.
Greetings,
Beucko
