So I got off work, ate supper, opened a cold one, and sat down to jump into Tamriel. I decided to roll a new character, Ra'Dakyhg, a Khajiit with the dominion. Got my character and went to the Wailing Prison where I soon discovered ...

More people in the zone than I've ever seen before. I mean, I walked through it. There were no enemies to fight because - as the Beach Boys didn't say - there was two gamers for every atronach. There was nothing alive in that zone was sucking down oxygen on the other side of a toon.

By the time I hit Vulkhal Guard, it was a Macy's sale on Black Friday. I moved quickly to find SugarPaws and get the hell out of there, only to find dozens more at my new destination. Wow. There are more people online tonight than the first day of the five day early access.

Can you imagine what it will be like on 4.4?

Playing on a PC, NA Server, since that very first day ...

    Well, the game just got almost all of its pre order players into it today and yesterday with the 3 day early access. Mostly today as some had to download it and install it. On 4.4 i believe its going to be madness and you will see tons of players everywhere!

    I'm both looking forward to and dreading the release date. Looking forward to it because this game will finally not be exclusive anymore. Everyone who wants to will be in. Dreading because, yeah, it will be crowded. At this point, I'm hoping the staggered release dates were enough to prevent the servers from breaking entirely.

    Thank goodness we had a head start, right? :)
    Living vicariously through my characters.

    My Girls:
    "If you were trapped in your house for, say, a year, how would you pass the time?"

    Nephikah the Houseless, dunmer assassin: "I suppose I could use the break. I have a lot of business holdings now that need management."
    Swum-Many-Waters, elderly argonian healer: "I think that I would enjoy writing a memoir."
    Silh'ki, khajiit warrior-chef: "Would this one be able to go outside, to the nearby river? It's hard to fish without water!"
    Peregrine Huntress, bosmer hunter: "Who is forcing me to stay inside, and where can I find them?"
    Lorenyawe, altmer mechanist: "And why would I want to go outside in the first place? Too much to be done in the workshop."
    Lorelai Magpie, breton master thief: "I'd go nuts. Lucky for me, I have a little experience sneaking out!"
    Rasheda the Burning Heart, redguard knight: "I would continue my training to keep my skills sharp."
    Hex-Eye Azabi, khajiit daedric priestess: "I suppose it would be lucky, then, that I built a shrine to Mephala in my backyard."
    Yngva Stormhammer, nord bandit (reformed...ish): "I hate being inside even when I'm not forced to be. GET. ME. OUT."
    Madam Argentia, vampire dunmer aristocrat: "I suppose it would be more of the same. I have a rather... contentious relationship with the sun."
    Mazie gra-Bolga, orc scout: "Uh... I'd have to house train my bear..."
    Felicia the Wanderer, imperial witch-for-hire: "What Lorelai said."
    Calico Jaka-dra, retired khajiit pirate: "This one would like a rest from her grand adventures. Her jewel shop runs out of stock!"
    Shimmerbeam, blind altmer psijic: "Provided that I am confined to Artaeum, I do not think I will want for things to occupy my time."
    Shauna Blackfire, redguard necromancer: "Sounds like paradise. I hate people."
    Kirniel the Undying, cursed bosmer warrior: "I would feel useless, not being able to fight."
    Echoes-from-Dragons, argonian who thinks she's a dragon: "All the better to count my hoard!"
