Is blocking me from reading any official ESO website articles or news, please get rid of this pointless age verification...

Is bugged. You select any date of birth even if in the 1900's....normally it lets you past but now it just reloads page back to home...and never opens article...

    Maybe you will have to wait till you are of age. :p

    Seriously now, have you tried clearing the browsing data/history? That would include cookies. That happened to me once and all you ave to do is clear the browsing data/history.

    Same here. I enter my DoB as always, but now redirected to the same age verification page. Again and again.

    I tried in a private browser window, it doesn't help. So it's not browser cookies or something. It's a server issue.

    Different browser? That is weird. You did clear everything correct? Just making sure. Also you were not on a Zenimax/Bethesda page when clearing the browser? This is all I can think of. Sorry if I can't be of more help. I hope you get it solved or someone else comes up with a better idea.

    It was like this yesterday too. I was going to post something in a support forum, but then it mysteriously started working again.

    Frankly, the age gate should just go away. All it does is annoy us, and it's not like any 18+ content is posted in any of the news articles anyway.

    Using my VPN (Nord VPN) got me past the stupid thing. It kept reloading over and over to the same page...

    "Dear internet,

    Do you and your creators really think anyone out there is providing their actual birthdate on Age Verification pages? Please stop pretending that this is an effective barrier to entry, and if it is born of some archaic law that makes it required, please update the laws to more accurately reflect reality.

    Love,

    Yours Truly"

    Yes it's pointless and stupid, but they can't just get rid of it. Without it, people can raise a big stink over how ZoS is corrupting youth or some such and cause them a whole mess of legal and PR problems. Age gates are little more than a minor annoyance in comparison.

    Same issue. Age Verification is on a continuous loop.

    Clear cache and cookes? yep
    Try a different browser? yep
    Reboot machine? yepper.

    I am currently unable to read official news and announcements.
  • Star_Wanderer
    Yeah.... absolutely nothing on the website is readable. Unless you count the home page as a website. Anything beyond the home page is unreachable in any browser as it defaults to the age verification master loop.

    Yep been happening with me, I use Vivaldi. The only one that worked but never took me to date, took me right to the website was EDGE and I hate EDGE. Glad it wasn't my browser.

    *giggling* Well, since I'm nearly 71, and my doctor just told me I could probably live to be 120 (with three grandparents who were 100 or more when they died), I sure hope I can be playing some wonderful game or other when I get there!

    Get rid of it, please.
