    I just noticed the same thing when I tried to get someone I know to try the game. @ZOS_GinaBruno any idea when this will become available?

    It would be very helpful for them to put a time and time-zone into that announcement. Especially because ZOS is based in the USA and typically runs off EST time, which is quite a long way behind most of the world. For example I'm in the UK, so already behind a lot of the world and early morning for America is late afternoon for me - so if they say something is starting on a specific day it typically means late afternoon/evening for me, even if they do it as soon as they get into work. For people further East it could actually be the morning of the next day.

    Having said that the event should be starting soon, if it hasn't already, because it's about 11am their time.

    The Free Play Event will begin on Thursday, December 6 and will run through Tuesday, December 11. During this period, you
    will not be able to play because your ping will be even worse than usual and and after many disconnections, you will be forced to do something else, like post messages on this forum, for example ...

    That's why I'm here ! :'(

    On the account creation page it does say you can play for free now so I created a new account for my girlfriend to play. When she logs into the account there is nothing showing she is on a free trial. She only has the option to redeem a code or buy the game. Hopefully this will get sorted out so she can play and leave me alone while I play.

    Yeah... Created an account for my boy, and I cant seem to do *** with it. Wont let him sign into forums, wont let him download the game, sure as hell wont let him play it.

    Was there a point to this?
    Player 1 "You all suck, dont you know how to play this game?"
    Player 2 "Huh?"
    Player 1 "just run passed everything!"
    Player 3 "We could just kill them on the way"
    Player 4 "Why am I 89% of total DPS, one of the only ones that Qued as DPS, and yet in a group with 3 other DPS that cant seem to kill the basic mobs in a normal dungeon, and being told I suck?"
    Player 1 "Whatever, GFL"
    Player 1 has left the group...

    Buy to Play which is very different than Free to Play. It is not semantics or splitting hairs either.

    I had to create a NEW account for my kid to play. The one I made the other day was not flagged for the free event? If this makes scene. Which means I had to create a new Email Address for him as well, and user name.
