I don't know why the hell they don't just register the system your using instead of the IP address. Other games such as STO use that and It works great.

At this point, I'm willing to risk having my account stolen, if I could just play.

Thanks for the heads up. I just tried and got in as well.

guess I got an email about my first post but no email for access code

I get the code, but even after I enter it; it says the attempt faile
too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

/rant
This is a huge load of crap! I'm locked out of the only computer I ever play on and no code is being sent to my email. I can not play a game I'm paying a subscription for. This is total BS. Stupidest thing ever! Like the game but only have limited time to play and I'm not going to sub to something that I get locked out of constantly.
Fix this crap!
/rant off

Please fix this system. I was playing on EU, stopped to have dinner, went back to play again and was told that my computer was not authorized to log into my account and I was being sent an authorization code.

Seriously?

Ok, so this has been a problem for 2 days and it is not getting fixed? This is not a minor issue. It is preventing people from playing. If you don't know how to fix the problem, disable the feature until you do.

Made the mistake of buying new PC parts and putting together a new rig, gleefully installed ESO on my new PC hoping to get in, need a code. Still haven't received a single email, even from weeks prior. I'm disappointed this still hasn't been addressed.

This is still not working.


Every time I contact support they say the same thing.

We are not getting the emails. They are not being sent.

Maybe ZeniMax got tired of Elder Scrolls and in order to make sure people don't contact them demanding more, they want to make people ES [/end sarcasm]. On more serious note, it seems like they are committing a suicide as a company. They already pissed off thousands of people by preventing them from playing the game (subscription errors, etc.), but now they are alienating the part of community that got a chance to appreciate the game. In the end they are pissing everyone off and instead of salvaging what they can they are just adding fuel to the fire and let themselves roast.

I been trying for the last 3 hrs no email,funnily enough I got in once today by just trying to login again?

Although I am having issues I'm not pissed off, people need to learn how to handle things better. No game, let alone an MMO is without it's share of issues at launch / post launch, I figure they're doing what they can and didn't expect to have this much to deal with out of the gate. Too many people jump on the "well this is f***ed" boat throwing negative comments everywhere, they aren't committing suicide, they aren't roasting themselves, WoW's launch was far from perfect, and look at it.

Yes, but Wow is now what, 10 years old? Since their launch there have been hundreds of MMOs out, and that's a lot of time to learn based on other games. Some of the mistakes made by ZeniMax could have been forgiven 10 years ago, but should not have happened to this degree at this point. I mean hell, I am saying mistakes, but in truth a lot of those "mistakes" are conscious decisions of the company, that have backfired due to lack the foresight. And yes, the last statement is an assumption, but it's based on the way they are handling things since launch. The sad excuse of a support system, bugs that are persistent since early beta (some that I have reported myself back then, that remained), lack of updates and feedback from the company, new features that further hamper players (authenticator email that doesn't work properly). It feels like they just tried to cramp as much stuff as they could without properly thinking it through, applying it, or even testing it before execution. And yes, a lot of it is my own opinion BASED on their actions. There are issues associated with a new game launch, and there are issues associated with poor planning and poorer execution that at this point, should not have place from an established company such as ZeniMax.

There is a difference between putting systems in place and testing them, and then having vast numbers of people all using / hitting those systems all at once. Blizzard, the company that made WoW, has ten years of experience + didn't expect diablo 3 to sell so hard, despite pre order numbers that anyone could easily point out to them, they only had x numbers of servers ready and couldn't handle launch night. I think the same situation applies to ESO and Zenimax, they had systems lined up, and instantly got overwhelmed due to the sheer number of players playing / reporting / using most of their systems daily. I wouldn't say that mistakes that happened in the past shouldn't happen, saying "WoW had bugs ten years ago, you'd think people would know how to make a game without bugs right now, idiots." Is a rather ridiculous view point, there will always be issues, and at the same time these people wanting hourly updates are also ridiculous. Yes it's good to know what is going on, but instead of assuming they are doing nothing, and ignoring us, one should assume ( if we're to make assumptions) that they are hard at work doing multiple things like, Increasing their servers, tweaking their systems, implementing more systems, hiring on even more staff, ect. There are multiple arguments for "oh this company did that, they should too" but then the company and ESO loses it's individuality, what makes it different. In a world of clones, sometimes it's good to stand above the criticism and fight until your system works, and people learn to like it, too many people want "another WoW" why do MMO's always have to be the next WoW, or the WoW killer, people think to much in extremes, they figure it'll either kill WoW or it'll go F2P and bust.

and like I said, Blizzard poorly executed the diablo 3 launch despite staggering pre order numbers, and they are very very well established and should have known better. Everyone still loves them just the same.
