    Then no one is disappointed.

    And please don't reply with the proposal to stop playing TESO, that is not a solution but an attemt to run away from a problem.

    It's already been postponed by a week which is why i'm scratching my head as to why zos is not offering refunds to a product it is struggling to deliver.Give you your are money back then you can't complain.

    And what ever happens once something is paid for the customer is always right.

    Some people referring to the TOS.
    The only reason all those clauses are in there (and not just for ESO... Every MMO basically), is because us as the consumers allow it.

    Interesting perspective - apply them to a car, or a home appliance. A laptop, or a console. "Yeah you bought this but we don't accept any responsibility if it doesn't work when you get it home, or if it stops working after a while. And we offer no guarantees that we will fix it, and no liability that the fixes will actually work or compensation in the event they don't"

    Do you think companies that made things other than games would stay in business if they operated like that?

    Not saying software is exactly the same thing. But it's a perspective to consider maybe.

    yep, each major update is taking ~15-20 hours to settle everything down.. So relax and come back next day. They will fix major things until then.

    Also, you must remember it is hard to test things currently with the virus going around

    Apparently an extra week-long delayed release and Quality Assurance to avoid things like this didn't help that either, right?

    Case and point, Bethesda/Zenimax have quite the bad track record going on over the last few years and it also doesn't help that ESO has been plagued with issues and bugs piling up, and many not fixed for 6+ years. Does the team have drive and merit to fix the game and provide a better quality product? I believe so, but it feels like ESO has outgrown it's developer and they are in over their heads in need of some major help. I hope I am wrong but seems it's only going to get worse until something changes internally with the company.

    12pm EDT update: At this time, we are estimating to re-open the PC NA/EU megaservers within the hour. For visibility, the issue we were fixing was everyone having access to the Greymoor Chapter despite not having purchased it. Once we re-open, anyone who logged in this morning that has not purchased Greymoor will still see it as "owned" in the Crown Store; this is a UI error, and if you'd like to purchase the Chapter, you'll simply need to manually navigate to the website to purchase. Thanks again for everyone's patience while we worked through this issue. We'll let you know as soon as we open.

    Here comes the queues

    The other thread doesn't have the sudden fifteen-thirtythree year legal (ac) global consumer expert lawyers. Wonder if this one does, or will and see the free googled consultations being provided.

    Honestly - these threads (no matter the mmo) are the best thing about new content releases/updates.

    Yes i would really want a working game.. Too bad that ZOS isn't able to deliver on that note!

    Maybe they should keep the servers down for 2 weeks just to make the game playable?

    Shame there is no way to do one megaserver at a time so you at least don't break everything at once :eyeroll:

    That being said the launch day poopstorm is pretty much part of the experience now; I'd be scared and confused if it just worked.

    There’s a great difference between letting them think they’re right and the customer actually being right, no? ;)

    In any case I think everyone should do a stint in customer service just to get a good feel for how petty some people can be.
