Hope so, too @logan69. We'll post in this thread as soon as the email goes out.

Hey folks, we understand this is not ideal for those of you who opted into the PC/Mac-to-console transfer and are in the Oceanic regions, but the game key codes will be going out in the early afternoon Eastern Time. It will not be before then. We'll be sending out an email notifying you that the code is available. As soon as that mailer goes out, you will be able to use the code and begin dowloading the ESOTU game client. Your transferred characters will be there waiting for you.

Great that the time zos choose to sends these codes out only suits NA players... Sod all the EU and +gmt players

I am still waiting for my code too - the game launches in just over 10 hours! Its utterly ridiculous - why has it been left this late to allow us to pre-download?? Its a 60GB download for goodness sake! Thanks Zenimax for giving crap service to players like me who have ALSO PAID for the game originally on PC and another £20 for this transfer to console!! Obviously you dont give a crap!!

This is ridiculous! Why do the people who have paid for this game since the beginning get treated so poorly by ZOS?! I would have paid more than the $20 just to be given the opportunity to download the game before it goes live!! I am so irritated!!

Actually it does make some sense. All the one's getting in now bought game for first time so they get in first. You guys have the game on PC/MAC so they look at you as already a loyal customer and will slide you in after the new loyal customers.

You may replace loyal with putz if you like!

lol Gotta love the poor organisation of this

I mean, who seriously sat down in that meeting and said "ok folks, we'll have the codes ready 2 hours AFTER launch in Australia. Everyone cool with that?"

I think our characters are going to be waiting a very long time....

I would've been happier if all the emails said 'Soon' *tm instead of an unrealistic date.

wlindop68b16_ESO · June 2015

This is from the 'Your account copy is complete' email I got last week:

"We will be sending your digital code for The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited on June 8th. We understand the desire to download the game on your console of choice earlier. Unfortunately, we are unable to offer a code to pre-load due to console limitations."

What the heck does that last line mean when the pre-ordered digital versions can be pre-downloaded now??!!

symonator · June 2015

They are not online are they? Unless your in new zealand.

Turv3y · June 2015

This is the sloppiest bunch of nonsense I've ever had the displeasure of being a part of. For shame.

JoffyToffy69 · June 2015

Do they even have a PR sector?
They need to be reviewed

I can't see them doing this. Perhaps with the thieves guild/dark brotherhood questlines - as they are a big thing for many people coming from consoles - but not with any new zones...

Besides - they would have announced something like this to get more people hyped about console release.

However... they might have something shortly after console release - they have to announce SOMETHING at E3, right?

Local Time for ZOS - 08:50
Monday, 8 June 2015 (EDT)
Time in Cockeysville, MD, USA

That means, at absolute BEST you'll get the codes in 3 hours 11 minutes.

My money is on about a 2.00 pm release, so in 5 hours and 11 minutes time

With a regional launch you think it would of been sent atleast by these standards or sorted out a week ago lol everyone else has it downloaded.

The regional launch is probably more to do with how sony and microsoft work - with the code release being ZOSs responsibility...

They might focus on how amazing fallout 4 is and slowly ignore us.....

Yep, pretty crazy... Last thing ZOS needs is more bad PR. They just keep doing it to themselves unfortunately.

SantieClaws · June 2015

I can only assume that they need to send the e-mail out during office hours when they can keep an eye on it. Things can go horribly wrong with bulk e-mails sometimes.

Saying that would have been better if they could have done it the day before but then maybe there are other good reasons why that was not possible.

I think it's more of a 'last minute thought' rather than organised planning.

Always taken it as they underestimate the community and believe they are also doing it for the best.

Naivefanboi · June 2015

Maybe its because of those mysterious "console limitations " as per our trasnfer confirmation email ....

So @ZOS_JessicaFolsom do think that is ok for all of us eu players who backed this game back when launched on pc who decided to take up the offer of the character copy and account transfer get a code so later for us to download the game ?, i am from england and i would like to know at what time will i get my code that i paid for ?,sick of the fact that as allways good old usa get everything first and us in the eu get turned over like we mean nothing to zenimax

.

I am so,so annoyed by this fact it is such utter nonsense !. start sending out the dam codes so that we get started downloading so we can actualy manage to play at our launch time here at midnight in england, i have 80mbps download and 20upload so i wont have a problem getting 60gb fast, but i think and speak out for the rest of england and europe who have slow download speed who should have been given the dam codes days ago and at very least early today on the 8th.

You dont like to answer people who have honest words though do you zenimax ?, we want a dam answer we backed this game on pc and just want our codes it is not all just about america the whole dam time.

Nope because that would entail both companies thinking exactly alike for once lol.
Plus this helps their business because you ither bought a console or were a pre console player.
You will now buy crowns and subscription through their store and they take a cut im sure.

I was really irritated about the whole mess, but now I am just laughing about it. 3 p.m. here in sweden and still no code. I understand that it will be afternoon eastern time which will put it late in the evening here by the time I even receive the code. I may even be asleep lol. What confuses me is that they have had months to prepare for this launch. You would think all the little details would have been worked out in time for people to take advantage of the release time. Well, no sense in getting upset over it anymore. We might get in in time for the server to come down for maintenance

Raheem · June 2015

Sigh well off to home and bed. guess ill be on wed sometime since its gonna take all night after I wake up to download

wlindop68b16_ESO · June 2015

Possible another 4-5 hours then, 6pm ish here in the UK. Thanks for letting us know however Zenimax should have done this a whole lot better - it leaves European customers with a 60GB download during the evening, peak internet usage time, just a few hours before launch. We who took the transfer option have still paid money for this and are still pre-order customers for console, actually paying more money overall than new customers. We should have been able to pre-download the same as those who pre-prdered the digital version from the PS Store.
