Elder Scrolls Online

[Crasic]

Anyone else sign up for the beta? Did anyone get in so far?

[Zanumas]

I just signed up today, haven't gotten in obviously.

[Nwahs]

I signed up today as well!

[Satiata]

Did'n someone say they are already in yesterday? Might have been trolling, though ;D
Either way, signed up. Let's see what's gonna happen. I'm also still waiting for my ffvix invite. Grr

That was someone in whoever we did that 16m SM TFB with.

Signed up aaaaaand...... not in. Just checked my e-mail.

Ugh... soo many mmos and games, I even put a hold on my Skyrim playtime...

I shall await your reports and reviews...

[Dieliane]

Signed up for Beta. And anyone saying they're in is lying. They have stated a few times that they aren't sending invites out yet and aren't entirely sure when they will. All you get is an email saying that you signed up.

Someone was trying to troll. Unless they work for Bethesda/Zenimax.

[Crasic]

I can't even find the confirmation email. Anyone have the email address that sends it out?

Disregard...I neglected to put a letter on the end of my email address...*face palm*

[Aegeta]

I signed up but nothing yet

[Soulless]

By the way, I signed up awhile ago with an "excellent" rated chance to get in. No word yet however.

[Dordrac]

I'm pretty sure the invites haven't gone out yet. They said they'd announce via Facebook/Twitter when they do the first round of invites.

I'll just leave this here to create more hype..

Many of them are epic. However.. #16 kills my alt-o-holicness/rolling.. just like The Secret Worl did. WE'RE GONNA BE CURED MY FELLOW ANONYMOUS ALT-O-HOLICS!

too bad that whole 'third person is crap' already turns me off immensely and I was close to just pressing the x ;)

I also don't understand why the hell he mentions GW2 out of all games as an example of 'combo skills'. the whole video sounds like the guy really isn't as much an 'MMO-pro' as he likes to think he is. he's more a skyrim fanboy and that's actually turning me off more than anything.


so, the game looks great, that video turns sati off, though :P

Ok, this all sounds awesome and sexy. But any educated viewer should be asking some real questions:
1. Mega server. How stable? What if it goes down? Do all 1 million players cry in horror, saying "fuck Zexla or whatever the hell teh company is called", all one million of them rushing to the official forums, only to crash those as well? How will the company deal with this inevitability? What steps are they taking to ensure it doesn't happen?

2. "Amazing Graphics" + 200 people on screen at a time: How will the game not melt most people's computers? I ask this sarcastically but seriously. If the game is this demanding, and you're throwing in the epic battles, what kind of super engine is this? There's a reason no game has done this before. Ask yourself why, and ask the game company how.

3. Fully customizable classes. How will it be balanced? Don't just assume you'll have full freedom. If so, they are going to have to be the first MMO to also never have balance issues, or you'll have a massive percentage of the community all rolling the same cookie cutter "claymore wielding, fireball throwing, healer assassin", or whatever is found by the theorycrafters to be OP and the best. Don't get me wrong, I'm also excited about this... but there are questions to ask before I spend money
