I just bought into the early bird but am super supportive of this project and think they have something special!

Well the team is under no obligation to open up the servers at all so the fact that they tried to do just that is great. There are many of us that are backers who have never been able to get into a test so I have no sympathy for someone who just wanted to 'check it out' who is not a backer.
If you have never experienced a test before then I can see the confusion as to the issues.
What happened is actually pretty normal. Stress testing is server and systems testing. Nothing more.

I never got to play this weekend but I was able to make a character and was excited but
I was a low level backer so never expected to get in at this stage anyways.
Not sure why some people are upset. Those of us that have been here for a long time
just want the game to be good. Not rushed.
This was test and the team probably gained very valuable information.
Carry on guys your fans will wait!

Can't come soon enough!

Confirmed

Got a new computer

I'm ready

Just bought Blackwood Collection for ESO. I had up to Summerset only so it has been awhile. So far so good. Pretty fun so far and I like that I can start off my character where I want to.

Welcome to the Jungle!

I game that lets me play the way I want. I backed this because it gives me options.

Welcome!
