Do we need to make new accounts for it?

The only account you need is the one at the official site where you registred your game/make an new one there if you got no game and look if you are allowed to sign in.

Kudos OP!

I appreciate it - but I'm saving myself for Sunday

All that patching and still appears to run in Borderless mode and not true full screen. Oh well, still plenty of time left.

If I created an account (I never did any beta) and then bought the game, any idea why I can't log in? It tells me that my password is incorrect but even after resetting it, it says the same thing. Anyone else besides the other person and I having this problem?

The forums are down, so you get the "incorrect password" message.

This is because their website programmer is a noob and didn't come up with a unique message to differentiate "forums down" from "bad login info".

Cheers. That makes sense. It's just weird in that it makes it sound like you're the problem. I appreciate it.

I can log into my account page just fine. You may want to contact support.

I did that. They called me back pretty quickly (props to them) and he didn't really have an answer. He saw that my account was there and active and chalked it up to them working on servers. I am hoping that is the case. Guy was very friendly and tried to be helpful.........but wasn't helpful. He gets half credit.

Huh? They just anounced that the website/forum will be down sometimes at this week for maintenance.

That was a quick patch - 45Mbps. Wife's B-day is Sunday so it's highly likely that I'll miss one day of AE.

Maybe try logging in again later today or tomorrow. If you're not able to by Saturday, I'd definitely give them another call.

Same for me. But then i don't ever logout and i made my account with ZOS as soon as they offered them. The accounts made very recently might be getting formalized or w/e the term is for it.

I think there may be a misunderstanding here, the ESO account itself can be logged into, but the forums can't.

How big is today's update?

I don't know about that.

I go there: elderscrollsonline.com

I click on the "account" tab, fifth from the left..........and I can't log into that. Is that a forum? I thought it was the account through which I access information about my.........account.

I was thinking of forums.elderscrollsonline.com. I was able to log into my account just fine.

I'm having the same problem.

Glad I'm not alone. I'm guessing it will pass as Sunday draws near.

like a gulstone ...
