I apologize for having to post this question like a noob, but finding details on ESO has proven unusually frustrating for me. I was part of the February 25th invites, and I know it starts sometime on the 25th for me, but when exactly? Midnight Eastern Time? Midnight Pacific Time? Midnight Zulu Time!?

If you are invited into the beta this weekend you will get an email with the start time rather prominently mentioned in the text.

All start times for this game are in EST.

I cant seem to find the page that tells you how we are going to get the monkey on launch, does anyone remember or know for the beta invites this weekend who get the monkey on launch, how will we unlock it or will it automiatically unlock since its linked to my gamesas account already

The monkey from this weekend works just like the Imperial Edition goodies. On launch day, your in game character will receive an in game email with an attachment. These attachments are the vanity pets, Mara rings, etc. You can save these attachments to your inventory and then use them like regular inventory items to activate the monkey or mudcrab or whatever.

so let me check if im right...

I pre ordered the digital imperial edition, and since im invited to this weekends BETA on launch day ill start off with 3 vanity pets? the dino thing from explorers pack, the mudcrab, and the monkey

Yes, I believe you will be able to have all of the pets active at once, including any you activate from the Sorceror class. You could have a virtual traveling zoo at your side in the game.

Sweeeet haha honestly the pets I couldn't care lessab out since they do nothing, just glad I get the horse, ring and maps

I really wish I knew what the stats on the ring of mara is going to be!
