While quoting the FAQ on another thread, I notice that the launch day was change yesterday, which I completely understand the reason and really have no issues with it:

The Elder Scrolls Online officially launches on 4.4.14 worldwide for PC and Mac, and in June 2014 on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

More specifically, the following lists the location, time, and date for the worldwide PC and Mac launch:

Sydney, Australia: 10:00 AM AEDT, Friday, April 4th

So of course I check the Early Access start times, to see if they have also been change to compensate for the Launch change:

But there was no change, and I'm also fine with this, but my question is, should they have also change the EA times to grant the 5/3 days already advertise? Instead of just shorting it by 12 hours?

Maybe is an oversight or maybe is not, as both post were edited on the same day 3/26/14, 12 minutes apart. Did they made a mistake or they didn't?

Not trying to troll or cause a flame war, just wanted to ask what everyone think about this and if they should just change the advertisemant to:

Pre-order the Imperial Edition and get 4.5 days of early access!

What do you all think about this?

Disclaimer: I could really care less about the 12 hour change. I do have a pre-order on the Imperial Edition and i personally don't feel cheated in anyway.

The game really starts when the first players enter it , that means they must be ready for that time the most.

Maybe they are just not ready to cut 12 hours of that time of preparation.

I don't want to stir anything up either, but I would like to see the early access's start at 7pm as well. I have to work Sunday morning. I have a crap job that makes me work weekends (retail). I know ZOS can never make everyone happy, but I know when I come home Sat night if EA opened then I would get to stay up all night and play =P

That's just my 2 cents though.

Not to be a nit-picker, but doesn't this technically make it 4 1/2 days early access?

While i see how you would want to jump in as soon as you can, i can't see them catering to people due to there real life schedule. That would make allot of people angry kitties. rawr

also the 12 hour change doesnt bug me none. I didnt pay for the imperial edition just for early access, i paid for the goodies and statue so i can add to my nerd collection. The early access is just a bonus to me that isnt that big of deal, others may think otherwise though.

Ya I got the statue and book too . I know they can't cater to everyone hence my, "I know ZOS can never make everyone happy". I was merely stating that if they moved the other 2 EA's back 12 hours like they did the actual release people we will have a little more time to play over the weekend and I can stay up all night on Sat!!

yes it does.
