I made the unfortunate mistake of purchasing the game on GMG without knowing that early access didn't really mean early access... Now I'm stuck with a 3 day early access while my friends and guild members will all be starting with the 5 day early access and I'll be left with no way at all to catch up. What's up with this early access inconsistency? Why wasn't I warned that there would be two different starting times? I'm overall very disappointed with how I was misled...

If anyone has been able to fix this problem please let me know how.

It was clearly marked in thier defence. They did annouce it as such all over twitter etc.

Still I feel your pain.

If it make you feel any better those of us with 5 days only get 4.5 days in NA. NA server opens 7pm PST on 3rd NOT 4th.

Can you cancel your order? If so purchase the digital version on the official ESO site, i'm pretty sure you can still get the 5 day early access.

Well, at least you have early access.

this

upgrade to imperial through GMG?

Yeah, not sure how you were mislead to be honest. A little bit of research before buying doesn't hurt.

I didn't want to risk hassles, so went direct through the official site.

I think yesterday was last day Explorer Pack was given out. No more pre order bonuses to be had. Pls correct me if this is wrong.

My reasoning exactly. Though i do empathize.

No, all pre-orders qualify for the Explorer Pack, regardless of when it was ordered.

Both versions have 5 day early access.

Cant be done. He can only do so on the 4th from official site.

How in the world am I supposed to guess that when it says "early access" it doesn't really mean the same thing?

3rd party retailers only got 5 days on imperial from day 1.


It was clearly labeled on GMG.com. I bought 2 imperal editions there the 2nd was going to go syandard but did not because it only said 3 days

I feel for you, but there is information out there on the main website explaining what you get with certain purchases.

Same

Never used to like digital versions, but these days they're pretty good.

But to the op, I can't see why you're disappointed with the way it was handled, it seems to be you that made the error in judgement.

yeah 3 for normal one at 3rd party ones is ok.

its 5 for normal ones on the official site.
