Please don't lock right now. I am trying to go onto the ESO forums but for what ever reason they are down. I want to buy this game now, but just wanted to ask a few questions, which I can't ask because the ESO forums are down.

So my questions are, is Altmer and Argonians fun to play?

What happens when you die?

How many accounts or should I say player characters can I have? Can I play an Altmer character one day, then later play my Argonian and go back and forth between the two if I wish?

If I get the Collectors edition, do I have to play an Imperium, or can I save him for later?

Just like to see how people are finding the game. Just wish the ESO forums were up and not down.

The forums aren't down. They just moved to its official location since the game finally released.

For your last question, it gives you the option to play as an Imperial. You aren't not forced to play as one.

Thanks for the quick reply, I have went there. They are like a beige/brown background. I either get empty pages, or an error message saying too many people. That gets me worried. If a forum is getting an error for overload or too many people how is the game?

I just want to make sure if in 10 minutes I buy ESO I can't log in. I have seen one post about someone paying for it, but getting no 30 day code. I click on it and go back to the main section of the forums. So something is wrong there, at least for me.

I don't have to play an Imperial. That is good. Can I choose to be an Imperial later? How many accounts or characters can you have?

Ok, I tried to sign in. I guess you need a different account than what we use here. I try to register and it asks for an Invintation number. What is that? Do I get it when and if I buy the game?

Yeah, it's a separate forum from this one, now. You do need to have bought the game to log in to the ESO forums, but my understanding is that you can still view the forum without an account.
