Hey guys, I won't be able to get ESO tonight but if I get it tomorrow, will I still get to participate in what early access is still left? Also, will I be able to choose any race in any alliance, etc? I know that prepurchasing from a different site gives 3 days early access as well as the other stuff, but I'm also unsure if there is a cutoff for that.

Thanks!

Bump, please!

One final, shameless bump before I cry myself to sleep while these forums move away...

Just to restate my question, is there an actual cutoff for preorder?

I believe you can pre-order tomorrow and jump right in with the early access benefits

You're likely not getting any response because no one knows.

The preorder sites are still up, but I'd work on the assumption that they're taking them down in either an hour (midnight by their time zone) or when Early Access opens at 7 EDT. I suggest you go NOW if you want the preorder bonuses (aka the race thing), whether it's digital download or reserving a copy in-store.

Good luck.

Thanks, I'll see what I can do, but if all else fails and I am cutoff then I guess I may have to wait...

I was told that all you need is the Early Access code to sign on tomorrow when it starts. The actual time it starts is a bit vague, but seems to be 7am EST. Gamestop preorders will mail an email tomorrow morning which contains your preaccess codes. Order direct from Bethesda, and I think Steam, and you get your preacess code right after the order is complete. Now GameStop said their preacess codes will not be released until 7am EST. I think this is standard for all dealers. There is some technicality involving the difference between a online download versus a hard copy purchase, but I can't imagine it will be any different.

Now, being in Beta, I have already downloaded and updated the client without the Early Access code, so maybe Beta users automatically get Early Access???
