Here's to hoping all of the reasons you didn't buy were fixed!
*EDIT*
it appears that they released the message to soon and took it back so stay tuned!

So one is coming... it's just a matter of when now

"Here's to hoping all of the reasons you didn't buy were fixed"
Well, afaik none of my reasons were ever fixed.
I didn't buy mainly because of locking contents behind paywalls (imperial, mount, etc), no real auction house system, and the horrible insanely stupid inventory system which is a catastrophe for everyone who likes having a few alts.
My reasons are probably never gonna be fixed. Which is why I never spent a dime on this game, and probably never will.
But I am curious about WHAT they "fixed" for this upcoming free weekend, if anything at all.
that why you never bought/played? Seriously?
I dunno what to say then. That's just the most fluff reason I have ever heard IMHO
"This may hurt a little, but it's something you'll get used to. Relax....."
Yeah i mean having a shared bank and only needing items to be in your bank to craft things on any alt is terrible for players who like having alts... imagine pooling your resources from all your toons to craft what you want on any toon that has said skill... in no world could i imagine this actually being intuitive and good.
Update 6 had about 40 gigs of fixes and content. The inventory system is not an issue (I have 8 toons and manage it just fine). As far as the AH, the Guild Stores work fine and allow for some interesting networking and social aspects. The paywall is just part of MMOs lately... get use to it, you will see more.
I stopped playing for a while do to graphic and lag issues, but those are a thing of the past for me. The game runs great and Cyrodiil has been a blast to get back into! ONe complaint I have there is make more non-vet campaigns! The queues can be long for that one.
Last major effort to harvest PC gamer money before the console revenue comes in.
I left as soon as buy to play was announced.
I bought the game for what I thought would be world class AvA. Sadly AvA remains the most neglected and weakest part o the game.
I'm currently into THE WITCHER series.(single player rpg)
Any graphical, audio, or gameplay restrictions not seen in other mmos but found in FFXIV can be blamed on one thing.

For me, it doesn't matter if it was 1 byte or 50TB, as long as MY issues were not touched.
And btw, for us who likes having several crafter alts, inventory is ALWAYS important. If what I hear is true (max shared bank = 120 slots), then this system just isn't enough. If I had 8 toons like you, that would mean 15 slots per toon, average. Considering that the alts would probably need different ingreadients, and different tiers, it IS a problem.
And crafting mats is probably not the only stuff we would like to put in the bank, which makes it even worse.
This is the ONLY MMO I've ever played where each toons can't have their own, seperate bank slots, and frankly, I see no good excuse for that.
Paywalls just part of MMOs lately? Maybe, but not the ones I play. But then again, I tend to avoid F2P games. If that's the direction AAA MMOs are heading, then I'll stop playing them, because I refuse to support greed.
@Gestankfaust:
If you call a race and a mount "fluff", then I guess we'll have to disagree on what the term means. I would agree on the mount, IF we had a fairly easy way to get other mounts ingame, but according to Angry Joe's review on youtube, they're insanely priced and will therefore take an eternity to get.
wait, I thought ESO went F2P?
Nope.
B2P, not F2P. You need to buy it, but that's also all you need to pay. However, you can choose to subscribe, and/or to use their cash shop, but it's not forced.
Has anyone else received a further e-mail saying that somehow the code was applied and the account was reactivated without ever having done so? I received the invitation but never acted on it and now a confirmation e-mail appeared that its active. I hope my e-mail or the account(s) aren't compromised but i have no other signs that anything else is compromised at all
The sensible thing to do would be to start changing passwords just in case.
I only received the original info email.
Auto applied most likely.
I got an email about this event and as I understand it the code was auto applied by Zenimax to our account. No need to redeem code, just d/l and install game and go. I too had a moment of OH ****, but then I calmed down once I understood what they had done.
I don't play this, for the most part because I didn't like how Zenimax was doing things in Beta so I chose to not participate in beta (or subscribe later) even though I had applied for a beta key. I turned away for ESO and never looked back.
Then Zenimax applies a welcome back weekend key code to my account.... sneaky ....
Now my curiosity is peaked, maybe I will try this out finally, I have a Kinmate in LotRO that likes ESO so much he plays ESO now and doesn't stop in LotRO any more lol.....perhaps I shall check this out......

What a strange comment. You dont like people to do content with?
TSW - AoC - Aion - WOW - EVE - Fallen Earth - Co - Rift - || XNA C# Java Development
Very strange. Maybe he feels he is in an exclusive club for paying a sub when he has the option not too and yet still have access to the same exact content? Also strange that he keeps claiming ESO is F2P. Usually the ESO fans are the first ones to go apeshit if someone mentions ESO and F2P in the same sentence.

I got the account reactivation which is automatic I guess.
I won't bite at this free weekend offer because I don't want to download 80 gb just to uninstall it in a few days. They never fixed the issue I have with the archaic inventory system. How hard would it be to put a mat only bag in the system to free up main inventory space for other things? Anyway I have used Paul Sage's snarky advice to watch tv instead of playing ESO. I also didn't like the constant money grabs for short term profit that ZOS seems to like to do. They lost me as a customer in beta and unfortunately have not done anything that would get me back.
Come on. People sampling the game for a free weekend won't be at the level where vets can play with them. They will, however, be able to create free accounts and spam chat with trolling.
yeah, the limited inventory/bank space is a problem if you have 8 alts you play (no idea why you would need that many but hey!). personally, i have just one alt i play and the rest serve as mules to hold certain things.
yes it's annoying to do that but it wont be the first time i have done it in an mmo.
