The afternoon has come, and I began setting up my account. Immediately I was getting an issue of setting up my display name. As soon as I set it and went to check if it’s available, the page goes back to the login page everytime. Was about ready to go complain, but I kept playing with it. Finally I got it.<\/p>\n
Being forced to enter my birthday in the European format to JUST freakin’ login was a bit of a pain. Got the code in from Green Man Gaming with no problem, and I’m now downloading. VERY slow compared to Wildstar. It’s 32GB. Why… does “Free To Play” mean “Make awesome things cost a shit ton of money” to developers?! Why? Why must there be greed in this world? All it does is hurt, not help. EDIT: Holy shit it’s done! At around 34%, it suddenly went really fast to about 67%. Just did my walk, came home and it’s sitting at 100%. Cool! Time to see what this game is like in FTP. The afternoon has come, and I began setting up my account. Immediately I was getting an issue of setting up my display name.

\nNow this isn’t what worries me. There’s three things that do.
\n— First thing, had just got my account setup and email authorized. They still have their subscription service (called their ‘ESO Plus’ option). It said how you’ll “have access to expansions” if you go subscription. That alone infuriates me.
\n— Second thing, when it said I could get the client from my control panel. I do, and below it.., it showed “The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited Public Test Server<\/strong>“. I see how to ‘log into the PTR’. It felt as if… this is my only option to play. Thank goodness it’s not<\/span>, and it’s just an optional thing.
\n— Third and forth things, these are on the launcher. I saw ‘Experience Boosters Now Available’. *facepalm* Pay to fucking Win? Really? Feel it may be soon time for a refund of that $15, due to that.
\nChecking it out, it’s part of their ‘Crown’ system. Basically, similar to the Gems in Guild Wars 2(except on the website and not ingame). Yet it also claims “ESO Plus\u2122 members receive a monthly allotment of Crowns”. And since this ‘ESO Plus’ thing costs money…
\nAlso, there was this ‘Train your mount’ screen. Does this mean all FTP mounts are going to go the speed of snails, while someone that has ESO Plus, runs by me like a fucking racecar while on a horse?<\/p>\n
\nWell, I’ll see what other ways they’re blocking fun (as it doesn’t cost money) in about… 15 or so hours (if this download ever fucking gets done).
\nAlso, if you close out the client and bring it back up, it has to verify. And this takes time as well. So I would say this download would possibly be done by sometime near the end of the day. It feels like I’m downloading GTA V again.<\/p>\n
\nBe making another post of my initial thoughts, like character creation and stuff (once I get done talking HTML and the future of these blogs with angry).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
