The Elder Scrolls Online

[Riftaxe]

is currently having a stress test this weekend, if you don't already have a beta key you can pick one up at

Curse Gaming.

You will need a free account there, but if you're a former WOW player you probably already have one anyways

1. I'm in

So far, so good. Fun hearing some of the well-known actors who worked on this game, including John Cleese.

2. Me too

This is the third beta for this game I've participated in. I was happy I got to keep my character from the previous beta.

3. Has the NDA been lifted?

If so is it any good?

4. For the media, yes...for the public, no idea.

Not risking it, I'll be non-specific. I'm not impressed. The sacrifices necessary to make an MMO of Elder Scrolls has convinced me fairly quickly that they should have contemplated making something closer to the previous material in party-multiplay...smaller groups in a more interactive and immersive world.

It feels too much like every other MMO ever made, not enough like The Elder Scrolls excepting its adherence to the same source material.

I don't want to play with 40 people in a world where I can do very little interaction and read few books in a world where I am largely constrained in where I can go. I want to be able to play something that plays like Skyrim or Oblivion or even Morrowind with my 5 closest friends.

5. Ah thank you...

Well, I'll keep looking at other options then.

6. Good point about the NDA

So I guess it would not be appropriate to post any comments about specific details...

7. I got in

to bad I read my email late so I only got to play for a little while. I look forward to this game I hope the end game RVR will be fun. I used to love playing DAOC in relic raids. Me and my friends had a little guild and we would have a blast joining in with 100 other people for massive all day battles. I miss playing till my eyes bled.

8. I have ONE invite to give out for the beta test this weekend (Feb 28-March 2)

if anyone's interested (Friday noon to Sunday one minute before midnight.)

edited to add: PM me your email if interested.
(It says I can invite "a" friend, but when I click on their provided link I get a page where entering several emails is possible.)

NO NDA for this beta test, by the way.
"We encourage you to post the best screenshots and videos from your adventure! You're not required to follow a Non-Disclosure Agreement during this test, so share your favorite moments with the world. "
