I signed up. The new trailer, which I don't know how to post, looks cool. Not real game footage, but looks cool.

I signed up too. Can we cite "Church of Alvis" as a guild under the guild entry field to increase our chances of a group invite?

[Marrkin]

I tried to sign up 3 times last night and all my info was wiped all 3 times. I'll try again tonight. I had an "excellent" rating for my invite meter.... would love to get in on this.

I had to download Firefox, then it let me in. Under the guild tab I put our guild and our website. The meter was maxed out for my chance, I clicked everything but pvp, which increased my chances.

[Marrkin]

OK, I'll definitely give it another run tonight.

Signed up. Had "Excellent" acceptance rating.

Edit: watch us get picked for this AND Marvel at the same time...

OK, signed up while on lunch... it worked this time!

[Leth]

signed up.

[Happyclam]

Signed up as well. I told them Jounville would give them excellent oral if they picked me, so my chances were excellent.

I hope so. I can make time for both.

I thought this part from an IGN article was pretty cool.

My four or so hours of hands-on gameplay in ESO brimmed with moments like these, and the choices felt much more meaningful than the simple light/dark options of Star Wars: The Old Republic. Even better, you don't have to worry about your punky leveling buddy forcing story decisions on you that you don't want to make. I saw this most prominently when a colleague I was grouped with made different decisions as to how to handle a poisoned ship captain; I gave her an antidote and let her live, she let her die. But even though we were grouped and in the same room, I saw events unfold differently, and later, the captain came to my aid when I needed her help. I'm looking forward to seeing how it unfolds throughout the whole game, as I found that ESO offered a rewarding single player storyline that never comes close to ditching social elements so vital to MMOs. In fact, with open mob tagging, shared servers, and spell combos that require two or more players, it promotes it.

I like the part about spell combos at require 2 players to cast

EQ2 had those. They called them heroic opportunities and they had variable effects depending on which class initiated it, which one spawned and which classes were in the group, assuming you complete the combo correctly.

I think LOTRO has those as well. You'd be in an instance, cast a fellowship combo then all of a sudden a huge ent comes and smashes the target. Except IIRC it seemed to happen pretty randomly - I'd hope that ESO handles these in a less haphazard fashion.

On my birfday yo..... I know what my plans are now

[Dashl]

I might wait until June and try a console version.

[Marrkin]

Its possible I may as well. Based on the beta I wasn't too hip on the controls on my PC. Probably because I was so used to skyrim with a controller. It'll help if I can get into one more beta.

I did. This weekend will be tough for me, but not altogether inconceivable that I will be available Saturday evening. So I may be giving er a whirl.
