I am a 1.0 player who didn't have to pay for the game, but I did anyway to support the cause and get early access. Early access to what?? Created my main, got him to level 22, had to log out for maintenance on Sunday afternoon and haven't been able to get back onto my server since. I am currently leveling a char on a JP server that I have NO INTENTION OF PLAYING. And I know I am not alone. To say this is frustrating is an understatement. A friend asked me if I liked the game, I said I did when I could play, but advised him NOT to purchase the game for at least a few months because of all the BS. He said he will probably just wait till Elder Scrolls Online comes out in the spring.
