The Elder Scrolls Online Tweets Info On Beta Sign-ups

TESO’s team stated via twitter today that beta sign-ups will begin in 2013. Sadly they haven’t said what part of 2013. However, seeing as how the game is slated to arrive the same year, I’m going to go out on a limb and guess we’ll see signups before June.

The tweet did say for people to look on the official TESO site as well as their various social outlets to find out when the beta sign-ups kick off.

UPDATE

The beta has officially been announced. You can read all about it here.

Well from the sounds of it they might be releasing it earlier though which really wouldnt surprise me at all. And it is Bethesda, they did tend to rush abit on the Exspansion of Dawnguard for Skyrim so who knows

  Fun fact: Bethesda is NOT developing The Elder Scrolls online. They are, at the absolute most, lore advisers. You forget that Bethesda is not an independent company and DOES NOT own the Elder Scrolls series. TESO is being developed by ZeniMax studios, who owned by the same parent, who is the real owner of the Elder Scrolls IP.
  
  In short, the development of TESO and Skyrim, it’s expansions, and The Elder Scrolls 6 are in no way connected, and the progress of one has NOTHING to do with the other.

    Wrong, its being published by bethesda, and developed by a new studio zenimax started called Zenimax Online Studios, specifically for their online portfolio presence
    - http://www.facebook.com/jonathan.hornsby.7 Jonathan Hornsby
      
      ZeniMax Media owns Bethesda and ZeniMax Studios in the same way EA owns BioWare and Maxis, but I can guarantee you that the people behind Mass Effect are not terribly concerned with developing the next Sims expansion.
      
      It has already been officially confirmed that ZeniMax Studios is a separate entity that is working on TESO WITHOUT direct involvement of Bethesda or the Elder Scrolls single player development team, who are all focused on DLC.

        I was merely pointing our that the comment of them being merely lore advisers was incorrect as publishers they are responsible for market research, marketing and manufacturing, that’s a fair bit more then an advisory role. and Zenimax Online Studios is an in house developer and as such almost all corporate entities hire internally before posting jobs externally so the chance that some or any of the people behind TES might be now working on TESO is a distinct possibility, I know that the head of the division is Matt Firor and he probably brought some of his Mythic team with him from Daoc, but from my experience working at EA I can tell you its a common occurrence to move personnel around when opening new studios or starting new projects especially if they are within the same realms as one of your already released IPs or to move on your own because your contract is up or your looking for something new to challenge you.

      Johnathan is fairly on the money.
      
      ZeniMax Media is the corporate identity.
      
      Bethesda Softworks is the publisher.
      
      Bethesda Studio is the developer for The Elder Scrolls series.
      
      Zenimax Online Studios is the developer for The Elder Scrolls Online.
      
      They share the IP (from their FAQ) because they are both under the same corporate structure.
      
      While I suspect there is some sharing of resources between the studios, it’s probably less than your suspect.
      
      I’ll leave it up to others to debate if it is their corporate culture to release buggy software.

Seriously, stop shitting people like this. Lately some headlines are provocative and you get all hyped up and when you read the article you concur that there isn’t any connections between headline and actual truth. We knew from E3 in June 2012 that beta will be in 2013 and ESO crew said on twitter for at least 20+ times before now that beta will be in 2013. Making headline like this with totally old news is totally misleading and unproffesional. Two cents from your lovely fan…

  Gamebreaker has been bad about this for a long time. My favorite was the esport spectator mode for WoW arenas. You read the article and find out its a third party wargames add-on that doesn’t work with actual arena matches.

    The titles have a distinct print media flair to them. It’s eye catching, sometimes hyperbolic, but always exciting.
    
    I think all this proves is that you would be boring in the print media headlines business, as bustling an industry as that is these days, but I digress.

  “The Elder Scrolls Online Tweets Info on Beta Sign-ups”… i’ve notice so many dyslexic people commenting lately. As stated by the headline, “TWEETS”, in other words, Q is giving this information for people without a twitter account or whoever is not following @TESOnline or any news whatsoever related to ESO, plus she is giving her opinion about the latter, so I don’t think she is being misleading in any way (unproffesional??? WTF!), let me give you a piece of advice, go back to IGN or the shitty hole you came from

    Despite Istvan anger, he is right about the title.
    
    The title should be something like “The Elder Scrolls Online confirms beta sign ups for 2013.”
    
    The news was not that they sent a tweet, it was they confirmed the beta sign up would occur in 2013.
    
    The Gamebreaker title implies the article contain information on signing up for the beta, not when the beta will occur.
    
    The article is fine, it is sometime the titles that are unclear.

      The facebook link to this article says “Beta Incoming”, which isn’t what the article says.
      - http://www.facebook.com/people/Ryan-Ward/100001076168945 Ryan Ward
        
        Actually the article does say that exactly, beta is incoming next year. People who comment on this site need to grow up.

        Sorry, but this is not an ‘article’. It’s barely even a paragraph. About something that has not, at any point ever been news. The info that there would be a beta predates them even having a twitter account for the game; it was announced pretty much along with the game itself. It’s a pretty shameless dig for hits.
    - carlmeister
      
      I won’t go deeper on this, it is not the point. As stated before, some of us didn’t know about ESO’s beta, I’m not even following them on twitter, but because some of you already knew about it, you feel somehow disappointed or find the headline misleading. I still think you are wrong, stop the whining, and think before posting.

  so much mad

  When you log in after 8h of work and visit one of your fav websites and see headline “Beta incoming” , you get all exited, check the website at once for beta sign up page but nothing new there , you read the article and see that beta isn’t incoming its just confirmed for like thousand time by now on twitter and you know that info from June 2012 you get little mad. All this would be fine if this wasn’t first misleading headline on GB recently … And yes giving false headlines is unproffesional no matter how big fanboy are you , period.
  - Revanhavoc
    
    Don’t be such a TESO fanboy and bore. Not everyone is wired into the hub of TESO information that is apparantly outflowing from the butt of Zenimax Studios.
    
    Some of us, especially the people who are now super excited after watching the dedicated Twimmo episode last week, actually consider information about Beta signups to be news.
    
    I find this all very sad because I feel like you would have interesting opinions about TESO, if only you could get over yourself.

Tweets beta info. With a picture of said tweeted info. Explain how this is misleading using arguments that don’t ignore general common sense.

2013 Holiday Release (Nov/Dec); Beta Around August. A long time away.

  I’m actually glad, there are too many great games coming out I want to play before getting sucked into another MMO. Plus I want them to get this game right. *Fingers Crossed*
- Andrew Calibaba
  
  your actually probably wrong, if this was a single player game I could see them having a Christmas release but, in this case being an MMO it will more than likely have a early summer release so I could see the beta starting as early as Feb.
