So, I guess you can now pre-order the Elder Scrolls Online.

I didn't see any collectors edition however. Think they'll announce that later or there just won't be one?

I'm frankly surprised they are selling pre-orders now without having announced the games subscription model.

I think what your seeing as pre-orders is simply retailers promising to reserve a copy for you.

I preordered my copy on Amazon on November 13, 2012 Some stores have allowed to preorder it for some time now,,,

Theres already 1.3mill guys on FB ready to play. Like Ive said business model has nothing do with how well this game does. Truth is most of us dont care if they go with game price, sub and even shop. Rift went just totally free, they managed to fill up their 25 server or so, SWTOR went totally free and same story there (they had 220 server at launch... compared to their current 25.) so needless to say free players arent that many. If there was tons of free players they'd have added tons of more server iMHO. Not to mention Planetside 2, SOE does even TV- advertisemant and there isnt that many players.

I pre ordered last year ;o

This does not need to be ruined by payment model hijacking arguments

That's my assumption too.

As far as I've seen, preorders aren't available in my country yet. I see no reason to pay for shipping, so I'll wait until the official announcement.

No longer a PC user so I wouldn't dare; congratulations to y'all though.

You couldn't tell from actually reading the FB posts. They post about the TESO food truck coming somewhere? Instant 500 replies of "WHERE MAH BETA KEYZ" or "THIS GAEM SUX B/C ITS NOT OUT YET HURRY UP ZENIMXAX".

On topic though, I'm not going to pre-order until closer to launch. I want to see what the CE is going to hold, and I want to be able to pre-order a digital copy through Steam or Zenimax directly.

Aye, but like the saying goes.. "when kids whine, they show they care" This game sells at least 1.3 mill, and I predict we even doulbe that FB number. At least all current MMOs saw huge spike up like 1 month to launch and after, 2.5mill at FB is realistic if asked from me.

I think it's more then that.
