I was only in the stress testing portion of the Beta testing, so I didn't get to play often. I also didn't have enough time to level up too high, but did learn new things each time I played. Here is a review I found that seems to be fairly accurate:

Elder Scrolls Online Review

I enjoyed playing the game and will most likely buy it, but I have not found a leveling MMO that I haven't gotten sick of yet. They all seem to turn into grinds. I will have to look into Shroud of the Avatar to see how that game will go.

I have a two friends beta keys for this weekend Friday, February 28th at 12:00PM EST until Sunday, March 2nd at 11:59PM EST. Somehow I ended up with 2 beta accounts so each one has a friend key-plus one of the accounts could be used for 3 total to give to whoever is interested.

Played the Alpha Release 3 test of SOTA last weekend. You can definitely see the influence from Lord British.

I also have a beta key if anyone wants it.

Checked my gmail acct, I actually got an invite as well a couple days ago. *shrugs* Guess that answers the question if I ever signed up. I suppose this is the test where they try to blow up the servers?
