Scared to preorder

Well im thinking of getting ESO just because I literally have no MMOs to play and I want something new to the table and so far ESO is showing me that. However im just scared to buy the game and find out the servers are overloaded during early access which will make me flip a dam table.
I just want reassurance that everything will be fine during my early access.

Everything will be fine during your early access.....
Unfortunately it doesnt matter a damn what I, or anyone else says. MMO launches are always problematic so there are likely to be some issues.
Saying that ZOS seem to be ontop of the situation. The lag/overpopulation/etc during the last beta was because everyone was using one datacentre. ZOS have said that they have other Points of Presence and content delivery networks in place for launch, and "overflow servers" available to be turned on if necessary...(can PVE but cant RVR, group/talk to people on main megaserver)

great, now i'm scared for your table!
l just want reassurance that the table will be fine if you have problems with early access...
I understand exactly how you feel. I have been on early access for the launch of pretty much most of the MMO released in the last few years and its a mixed bag with one not being able to log in for 4 hours. I'm quite chilled in real life so go watch TV or read a book whist im waiting.
I think looking at the beta weekends we all did i only had one delay and it was not major in my opinion, so i personally think you'll be fine.
What i hope is that i can take my time enjoy the scenery , fish a bit , level reasonable well, and leave the power level ling guys to run around , moaning about bugs on quests, getting to endgame in a blistering 4-5 days (with no sleep?) then spend there time on chat saying there is no endgame and leave.
Ill still be level 10 trying to figure out how to craft. So in conclusion pre-order, relax, enjoy the experience, and don't throw tables
He didn't say he'd flip his table, it could be your table he flips, be scared, very scared.

I believe the game will be fine. The games stability was great. Quest bugs are my only worry. But I believe those were a server problem, and I think those will be fixed by launch.

You'd might as well preorder and get the benefits. If you wait a month, you are still going to pay for it. Probably the exact same amount. The only difference is when you pay for it.
In the words of Nick Diaz....Don't be scared homie,nobody is selling wolf tickets ......err right?
If you are on the limb,i would just say there is not a lot out there ,i play FFXIV but i am not going to say it makes me jump n down with utter joy but it keeps me busy.I feel in my gut that TESO is a decent choice as far as choices go right now but more so imo if you somewhat enjoy crafting.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
There are some countries without a real functioning government, so no taxes; not that I'd recommend living in them.
Does everyone die? I expect so, but then if I was immortal I wouldn't shout about it, so no one would know
Just wait a few weeks. There is nothing wrong with being patient and buying a game a little after launch to wait for things to get ironed out. *
* Unless it's ESO. If you don't preorder ESO, you will not be able to pick any race on any faction.
If you're scared to pre-order... then don't!
I got your Deliverance!
Where's my banjo?!!
Thank you everyone I shall now preorder but I won't get the imperial ill be dam to pay so much thank god for that free month.
Also I actually do flip tables I have a round one next to my computer in case I get mad.
I think you can add in there human stupidity and the infinite size of the Universe.
@OP: Odds are everything the pre-order offers will be available to purchase later so if you feel unsure my advice: wait for a trial to be offered for the game and/or for good reviews to come out (look at reputable, somewhat, sites like RPS or youtubers like TotalBiscuit). Until then you could also take a look at Perpetuum Online cause I got a newsletter from the devs yesterday saying they are shifting to a B2P model that looks fair and for around half the price of ESO it could be something to chew on if that type of game appeals to you (crafting ain't as insane though it is deep).

Before listening to this guy, I'd check his posting habits a bit first.

What is wrong with waiting a few weeks to purchase? That is probably the best thing you can do if you actually care about how you spend your money. When someone recommends pre-order over waiting a few weeks to purchase, you don't need to look at their post history to understand their agenda.
This isn't entirely right. If whether you are going to purchase the game at all is in question, then you should certainly wait. However, if you know that you are going to purchase the game, but you aren't sure when you should, you should go ahead and get it now IMO. I think that being able to play any race in any alliance is a nice boon that is worth jumping on you have no doubt that you are going to get the game.
If you love super tough dungeons and storylines in quests that feel realistic and like Mines of Moria's entrance into Moria, then this game is for you 100%
If you like PVP, I cant help you there, I never liked pvp one way or another, but as a PVE player I did rather enjoy the pvp in eso.
if you are someone that rage quits over trivial stuff like a horse being sold for cash for example, you may not want to pre-order this game, or any game for that matter.
everyone has had the chance to play the beta for themselves. if you are still on the fence you should probably just wait to see how the launch of the game turns out, especially if you are on the fence due to the bugs.
even though most of those bugs will get worked out. this game isn't going anywhere, you don't have to play it right when it comes out.
