One of 2013's most highly anticipated games is now accepting beta applications. Bethesda Softworks and Zenimax Online Studios today announced that the beta signups for Elder Scrolls Online have begun and interested parties can just head to the official site and register. Timing and exact details for the beta will come at a later date, but with the launch expected before the end of 2013, the Beta can't be far off.  Read the below press release for more details:

Bethesda Softworks® and ZeniMax® Online Studios today announced that beta signups are now open for The Elder Scrolls® Online at ElderScrollsOnline.com.  Interested gamers simply have to go to the website and register for a chance to play. Selected beta registrants will be granted early access to beta test the game. They will be among the first to experience this epic world with others in one of 2013’s most highly-anticipated releases. Timing and details of the start of playtests will be provided at a later date to those who register.

“We’re really excited to get the game into players’ hands,” said Matt Firor, game director of The Elder Scrolls Online. “We receive invaluable feedback through the beta process, and that helps us ensure that the game will be one of the best online gaming experiences ever offered -- one worthy of The Elder Scrolls franchise.”  

The Elder Scrolls Online brings the award-winning Elder Scrolls experience online for the first time. Using ZeniMax Online’s Megaserver technology, players will join one connected world with a built in social network that lets them stay up-to-date with everything their friends are doing. Megaserver technology avoids the hassle of shard selection and makes The Elder Scrolls Online one of the most socially enabled games ever created.  Whether playing alone, or with hundreds of friends, players can develop their own style of play as they embark upon an epic quest across Tamriel. 

Head on over to the official site and get signed up!

Wow, people still say "epic fail"?

I can fill out the app and I get this afterwards.

We're sorry, the page you're looking for can not be found.

any attempts to invent a new word to replace 'epic fail' were epic fails.

Gah... tried twice and got the 'turn back adventurer page not found' rubbish... not a great first encounter with the company tbh. Can't even get a sign up running smoothly it seems. Ahh well, will try later.

And while it has, ofc, bugger all to do with the actual game, that trailer is nice.

Cool news.  I didn't realize they were this far along.

Just applied successfully and did not encounter a single problem. Said my chanches to get an invite were above average which means they are still average :)

It worked for me and I got an e-mail confirmation, it may be they just got flooded.

This was my problem, after a few refreshes I got my application through.

Signed and sealed, i wonder how many doomsayers on this site will sign up. Over at the beth forums we have a name for this site.

Is it 'the place we go to troll the regular users with veiled insults'?

Having no luck at all /cry
