Steps
- 1On Mac computers, we move the mouse cursor down to Google Chrome. Normally, Safari is used; but we need to make sure that everything works on different browsers, as there are incompatibilities in different browsers. Google Chrome is guaranteed to work with Elder Scrolls Online. If we prefer to use Firefox, Safari, Opera, or another browser, we simply click the browser of our choice and follow the instructions.To get started, we need to open a web browser.
- 2Once Google Chrome is opened, we need to make sure that the account is accessed through the https://account.elderscrollsonline.com web site.For now, we are going to click Google Chrome.
- 3One button is at the top next to the picture with the plus sign, and the other is below it. They both do the same thing, so we are going to click the golden-brown "CREATE ACCOUNT" button. Once we click the "CREATE ACCOUNT" button, we'll be taken to the account creation page. As this information is private, some information is blurred or blocked out in this tutorial. It is encouraged not to share our information or log-in details with other people. We have to make sure to keep our information private as we create our own account.What we need to do now is to find the area where the page says, "CREATE AN ACCOUNT" or "CREATE ACCOUNT".
- 4We click and select the year, month, and day.We are going to start with "DATE OF BIRTH".
- 5The user ID is specific to our account and unique. Let's click "UserID" now.Once we've entered the date of birth, we are going to click on the "UserID" field.
- 6When we've typed in the desired user ID, we are going to click "CHECK AVAILABILITY". For the purposes of this tutorial, we are going to type a user ID that is not available, "Wergild".We need to type our user ID.
- 7The user ID will not be available. There is also the indication below that reads "Not available". We'll be given different variants from which we can choose.Now, we are going to click "CHECK AVAILABILITY".
- 8If we like, we can click the actual user name.
- 9Now, we type in the user name that is hopefully not used. Let's type "Joseph".Then, we can type a new user name.
- 10The user ID is not available.We click "CHECK AVAILABILITY".
- 11Let's click the user ID and type "HJBuell".
- 12Once we've successfully chosen a user name that is not taken by another user, we'll see that it is listed as "AVAILABLE".We click "CHECK AVAILABILITY".
- 13We'll need to enter our first name, last name, email address with the confirmation, password with the confirmation, and a security question and answer.Then, we can scroll down and continue entering our information.
- 14Let's start with "First Name" by clicking it.
- 15The password should be similar to or the same as our user ID. Once we've entered the password, we'll have the indication whether the password is strong or weak. Our password should be strong. A good way to choose a strong password is mixing letters and numbers. Some people simply take their phone numbers and use the numbers or the letters that appear on the keypad to create their passwords.When we reach the password field, note that we'll be asked to create a strong password that cannot be easily hacked or guessed.
- 16Next, we scroll down.
- 17If we click the drop-down menu button under "SECURITY QUESTION", we'll see a number of different questions that we can choose. "Where did you live?" "What is your dream job?" etc. In this case, we're going to choose our favorite author.We'll enter our security question and answer.
- 18We click "Answer".
- 19In this video, we type "HJBuell".
- 20Finally, we scroll down to "TERMS OF SERVICE".
- 21It is a significant amount of reading, and we need to read it all before we play the game.We can click in the "TERMS OF SERVICE" text box to scroll down and read through the Terms of Service.
- 22In this video, we're going to click that we've read the Terms of Service.
- 23If we agree with all that we have read, we click that we agree to the Terms of Service.
- 24We do not have to sign up for them.Optionally, we click that we are going to sign up for updates on products, news, and other special offers.
- 25Let's scroll down a little more.
- 26In this video, we type the numbers that we see. 3, 2, and 7.Now, we have to answer whether we are human.
- 27We'll be given the indication about a sent email message. We'll have to check our email box.Let's click on "CREATE ACCOUNT" now.
- 28We can click "Save password".Our browser might ask us if we want to save our password.
- 29In this case, the email box has been checked on another device. In the event we do not find the email message immediately, we have to make sure to check again later or click the resend link.Now, we should check our email messages.
- 30When we click the resend link option, we'll be back to the main page at http://account.elderscrollsonline.com/login. In the video, we've checked and received the update email message, which did take a moment but did not take long.If we do not receive the email message, click "Click here if you wish us to resend you a confirmation email." to resend the confirmation email message.
- 31Once we've clicked the link, our account will be activated.When we are ready, we simply click "ACTIVATE ACCOUNT" or click the link from the email message.
- 32We will be given the option to sign in.If we come to the log-in page after clicking the resend link, we can simply refresh the page by clicking the refresh button in the browser.
- 33If we close and reopen the page in our browser, we will be automatically logged in.We are going to check "KEEP ME SIGNED IN".
- 34Make sure we enter our user name not the email address.
- 35After we enter our user name, we have to enter our password.
- 36After that, check the "KEEP ME SIGNED IN" box if we want to stay signed in.
- 37This will sign us into the Elder Scrolls Online account for the first time. We will see all of the user information, our user ID, our account information, preferences, security questions, and the ability to redeem codes.We are going to go ahead and click on "SIGN IN".
- 38We can also scroll down and change our email preferences, passwords, or security questions as we like.

Questions and Answers
Hi Grimm. A long time ago, I played Carmageddon 1 on Win 95 and 2 on Win 98?
The problem is, that after Windows 98, Windows shifted to NTFS, and The Worlds Best Driving Game couldn't play on Computer anymore. I am still very addicted to my Game (Take Care), and I really wanted to ask if a clever fellow like you would know what to do in such an Earth Shattering situation. Please help me Mister. I promise if I see you in my car, I will not aim at you!
