The official timetable for The Elder Scrolls Online

At times it can be a real pain in the behind to figure out when you can start playing a game online, and naturally with big MMORPG you want to get in as soon as you can. Various headstart initiatives and time zones is enough to give us headaches so we thought we'd sort things out for you.

The Elder Scrolls Online offers a five day headstart to those who have pre-ordered the game on the Bethesda's official website. Thus you will be able to begin your adventures on March 30 at 12:00 noon (GMT).

If you've pre-ordered the game via another retailer you'll get a three day headstart and will be able to begin playing on April 1 at 12:00 noon (GMT).

If you haven't pre-ordered the game (keep in mind you still can), you'll have to wait until the official launch at midnight Thursday/Friday (April 3/4) to jump into Tamriel.

The PS4 and Xbox One versions of the game are set to launch in June.
