Bought the game 8 years ago and I’m a proud EoD owner. I even picked up the Standard Edition on Steam just to link my account, which worked without any issues. Server problems on launch day are normal when huge numbers of players jump in at once, but some people get overly dramatic and rush to review-bomb the game instead of waiting a few hours.

After 30+ years of gaming and countless hours in Tarkov, this is easily one of the best-value games I’ve ever played. I’ll keep enjoying EFT and supporting BSG for years to come.

Update: I'm still having a blast on PVP and PVE, leveling both modes and collecting all twitch drops, people burning through those quests are going to be bored too soon, but not me.
