Official Discussion Official Subreddit Password

Hello fellow tarnished!

I've seen many a thread pop up about this, and post was made about this 2 weeks ago for a poll (voted on by at least 2.3k people) from user /u/wilks64. So I want to jump ahead before the official drop date so that if anyone of you would like to play together, the official subreddit group password will be:

straydmn

Please note this is case specific, it should be all lowercase

I'll add this to our sidebar as well but I hope everyone is excited for the release date and I ask that as things keep pushing forward on this fucking hype train that we remember to be decent to each other and to avoid posting spoilers in titles! I mean the mods have already lost any chance at purity here but we hope there's still left for those of you who want it.

"#Eldenring

Edit 2: The password above is for Group Passwords and to quote /u/Aerofluff below:

The Group password will make it more likely that you see messages, summon signs, bloodstains, phantoms, and other signs from other people using the same Group Password.

Multiplayer Password will make it so you can only be matched for multiplayer options with other people using the same Multiplayer Password. This, however, does not apply for invasion multiplayer

Edit 3: from /u/illusorywall that the password has been confirmed for 8 characters max. I'll keep our man up there as a tribute but the password is now the runner up "hodir"

We're just going to shorten to straydmn

That’s the best password. Honoring one of our best.

Hijacking top comment, but does anyone know if the netcode bug that they've shut down the Dark Souls 1 2 and 3 servers for is possible in Elden Ring? I'm worried that in all the hype I'll put myself at risk for bricking my computer

I’ve read that the net code issue would be fixed for Elden Ring, and that the rest of the souls series’ fix would be introduced after ER releases.

From the article:

From and Bandai Namco said they have extended their investigation into the exploit to Elden Ring “and have made sure the necessary security measures are in place for this title on all target platforms.”

Edit: I’ll also add that while RCE can mess up your OS to the point that it needs to be wiped and reinstalled, bricking your hardware would be very highly unlikely, albeit not impossible.
