Zamarak, Raz,
decorating my castle,
finishing the CWC story,
trying arcanist,
when Razum-dar disguises himself as Queen Ayrenn in a quest,
oh yes, and playing the Orsinium story

I used to be an adventurer like you, then I got the ESO on my hard drive...
The final assault quest takes you through a library with cold fire braziers players need to light. The brziers were bugged/ out of alignment. Multiple players were dying falling off the edge of platforms or jumping from book towers trying to light the braziers.
A large group of players, including myself hiding under stairs inside a building in Grahtwood. We were hiding there because people thought it would make quest boss spawn. Of course we didn't understand quest bosses had timers. The quest took a long time to complete with the amount of players trying to kill the quest boss.

While I am sure I've various memories of this game that I'd remember randomly, I still specifically remember getting this for my birthday one year as a sort of "Here you go, if you like it, great, if not, oh well" from the boyfriend at the time. I was a little hesitatant asking questions about things like how arrows would work, if you had to manually aim or have arrows on hand, making a Nord as my first character (At the time, I wasn't a fan of Khajiit or Argonians as my only basis for them was Skyrim and I thought they looked ugly in that), playing for a short time before we all remade new characters as Khajiit. The initial trouble of trying to quest with friends as a nightblade having a bounty, trying to sneak around town to try and keep up. It's been 8, must be coming up 9 years now, and I'm still playing it. Unfortunately any friends who was with me quickly fell off ESO, only coming back for a very brief time, but I've been playing loads since. What a birthday gift this was!
Oh, I also remember the early IC events. Joining your seemingly entire faction run to the center to farm Bal, only to turn around and see the entirety of another faction funnel through too, and then the chaos begins
Doshia for the first time at launch and the first big fight in Cyrodiil. What a rush
Remembers early Cyrodiil too. Riding with a large group of EP, encountering a large group of AD at a bridge. We all just kinda stood there looking at one another, until someone fired an arrow and all mayhem broke loose

The moment created my main on March 30th 2014 getting his first achievement within the hour after creation. Ransack.
Next great memory, when my old all khajiit guild, Vah Khaj Dar, was able to field 30+ Khajiit in Cyrod, running rampant cleaning the red and blue pests.
10 years later, is still going strong. Picture is from this morning in Southern Elsweyr, digging treasure chests.
I feel disappointed that ZOS doesn't give something special to all the characters created on pre-release weekend 10 years ago.

I stopped playing consistently for about five years but Ill never forget my first time visiting Bleakrock, still hoping for housing there, nor do I forget the choirs as you stroll through Auridon, for me the environment will always be my favorite experience, its mainly why I always return to eso
Thinking back to early days, I realised the things I enjoyed most at that time are no longer in the game:
Doing zones where the mobs were at least 5 levels higher than my toon (AwA even wiped the record of most of my toons' heroic boss killing achievements).
Doing Cadwell zones and not seeing another player for literally hours at a time.
Standing in the bank at Velyn Harbor, listening to Malukah sing while I did all my inventory management.
Nowadays I mostly use the game to make my own fun. Write character backstories. Use an idiosyncratic play style for each character. Build beautiful homes for them. Enjoy lots of small wins every day.
My playing time Mon-Friday UTC13:00-16:00 [PC-NA] CP over2000 now.
I have [1Tough tank] [1StamSorc-DD] [1Necro-DD] [1Real Healer]
But, I'm Tank main player. Recently I'm doing Healer.

By the way...Dungeon-Meshi(One of Famous Japanese fantasy story comic book) got finale...
Good-bye "King of Monster Eater".
I did a Naked and Drunk trial with my guild and we all brought out our pony pets, which are so comically large that it made us all laugh for about an hour straight. Best ESO night ever. Also when we made this recruitment video for a ZOS contest:
Clearing all Cyrodiil Dolmens all alone in one night and earning Savior of Nirn title.
Defeating the Golden Saint WB in Stonefalls for the first time in solo, taking my long awaited vengeance.
Every fight I had with the Preserver of Galen, I think I remember every single one, all memorable.
Soloing a Gray Dragon while shoooting my pants.
Soloing the "Molag Bal" event in the center of the Imperial City sewers at dawn to avoid enemy players.
Farming, obtaining Oakensoul Ring and get stunned by what a game changer it was for me.
The moment I completed Veteran Maelstrom Arena failing to obtain flawless conqueror and I said to myself: never stepping foot in here again, I'm happy to give up.
This already seems quite a bragging comment so I'll say I soloed Inkslayer BUT "I have no particular memory" of it, so I wouldn't include this... Best achievement? Probably. Memory? Sadly, no.
Finally getting Bastion Sanguinaris and the Vampire Lord statue, hopefully soon ill be getting the Cursebound Senche-raht Darkfang and I will finally be complete. That's my best memories.
Guild master of Darkness of Sanguinaris. Birthday is December 4th.
Finally beating the story for the first time and hitting veteran ranks. Also exploring Craglorn for the first time and meeting my first group of friends who sadly don't play anymore.
Realizing that after farming all the sets that I cared about and accumulating enough crowns and gold, that I didn't need to subscribe anymore and could subscribe to other games and still enjoy ESO.
The time that ESO told GDC that they had made 2,000,000,000 USD and been sold to MS since launch. But they can't provide extreme latency dependant game play like PVP with dedicated hardware for the original experience.
Here $15, goat mount please. Not paying 45 : lol :
Netch is free with a cleanse and free magika. You nerf siphon into the ground. Nice balance team.
How do you go home every night and say, I did a great job at work today. You actually do your job properly.
Step 1: roll templar. Step 2: level up jabs. Step 3: slap on weapon damage build. Step 4: que for bg. Step 5: leap...jabsjabsjabsjabs
It was during Year 1, back when guards in Cyrodiil keeps were serious freakin' business, and I managed to solo defend a keep at level 26 against a bunch of VR players by hitting them with siege inside the keep while they were taking down a guard. They'd thought it was un undefended keep and had let their guard down.
Looking back, it's stupid that I won that fight, but a the time, it was epic.
"A probable impossibility is preferable to an improbable possibility." - Aristotle
Cyrodil under level 50 was always filled. Running around in giant groups. Being able to join group and instantly talking without the annoyance of discord codes. Always the same people playing and having a good time.
First vMA completion, on a magplar, way before progress saving was a thing, and way before power creep trivialized it.
It was a literal all-nighter, 7 or 8 hours, with a final score on the low end of the triple digits.
That was the point when I could say I finally learned to play the game.
Starting from new when everything was a new adventure. All games have been the same, a step into the unknown and full of uncertainty. You can never regain that feeling.
