I was thinking of getting into ESO now that its going B2P but i was curious about a few things.

Is it possible to have a pet focused sorc now? I was looking forward to that during beta, but found out the pets were fluff at most then.

What would be the best PvE server to get into?

    There is only one Mega Server, so you just login and your ready to go PvE. The only time you "pick a server" is when you pick a campaign for PvP.

    There are some changes to the Sorcerer Pets with the upcoming 1.6 changes. I have not played with them enough to know if they are worth it or not.
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    How solo friendly is the game? I never really made it past 8-10 in beta. Dont think i ever actually left the starting zone heh.

    The game is very solo friendly. Sorcs with pets do just fine leveling up by themselves. You can quest and explore delves ( little mini dungeons ) by yourself quite easily. You probably will want to join others to tackle world bosses and dolmens and you will definitely need to group to take on an instanced 4 man dungeon. But you don't have to do dungeons to reach veteran levels.

    It's very solo friendly. Some builds are easier to level with, others can be challenging. People's definitions differ of course, but none of it I could really consider a faceroll.

    Other than a couple of World Bosses per zone and Dolmens, you can solo everything else besides Group Dungeons on Level. Even the two harder bosses per zone can be solo'd, but its much better to do them with others. Public Dungeons help to have people with you, but it is not necessary.

    What I do is complete the zone content that I can solo, which is most of it. Then I put out a LFG World Boss/Dolmen Tour in zone chat. It is easy to find someone to go along for these as most people want some help with the World Bosses and Dolmens. Then we make a big circle through the zone and take them all on.

    Helps to join a guild like Lone Wolf Help where we mostly solo, but will reach out to others to help with harder content.

    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    Sorc Pet builds in v1.6.3 are very powerful! If you like that kind a playstyle you should be very surprised that it is now more than what you experienced at Beta. I will say that this is a new paradigm for ESO however and they're will more than likely be polishing over time.

    Went ahead and bought the Imperial Edition. Hopefully get it up and running tonight and can start playing :smiley:

    If I may, I also recommend purchasing an Explorer's Pack Code from www.G2A.com. This will allow you to create any race in any faction giving you a lot more flexibility in character creation.

    Normally I wouldn't promote a third-party website but these codes were only available to players who pre-ordered the game back in March 2014. Now they can only be purchased via third-party. I got mine from G2A.com and it was easy and had no problems. I paid $7 USD all together for it.

    Actually, there are two mega servers the NA one and the EU one. Although both have players from all over the world.
