Caesar Tantalia✭✭✭33 years old
Started with Atari, Sega 8bit, Sega 16bit, ps1, then shifted to PC playing unreal tournament (plus all sequels), then Black hawk down and joint operations.
At some point, I bought Morrowind, build a new pc from scratch for that game and then ... LoL
I bought all the original titles (arena, daggerfall, ...), finally oblivion, skyrim and Teso.
Obviously, I missed like 100+ games but the point is I fell in love with ESO and that will never change. I love the enormous amount of hours I spent on buiilding an "atlantis mod" for Morrowind. I've met amazing people (and also annoying kids).
Looking forward very much to Teso for many years to cone as well as any single player title. I hope I will still have tome left to enjoy this universum.
Cheers

PC EU #MasterRace
First Game: Ice Age 2: The Meltdown (PS2), back in 2006. I remember I could never get past the second level and I got so angry haha. Still haven't done that level to date.
This is my 3rd MMO, after playing a bit on WoW and SWTOR.
PS. I should be probably doing more important things, like revising instead of playing games.0 -

Farorin✭✭✭✭✭I'm 24, loved video games my whole life, dabbled in a few MMOs but never really got into them until now, been playing ES games since I was about 12 or something. I have played and finished them all (aside from daggerfall and arena, almost finished daggerfall though) with my favorites, not including ESO, in order being Morrowind/Oblivion, Daggerfall, Arena and then Skyrim. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed skyrim, a lot, but it was just too damn easy.

falurnefulgerb14_ESOSoul Shriven20 years old here, been playing MMOs since 2007 (Starting with WOW: TBC) and I have to say that ESO is right next to ArcheAge when it comes to being my favorites. I just feel like ESO has better balancing than AA whereas AA has more freedom in the open world. I'd rather play ESO though for sure

MasterFUNG_ESO✭✭✭54 lol
We played Pong on the TV in the den. We were only allowed to play in the evenings tho. We actually had to go Outside and play (you know, climb trees, build forts and stuff)
I did get an Atari at some point, Jungle Hunt was one of my favorites. Spent a lot of quarters in the Arcades and got Pac Man elbow Anyone remember the first Laser Disc game, Dragon's Lair?
Somewhere in there was a regular D&D pnp group and I've always enjoyed board games.
Never had a PC until about the early 90's, but I haven't been without one since
I liked Space Ace better than Dragon's Lair. So much of my allowance and lunch money got spent on that game.
And I never imagined that, one day, I would have it on my phone.
I agree space ace was a lot better then dragons lair. I used to be able to play for hours on one quarter on robotron, no buttons just two joysticks, now that was a fun time.Edited by MasterFUNG_ESO on August 7, 2015 4:10AM0 -

OzJohnD✭✭✭✭substandard poll imoEveryone knows the phenomenon of trying to hold your breath underwater - how at first it's alright and you can handle it, and then as it gets closer and closer to the time when you must breathe, how urgent the need becomes, the lust and the hunger to breathe. And then the panic sets in when you begin to think that you won't be able to breathe - and finally, when you take in air and the anxiety subsides...that's what it's like to be a vampire and need blood.

My first video game was Super Mario Bros. on Nintendo that I got at my 6 years old birthday.
My first RPG was Final Fantasy VI, on SNES.
My first MMO was Final Fantasy XI on PS2.

Daimmyo✭✭✭I was convinced that there's more younger people in this game for some reason. This got me on the wrong foot.

Started with Quake I and Doom. Tried a different MMO's, but my favorite is EVE - so far. It can be tedious with the time investment though, and I have many obligations. So was switching to something that could be more casual to satisfy my virtual needs. Tamriel seems good so far.
Not exactly the depth we had in earlier games - lots of the stuff is oversimplified, but generally loving The Elder Scrolls thing, so I can be good with it.0 -

It ended up being a private project. My own private realm. I never released it into beta as I didn't find a dedicated team to keep supporting it after release.
Just to make you go nuts - I found a way to make "atlantis" lore friendly :-)))
