I just got access to the forum and thought I say hello. Unfortunately I couldn't find any Welcome thread so I thought I make one.
Maybe it could be stickied so new people like myself can say hello. =]

I started playing on the North America PS4 server not even a week ago and I was a bit disappointed at first as I was expecting a spectacular first encounter a la Skyrim, but after a few teething problems (sadly the randomly crackling/glitching sound persists..) I am starting to enjoy the game more and more.
This one does not appreciate txt tlk, elitism and foul language.

    Welcome to the forums! Don't mind the mess. :wink:

    You're right that ESO is a much slower roll than Skyrim, but in my experience, the narrative is just as satisfying.

    You may have already figured this out, but don't try to grind ESO. Just play it at the pace that feels natural and fun to you and you'll enjoy the game so much more.

    What ESO really needs is an Auction Horse.
    That's right... Horse.

    Welcome to ESO and the forums! :) And yes I agree about the sticky. In my 10+ years of using forums I've never seen one till now where there wasn't a welcome/introduce yourself section. Would be nice to have one :)

    Welcome!

    The forums can be a little bit cruel at times but otherwise it's a great place for knowledge. Don't let the negative based threads ruin your fun of the game though most of the issues here are not as serious as they are made out to be.

    As for playing the game it's a little slower than Skyrim and other TES games as others have said and you'll have to accept there are some areas you need to make adjustments to your play style as it's an MMO but overall the game has an interesting story and some fantastic quests to help teach the lore of this era.

    Thank you very much everyone for the warm welcome, everyone! =]
    I'm no stranger to mmos or gaming in general. been at it for 26 years now. So far, touch wood, I haven't encountered any major problems and I hope it stays that way.
    As for the forums, I'm not really a social media person. It tends to draw the worst out of people, but I shall be around either to look for or to give help, so I can. =]

    On teh forumz we are truly at war against the three alliances, Ebonheart Pact (meady nords), the Daggerfall Covenant (potato looking bretons), and Aldmeri Dominion (sophisticated elves that are too "cool" for dancing naked). Unless I completely misunderstood what Smileybones meant xD.

    Play safe, be in all of the alliances, but keep your heart only with one. I have yet to find mine ;___;...

    Welcome to "The Forums" AKA the realms of chaos.

    Feel free to ask questions, necro threads, post ideas and generally have a good time.

    Don't take any crabbiness personally, just wander about and enjoy - same as in Tamriel.

    Tenesi Faryon of Telvanni - Dunmer Sorceress who deliberately sought sacrifice into Cold Harbor to rescue her beloved.
    Hisa Ni Caemaire - Altmer Sorceress, member of the Order Draconis and Adept of the House of Dibella.
    Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
    Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.

    I never said I was worried. I played enough games for far too many years to know how to find my way around. But thanks regardless. =]

    Don't know.

    Don't care.

    I'm here to have fun, and possibly sometimes to poke fun.

    I like thread necro'ing; if you have a question, chances are you aren't the only one.
