Funny story from adventuring into the EU server for the first time

I decided to make a character on the EU server to get the Summerset Pathfinder achievement to help out the community goal. Man it felt weird having 0 CP and not having my collectibles. Well I had the stuff I got from codes, like my Torchbug pet, but still, felt totally naked :p

Anyway, I managed to trot my way all over Summerset for the main points of interest, then I needed to get a port to Artaeum for the point of interest there. The first time I asked nicely in chat, someone whispered me, asking me how much! I said, what do you mean, I just need the wayshrine :) And they responded..."well the last time I taxi'd someone there they gave me 10k gold"...I was taken aback a bit, but responded "Well good luck, I'm a lvl 6 with 150 gold!"

I waited a while then asked zone again, and a kind person gave me a free port. I decided to give them my Mother of Pearl ingredient that I picked up for helping me, since I can't take it with me to NA :D They said I didn't have to, and were grateful, so there are nice people all around the world :)

To that first 'taxi' guy....you might want to rethink your approach, you might get 10k from an EU native with gold to spend, but new people from NA on brand new characters aren't likely to have 10k yet, especially a lvl 6 who had been in the game less than an hour ;)

    Sounds like a *** for something that would have taken him minimal effort. Promise not everyone on the EU server is like that.

    I actually noticed Summerset was less laggy there than it is on NA for me, I maintained around 30-40 FPS most of the time. I did notice my ping was around 200 and would spike to 300 sometimes though. Is that common?I know Aussies have latency issues.

    I play on NA, and saw several people there who were from EU and needed a taxi to wayshrines because they'd just made the character within the past two days and their speed was a "1".
    Yeah, a lot of people are making new characters for their alternate server for this event. I actually didn't have to, because I already happened to have a few under-used characters on EU.

    I was picked up for taxi to Artaeum immediately on PS4 EU. Although it was in the middle of the night for European players, there were many in zone chat offering to help NA players complete the achievement.

    I even got a guild invite for lowbies... I think I'll be back to play a lot on EU. Like the OP said, it was weird playing a 'new' account, but also exhilarating, too, as if the game were new.

    This event has many side benefits :)

    I tried last night to get a port to that last one, but I was apparently mostly surrounded by french speakers and couldn't understand what was being said.

    Will try again tonight and see if I have better luck.


    Like others have mentioned... I quite enjoyed the "lowbie" feels after so long of being maxed out! Having to slow hoof it around and "re-opening" wayshrines, etc.

    The event is fun also, seeing everyone charging at these locations enmasse! :smiley:

    I have a CP400 StamSorc that I created on the EU server sometime ago and took him in today just for the pathfinder achievement. Usually the lag runs about 240ms from the West Coast, probably close to what the EU’s probably had when they were on the NA megaserver. I do belong to a couple of guilds on the EU server and one of my guildies provided the taxi to Artaeum :)

    I still really don't "get" this event.
    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.
    ***
    Order Draconis - well c'mon there has to be some explanation for all those dragon tattoos.
    House of Dibella - If you have ever seen or read "Memoirs of a Geisha" that's just the beginning...
    Nibenay Valley Chapterhouse - Where now stands only desolate ground and a dolmen there once was a thriving community supporting one of the major chapterhouses of the Order Draconis

    But it had nothing to do with them being European! It just was something that happened the first time I tried the other server.

    Maybe for you, I don't feel insulted at all. C'mon, everybody poops ;) There are greedy s'wits everywhere, charging for werewolf and vampire bites, selling dungeon runs... However requesting gold for a port is the lowest of the low.
    I parked my Summerset hero in Artaeum for everybody to port to - I'll be just chilling there till the end of the event. Also, if any guest from NA server needs a tour, I'll be doing all Summerset POIs tomorrow at 3 pm BST / 10 am EDT - pm me if you are interested ;)

    EDIT: I'm from PC EU, just to be clear :D

    Ive never had anyone try to rip me off on the EU server.

    Even when I ask in zone WTB vamp/werewolf bite most people respond that they'll bite me for free.
    If I am waiting for a queue and someone needs help with a WB I often help them out.
    Such a small effort to make someones day a bit better.

    Sounds like a *** for something that would have taken him minimal effort. Promise not everyone on the EU server is like that.

    i play on the EU XB1 server, and noone ever asks /pays for porting, vamp bites or even ww bites. you get the occasional idiot asking 5k or something but most people just offer. ive got a char over on US too - same over there.

    sounds like you just got an idiot tbh. plenty of them around.

    Oh, hey, you were in the same group I got picked up in!

    That fellow was nice. There was one NA in our group who didn't have any mounts and the EU guy ran alongside him using Rapid Maneuvers to get him to the Coliseum faster. :)

    There is no way a rational person would infer an insult from his statement. Especially not an insult to the entire European Union just because he said "I went to the EU and this one dude was funny but another was nice"

    Some people just look to be offended, it's like their hobby or something. :shrug:


    I've seen people in chat saying they'll port to Artaeum for 10k, but I think mostly they're joking - and even if they aren't they're immediately overwhelmed by people offering free ports, so it doesn't matter anyway. I got a port on NA server when I asked.

    When I was doing it on the EU server, all I had to was ask for a port to Artaeum and instantly got invited. I must say as a Saxhleel it felt very awkward getting helped by a Telvanni >.=.> They were extremely nice though, I thanked them a few times. If you read the forums, thanks again.

    When I offered my taxi service, I saw no awkward demands in zone chat, no clue what happened in whisp.

    I just spotted two or three guys who asked for NA adventurers to fill their private bank guild. Clever move. o:)

    I jumped to PCEU with some PCNA friends. We disbanded our group to try to get someone to port us to Artaeum. A guy picked me up and went to port, but realized he didn't have the shrine open on that toon. We ended up finding someone else, but we also brought the PCEU guy with us. Now, he too has Artaeum unlocked. Lawl.

    I still gave him my whole craftbag. Nice of him to try. :p
