Simply put I have characters on both NA and EU servers. I have a ton of gold, items, crafting mats, some furnishings etc. on the NA account and I don't plan on using it anymore, ever for that matter.

What do you think would be the best thing to do with these items, give them to a random newbie and help them have a headstart? Make some sort of fun event for multiple newbies? Need some ideas here :)

    I'll take them off your hands for you ;)

    Jk- I'd say go to one of the zones there are a lot of low level players and give them to someone/multiple people who are asking seemingly basic questions in zone chat. That way there's more of a guarantee they'll go to someone who actually is a new player, and not someone who just claims to be. :)

    A well-respected player in one of the guilds I was in basically did several things - they offloaded everything in their craft bag on our guild store for very cheap, they donated large sums of gold to both the guild coffers and members they had enjoyed spending time with, and they sold or donated non-bound gear to various guild members.
    I play ESO on XBOX NA
    Remember: Elder Scrolls Online appeals to a diverse customer base that view and play the game in different ways.
    Regardless of how you play, be aware Elder Scrolls Online is play-to-pay game.

    If you in a guild you like alot,donate your items to it to help them.I recommend keeping atleast 1m gold or more on your account,just incase you do wanna start playing again.Nothing will go anywhere,your account is saved forever,atleast until servers are shutdown for good.I seen alot of ppl post the "I'm leaving for good" and end up back in a few months or even year or so.

    A Guild(s) lottery.

    Give all that stuff to your guild(s) thru a lottery: winners can keep your stuff, guild gathers gold by selling lottery tickets. Win/Win.

    I would either give items to players I knew starting out or to one of my guilds to distribute. If setting up a contest or similar would be fun for you, that’s cool too. :)

    Keep them. You may come back in a year or two... or give them to a friend you had in game.

    I see a lot of people hosting fun contests in zone chat -- riddle solving, trivia contests, hide and seek/following clues... you can do stuff like that, in zones where you expect a lot of newbies around.

    Give them to random newbie, no question about it.
    I simply must protest. There are no Penguin avatars for me to use in the forums.

    BTW, I use arch too

    Find a guild that does charity work and donate it to them.

    World Crown Exchange discord has a section where people try to trade unusual things, sometimes across servers. Consider Googling them. If you were headed the other way, I'd buy stuff on one server in exchange for gold and the like on the other. Good luck!

    That's what I did when I unsubbed, sold everything and donated it all to my guild which was a great group of peeps.

    Hold onto your stuff just in case Zos decides to make the game fun again. You put in the time, so keep your hard work and take a well deserved break. Just my opinion. :)

    You never know when you might have to leave EU For a vacay. I find it best to have both, especially, with Zos's year long treatment of the EU player-base. :#
