Tired. Just got home from work, having fun with ESO for a bit. How are you?

Sorry for the late reply had the whole virus thing pop up out of the wood works and was like BAM "essential worker" y'know. Anyhow thanks for asking. Doing good. Hope work was good

Me and my monkey are still here

Ozium

JamieAubrey

I'm still here

Beta monkey, still hanging around. Got stuck in Potato Edition for Xbox waiting for controller support and now play the fashion endgame with occasional BGs and quests.

I do still love it here, though. I just wish I was always as excited about it as I was when everything was still fresh and new.

Hello i am fine too

Not a beta tester sadly.... Found out about the game about a week or so after beta ended and Instantly bought the game..... Who remembers the good old days of having to grind for ever to get 10k for a horse lmao

I was in beta, got the monkey 🙉to prove it, game is 100x better today then the swill this game started as. ESO is now my favorite MMO I have played in my 22 years of MMOing. Now if they will fix the performance, I may never leave and they can keep taking my money.

I have recently figured out that I need to simplify my relationship with the game. It is the only MMO I have played, and I think I will prefer it going forward if I play it more like a single player game.

Due to the IP of the game, once they made combat not suck the last few betas, I was sold. I'll stick with the game for as long as they release narrative content.

Beta Monkey present! Been on/off lately but got to go to Bethesda Game Days this past weekend and I am back at it again! Also saying "Hi" to all the cool people there is always fun every year.

Hey! glad to see ya!
Yup popped in and out myself keeping track of what's going on in the community. Always loved reading everything

Same here. Not sure whether I should give it another try since gamepad mode was wrecked....Still hoping tho.

ZaiZah

Beta monkey here too, been on and off since 2014 but still have fun playing the game despite the obvious issues off late which can be a hindrance in some cases but if you ask me it adds to the challenge

Glad we still have plenty of old school players in the game, I'm a pretty regular player these days

The funny thing is all these players will be coming to this thread saying they were beta and they’re wasn’t that many of us that I recall.

It’s like that here in Boston when it gets mentioned that Ted Williams hit a home run in his last at bat . All New Englanders will they they were there and the attendance for the game was 6,000.

Curious how many players will say they that they were there. It’s funny this thread popped up today cuz I was going thru some old mail Folders and found my ESO Beta folder.

I think you are referring to the original closed beta. You perhaps forget they invited slightly a few more people after that

May be one of the few beta monkeys that jumped to PS4. There’s a lot to do in the game but the past year with constant nerfs and combat changes it’s rough to try and keep up. Mostly now I just check in to see if there’s anything interesting going on and if not, I go pretend to be a cowboy or steal cars.

Beta Monkey best pet ever, and the only one I use.

I thought the "old school" beta testers here were meant to be Stephen Zep (Zenithar), Daniel Starr (Stendarr), Mary Jo DiBella, Marilyn (Mara) Wassermann and other of the Eight Aedric creators of Nirn .. Your "old" school won't enter the Imperial pantheon of tamrielic gods, OP - you were too late to come, the world's been already created and fixed in the first Elder Scrolls .. But still I thank all those new "Aedric spirits" who also contribute a part of their energy to make the people of Tamriel stay safe within it, who make sure that the walls of this world are stable and the gaps are sealed. Thank you, guys!

Guess I should have clarified, I did actually mean the closed beta It's ok though, I would rather see folks come together in a cool thread remembering the wonderment of fantastic bugs and cool peeps

Funny though, like @Ozium I looked in my mail, my first ever message went like this:

Shadowfox July 2013
Today is thurs 7/11 shooting you a message to help test guild functionality this beta weekend

Garbrac July 2013
I'll send you the mumble information tomorrow before the Beta Event if you wish to join us in mumble your welcome to do so, if not feel free to message me in game and I'll get you in the guild to test the features.

Shadowfox July 2013
Mumble is not a problem at all I'll make sure to have it installed and ready to go

Wolfshade

Still alive, ...but it seems we crushed the server at stress-test till yet

DukeDiewalker

Just watching the ship sink from here on. It was fun back then tho.

sirston

been better this game has changed alot since then some good and alot bad always want it to be better.

wenchmore420b14_ESO

Im still here too! Beta tester with 9.5k hrs in game so far.
But have to admit, my playing has slowed down a lot in last year or so.
Poke'man style "collection" for mount, events every other week, combat changes, lag, etc has me not enjoying Tamriel like I was 6 years ago. But I still play. I weathered launch, I plan on weathering this too.
Huzzah!

mabdastardseb17_ESO

You mean I could have left and are we actually out of Beta finally Ye Gads Cadwell we better get good or git gud as our fellow colonials like to say.

Tiedän

I was one of the final wave of beta testers in February before the game went live. Still regularly play, just don’t get as much time to do so now that I have the little one. Got my monkey!

FabresFour

Well, I'm still here, since the closed beta. Unfortunately, I lost my original account, because during the mandatory subscription period I didn't understand how a credit card worked and I ended up losing my monkey. (I didn't even have a debit card at the time). Miss u little monkey :'(

Six years dude, I have never played an MMORPG for so long. And always focused on lore and questing. I love Zenimax's work.

mook-eb16_ESO

yep we are still testing this beta game

Mettaricana

Im still here from day one of beta abit greyer and a lot less amazed by zos and their choices of development... but still here still a stam sorc since beta same character

Morgha_Kul

I'm still here, too. Probably be here til the end, whenever that comes.
My monkey is named Abu.

Aelorin

That feeling of logging in for the first time, and explore Auridon, an island of the Altmer, was so exciting.

Part of me misses that feeling of exploration.

On the other hand i am allways been a very slow leveller, so i just started doing trials this year, which is the first time ever in a game, so that gives me a lot of satisfaction!

Still in love with this game.

Vaoh

Technically I am a beta tester

I played in beta on an old PC for about 6 hours. Questing with my Nord DK in Stonefalls, and then a Redguard DK in Stros M’Kai.

I had a fluctuating 5-10 FPS alongside the lowest possible graphics settings. And I had an awesome time. Unfortunately the day I had it downloaded was the last full day of the Beta. Almost positive this was over a weekend.

Would have been very cool to have a beta monkey pet on PS4 NA (where I played the game after launch).
