First time going through glenumbra and coming second on the leaderboard for emp. I only play solo to I love just fighting other players and seeing what I can do by myself so getting so close to emp an achievement for me personally 🙂
The first jester's festival. I think it was the first time I realized I could stop focusing on quests and just have a good time interacting with other players. I hung out on a hedge in Vulkhel Guard after the daily quests playing my lute, dancing and pelting people with cherry blossoms. I was invited to my first guild by my GM who was doing the same and am an og 100 member to this day. From the PvP side, happy moments from when I soloed my first resource and the first time I won a 1v1 against a higher level player (granted, I got in a lucky shot with my destro staff and knocked them clean off Alessia bridge, but daaaaang it felt SO good!!!!!) Most recent has been Greymoor, which brought happiness as the Rivenspire main quest is my absolute favorite (pretty much because of Gwendis 😍) and I happy cried finishing the Reach main quest.
Hmmn, many many mamories, but probably beating vMA for the first time, after so much pain and suffering.
My first time soloing a vet dungeon was also quite an achievement for me at that time, very fond mamories of that also.
Winning my first match in a dueling tournament was pretty sweet, I dont duel so I went in pretty wet, but was pleasantly surprised and I had great fun.
The trial where I found my first raid guild. It was nCR +0 just for the Halloween boxes. I was in Craglorn, joined and got asked to join voice where I was greeted by 11 Australians of varying levels of intoxication. Raid lead ended up saying I could have any gear I wanted if I joined the guild (despite my terrible DPS at that point). Over two years on I'd followed that raid lead through every guild, got the support I needed to cap out at 95k on trial dummy in the Scalebreaker patch (down to 75k now with less frequent play) and have cleared every trial on vet, including some HM. But it all started with a drunk joke run with some drunken Aussies and I will always love that that was where I went from a potato with no idea what I was doing to someone capable of doing all the game has to offer.
Simply discovering the combat mechanics and the fact that I could use any weapons and armors I wanted. Also the fact that I could craft my own stuff.
Arriving at the docks of Daggerfall.
Discovering that I could break into houses and steal stuff.
That time in Cyro 2 years ago when me and a group of noobs got our asses kicked by one PVP god near a farm. I managed to kill him at point blank with a ballistae while the others distracted him.
When I used a respec scroll on one of my characters by accident. I "lost it" and decided to respecify all 5 of them. At the time I started to grow bored of the game because they were lame but I swaped some of their gears and swaped some from stam to mag and they became much better.
First vMA clear
Finishing the imperial city questline with my PVE main
Finishing my primary residence.
When I discovered that I wasn't totally hopeless as a tank, it was just that DKtank wasn't for me.

Probably doing SCP HM with a PUG. We had almost given up after quite a few unsuccessful attempts but decided to try one last time and somehow managed to pull it off. It just felt really cool
So many. The start quest with Mannimarco and the amazing cutscene. The quests and getting immersed in the story and atmosphere of a zone. The first housing and antiquities system. Getting the hourglass furnishing after having given up hope of it.
back when the game worked, we could block cancel, and proc sets were not ruling pvp... good times
PvP players can block? I thought they were all dodge rolling in PvP land.. Sorry totally off topic of course.. But I'm astonished to hear such things as "block" in PvP... They don't have shields(not "shields", but actual physical shields) in PvP. I think now the werewolfs are running the PvP game..
First vma complete... I was more relieved I guess... the happiest is running anything with my buddies who are the chillest yet sweatiest group of people I know...
Fighting in Cyrodiil the first few months before everyone was maxed out and "strats" were still all over the place.
Participating in my first defense of The ChAlamo seeing siege on all sides with what felt like hundreds of blues and yellows (probably dozens) fighting outside the walls then storming the gates and breaches.
Spending hours fighting up and down the bloody fields of BRK-Alessia corridor and the seemingly never ending slaughter at Alessia Bridge.
Full faction scroll defenses and scroll runs.
Killing dozens with ground oils
And never having my game crash or skills completely lock up
"it's important to state that our decision to go with subscriptions is not a referendum on online game revenue models. F2P, B2P, etc. are valid, proven business models - but subscription is the one that fits ESO the best, given our commitment to freedom of gameplay, quality and long-term content delivery. Plus, players will appreciate not having to worry about being "monetized" in the middle of playing the game, which is definitely a problem that is cropping up more and more in online gaming these days." - Matt Firor
i've forgotten most of my early memories.
of the more recent ones... probably seeing all 6 of my lizards and 6 of my cats
outfitted and leveled, doing crafting writs, with builds jotted down to be farmed.
Coming to Seyda Neen by boat, just like all those years ago. I was absolutely stunned, the beauty of this game, of my Morrowind. Getting to explore it all again.
Finding the courage to ask a random acquaintance I met through group finder to have a look at my rotation and build. Reaching those sweet 50k on a 3mil dummy for the first time AND making a good friend.
After weeks of trying, clearing Scalecaller Peak hardmode with guys from the guild/friends of friends and then finding a small note next to my name in the guild roster calling me "Mistress of Scalecaller Peak". Dunno who did that. I'll never change it, even if after several years it's not my biggest achievement by far.
Fully decorating my first house, making it a home. Sitting on the balcony there with a friend and telling each other stories about our characters the whole night.
Getting Emperor, running with a friend,just the two of us like 80% of the time. Asking the guild for help with that final push and having a total "And Rohan will answer!" moment.
Lots of small moments too. Eso gave me lots of happy memories.
- Returning to Morrowind
- Going for that final skyshard beyond the gate in Cyrodiil only to find another player from a different faction was also there and, in a show of generosity and understanding, they left me alone to collect the shard. Good and kind people make me happy.
