    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

    OMG yes I remember this! :love: in fact that's me (well, my character) wearing the Bloobthorn disguise and dancing behind the naked red hair chick. I have a bunch of screenshots from that day, so memorable!

    Which reminds me of a few things about the topic of this thread:

    - Bloodthorn disguise was a cool looking jerkin with ribcage bones (later "primal motif") instead of a full robe.

    - You could only /dance in your propiate race not the rest.

    - NPCs facial animations was non existant they moved their lips like robots

    I have a few.

    When the best way to kill Doshia was Silver Bolts.

    Sellable dungeon gear.

    The dolmen bosses used to drop unique items, and everyone wanted Dylora's Staff.

    Waiting outside the dungeon to find a group for it.

    Going to a zone 5 levels early meant you got destroyed, the game forced you to level up to progress through the world. The Silver and Gold zones were basically always dead, motifs such as Daedric and Ancient Elf were dropped in VR areas only.

    "It's here!" - Riften

    My morning routine was to loot every container in Davon's Watch for recipes and prov mats and then cook all the mats and vendor the food/drink for gold.

    Frequently advising people in zone to relog when whatever-it-was wasn't spawning/working.

    A lever in the water temple in khenarthi's roost could only be used by one player at a time and a line had formed when I got there so everyone could get their quest done.

    Barbaric, Primal, Ancient Elf and Daedric motif books made me SO much gold when I hit Silver and Gold areas.

    Still dread vCoA, Shadra's Tear and vDSA because of all the hours spent in them.

    Doshia and Beta Monkey, obviously...

    Making it to vet in Stonefalls, heading to the public dungeon, and myself and another guy being wiped by a single flame atronach...

    Players killing the NPCs for werewolf / vampire bites to force others to pay extortionate fees.

    Having to travel to different cities to turn in crafting writs.

    Am right in thinking that Haven didn't have a city wall to begin with?

    I used to be in a trial guild, we ran SO three times a week. There was death, victory and carnage going on all over Cyrodil. Yesterday the most dramatic thing I saw in Cyrodil was a tumbleweed rubber-banding over dusty bones - just before it crashed. The bid for my trader guild was 2 million for a prime spot - there was no crown selling or multi-bids.

    I remember when Balreth used to be a raid boss and he filtered out all the potato ep players. My goofy forum name as well.
    I wrote a poem that I titled, "The ganker's delight."

    As you lay upon the ground, cry not little pawn.
    The pain will pass as quickly as my blade did take you,
    but my delight will last and you will respawn.
    My heart simply cannot contain my joy, when I ply my trade.

    The fault lies with you, your skill was lacking.
    Now your salt is mine forever, can't you hear the laughing?
    Once you were so proud and now you are reduced to this.
    A miserable, loud deuced fool.

    With every tear you drip, with every excuse you let slip.
    All of your insecurities and worries bring a smile to my lip.
    From your despair I have ripped endless glories,
    but our affair is over now. Be afraid for I will return for more.

    I have received many titles, to my allies I am The sniper Emperor and Grand champion hero of the Pact. However these titles mean little to me, it is the ones given to me by my victims that I prefer. To them I am "Xv1er", "trash", "no balls", "zerger", "noob", "cringe", "no skill", "camper", "100% new", "the reason this game is dying", "pathetic", "a sack of piece of [snip]", "mediocre", "absolute inbred", "beyond a virgin", "ganky dork", "fat smelly 40yr old virgin", "little girl", "daddy", "exploiting loser", and every [snipped] word known to man.

    Playing your character the way your character should play is all that matters. Play as well as you can but never betray the character. Doing so would make playing an mmoRPG pointless.

    I remember looking forward to the Developer Question of the Week, listening to the ESO Weekly podcast waiting for news of the beta.

    Also, the leaked alpha footage where everyone got really scared because of how *** it looked, and, the finesse system where you generated ult by successfully doing things "with finesse" in combat.
