Are there any old farts out there?...Or am I the only one.

I'm 59 this month and love the game! I have two characters, one I've just nurtured to level 50 and is now Vet Rank 1, I'm chuffed to bits. Need to bring the second character up to spec now. I love the dungeons, but am totally rubbish in the campaigns. No sooner I arrive, I'm killed and have to re spawn half way across the map again.
My pet hate? THAT RUDDY THUNDERSTORM!!!!!2 -

Cookiethief✭✭✭Im 21, so old mannnnMy biggest fear in life is, ending up marrying a girl who is lactose intolerant, think about it you would have to purchase double the amount of milk every week, cause you enjoy the goodness of full cream milk and she is drinking soy beans, and her milk takes up extra room in the fridge, or when you are doing a midnight run to the fridge to get a nice cup of milk and to accidentally pour some Soy milk. I couldn't imagine a worst way to do married life. - Barry Scott1 -
Sureshawt✭✭✭✭49 here.
My first MMO was Ultima Online which got me hooked on the genre. The good ole days where you didn't have to grind to compete. Instead once you reach skill point cap you just enjoyed the game and adjusted your build just by using/not using skills. Players created much of the content as it was a sandbox game and role-playing had meaning.
My favorite memories are of being chased by PKs as a newb with my heart rate pounding. Then once I became powerful and learned how to fight back I turned the table on them. I would act like a newb and bait them into attack or just hang in the newb harvesting areas and protect non-PvPrs. Rolling with other red killers and group fights. Being a successful PK (Red) hunter was the best of times in that game.
Ah the days before the carrot on a stick approach perverted the genre. Such fond memories of that game

Guild: Grown Up Problems
3 VR toons
Hate PvP... in just about anything... enjoy Vet dungeons and working toward end game content in PvE
Typically game with down to earth / well balanced / level headed / professionals / who all have high family values / and... we all disband most of that crap in the day-to-day to be gamers and potty mouthed adults - still in touch with their inner child on the evening / weekends because a break from reality to de-stress, unplug and unwind.
We work to level up, gear grind, our goal is to get to a point where we can do more end game dungeons, trails, dragon star, and the alike. Fellowship, toon progress, and a relaxed pace and end game content is all we are really after. Some of us are more aggressive toward crafting skills and leveling up / optimizing than others. All of us have other responsibilities thus the title of the Guild. A few of us have multiple toons. We are about as far from organized or structured as a guild can get. We only created it so we could use the functions to see when folks were on. It serves a purpose for us to to use the features in the game. However, as we start getting into the mid-Vet levels with some toons, and we earn some of those gold keys and a few of the monster helms, we have started to get a taste of the end game content, and a few of us have ramped up our leveling. I'll hit VR8 with a DK tonight.
Anyway, sandwich-maker, T&A, fart jokes politics, you name it just come with the territory from time to time... we are all very boisterous, very pro-gun / anti-liberal, and I can't think of a topic that doesn't come across the mic at some point or another... it takes a thick skin to be around our crowd I suppose... some of the folks on my friends list I've gamed with for over 10 years online... those I continue to game with over the years know, we leave modern political correctness at the door... but everyone I tend to get along with has a barbershop type of respect for one another. You can call someone a fvck-tard, ***, vag or short-bus-riding-window-licker and nobody gets offended... If you can appreciate the humor in movies like the Hangover and Grand Turino, then you might get the nature of the folks I game with and you might even fit in... maybe.
Not really looking to swell the ranks or anything, but always happy to meet other folks of like mind who want to do some Vet Dungeons or end game content... and our doors are open. Just note the above. If any of the above sounds alarming or offensive, we are a bad fit. No worries. It's us not you...

Lying around would mean you become Clannfear food but it is a good tactic if you want to catch one of those sharp toothed blighters unawares. As the Beastie comes over for a nibble, wait a little, they make a funny gurgling sound just as it is about to take a bite and thrust a blade into its jugular, it will leap away from you and bleed out allowing one to have Clannfear steaks once it's life expires.
Adding something simple as salt and lemon works wonders for taste. You can find those things if you sneak around the buildings and have a rummage through some folks belongings. You could also casually take stuff in Hollow city.
I found some coffee on a few occasions, Daedra love coffee and I expect that if you disturb them while on a coffee break, they get a little bit hostile like some people who work in an office who have cups on their desks which have coffee measurements on the outside of their cup ranging from "Don't speak to me or even look in my direction" to "You may speak" crudely written with their own poop or someone else's blood.
Oh, I'm sorry I do believe I went on a bit of a ramble there. I think that adventures in Cold harbour is an absolutely smashing way to keep the boredom away.
Watcher tentacle stew is rather nice, a few carrots, potatoes and nirnroot for a little special zing. Everyone makes if different there. Soulshriven on the other hand, don't really do much. The just stand around looking rather sorry for themselves. Don't bother trying to strike up a conversation with those people it can be rather dull.

✭@Elektrakosh Ohhhh this starts to worry me. Daedras are immortal and if you eat them in any way or shape, they are still alive. I wonder if I go on a killing spree on Coldharbour, catch and eat Watchers and Clannfears, will they drink the coffee I pour down my throat?
This is a very serious issue, as I am highly addicted to coffee. I play as a healer in dungeons, and when I don't get enough coffee, for some reason my team mates die in the most mysterious ways.0 -

@failkiwib16_ESO That's why hot fires are important. Stops the meat from regenerating. I think with lesser Daedra, their life Essence is displaced to somewhere else before they respawn so Daedra are immortal, that is true. I've eaten a few Clannfear morsels and they have not done me any harm...Yes I do look a bit loose in the skin but that's cold harbour for you.
Looks like You'll and the weapon wielding Daedra will be fighting over the coffee. It seems to be in short supply but I've managed to scrounge a sizable amount during my stay. I'm a tea drinker, myself.
