Just a little background here first. I had a character that I got up to V5, which I used primarily for the PvE main storyline. Once I'd completed that, I went into Cyrodiil... and had a lot of fun, but I ultimately decided to change my playstyle and skillset because of my PvP experiences there.
The thought of re-doing all the storyline filled me with horror (although I loved it the first time around), but I planned to fly through the main quests until I reached V1 and could re-try Cyrodiil. Instead, I joined the Blackwater Blade campaign at level 10, intending just to get the skill point from the tutorial and whatever bonuses my faction could provide.
I was kind of shocked to see that DC had no bonuses, no keeps and no scrolls, and decided to go investigate the closest enemy-held fort. This proved to be one of those "game-changing" decisions for me as I ran into trouble right at the gate, got invited into a large group of players.... and had the most fantastic ESO gaming experience I've had since getting the game! The last 2 or 3 evenings I've dedicated to this campaign, and it has been astonishingly enjoyable - constant action, lots of new tactics I'd not seen in my previous Cyrodiil gameplay, and a fantastic bunch of players
I'm kind of sad now at the thought of levelling to Veteran levels and losing out on this campaign. Actually, now that I think about it... apart from the necessary levelling of skills, I'm going to avoid doing the main story line at all so that I can enjoy this for as long as possible!
And to my fellow DC teammates - I know we have no real estate right now, but you guys (generic term, not gender-specific) have been great fun to play with
