✭✭For me it was the newness of the lore and learning new stories to add to everything I knew from the solo TES games. I didn't like grouping with people because I wanted to listen to all the dialogue as if I was a character in that world, and everyone just wanted to zip through everything and follow the quest compass like most other MMOs. I still listen to the dialogue if it's a quest I never encountered before, or one which I really loved on my main and now I'm doing it on an alt.HEARTHLIGHT - A guild for housing enthusiasts!

WatchYourSixx✭✭✭✭My fondest memory of ESO was my first ever encounter with the treasure hunt in Stros M'Kai. I spent hours trying to find the damn star, then once I figured that out I thought "OH! I can see the warrior statue!" And I went to the giant statues in the town, which wasn't it. Then I spent another hour finding that. I searched every inch of that map basically trying to do that treasure hunt. It was the lack of hints in the quests that made me really fall in love with ESO's questing early on. I literally was given just a list of landmarks and a quest that says "Here go find this." Those are the quests that really leave an impact on me. I don't always want an indicator that points me exactly where I need to go.
I also thoroughly enjoyed solving the riddles of the skyshards. Though that got old after about the 3rd character...
I took my sweet time leveling to 50 the first time, but I remember how absolutely excruciating it was to lvl to V12 at the time of me hitting 50. Then after I got to V6 they raised the cap to V14 and made it sooooo much easier to lvl. I was kinda pissed I didn't just wait a month or two and lvl to V14 from V1...
My most memorable moments of this game early on though were spending early access week questing with my bro. We spent a lot of time early and he kinda just stopped playing after the free month...The only thing to fear is, fear itself. - FDR

✭✭✭✭✭Early console PvP.
Everyone was scaled exactly the same and CPs ranged from 0-30.
With the exception of PC transfers there was perfect balance, and lag was minimal to nonexistant.Edited by Vaoh on March 28, 2017 1:00AM0 -

✭✭Finally killing the Manticore after months of trying
Finally killing Aldimion after months of trying during the beta. He killed me so many times - about every five levels or so I'd go back and try to fight him again. For me he was a lot harder than Doshia.0 -

People raging on Doshia.
Generally, the collaborative nature of beta+launch. Nothing will compare to clearing dungeons with an informal group during beta, all in crappy dropped nonset gear, taking a few minutes to come up with new strategies after each wipe, just generally working together to be better.Thrice Empress, Forever Scrub1 -

Yes destroying whole zergs on my magic DK with 350cp to start and maxed out gold gear was a lot of fun. I miss dropping my meteor in a group and they didn't even know to hold block so they all died.
But my fav memory of ESO was the 5 day early start on pc and everyone had the imperial mount and daggerfall looked like popcorn with all the white mounts jumping around was the craziest sight to see, crashed like 3 times trying to get out of the city then after people ran out I went back in just to find I could not finish the main story. The adds that where suppose to respawn in the ships at the docks where not XD0 -

I felt like such a boss on my black horse & everyone else were riding white horses or orange ones.

Becoming one of the first handful of "natural" vampires after launch. Totally by accident, wandering down a path in the Rift minding my own business, and got jumped by a whole pack. My main is one of the oldest children of Lamae that still walks the face of Tamriel.2 -

xSkullfox✭✭✭✭✭The difficultyGroupfinder:
The worst part is when it finally puts you in a group, your healer turns into a werewolf, your tank has 14k HP and the dps is heavy armor, using a restro staff and a two handed sword on the backbar. Then comes the 15 minute penalty before the cycle starts anew.

- The second rule of Morrowind is: You do not talk about Morrowind.
- Third rule of Morrowind: Someone yells NDA stuff, uploads images, streams, the game is over.
- Fourth rule: only invited players can test.
- Fifth rule: one invite at a time, fellas.
- Sixth rule: crying or bashing on pts.
- Seventh rule: NDA will go on as long as they have to.
- And the eighth and final rule: If this is your first invite at Morrowind, you have to play.

DrSweetazz✭✭✭✭When rearming trap was broken and instantly fired over and over again. One of the most broken but hilarious bugs in pvp.
The more Ppl that walked into it, the more damage it would dish out0 -
Zourem✭✭To be honest, I kinda miss the softcaps.
I know a lot of people will hate me for saying this but softcaps actually allowed some decent hybrid building.2
