    EDIT: I saw some of ChimneySwift and Fengrush's ESO stuff on YouTube, and I thought to myself: I must have this game. Little did I know, I was in for one hell of a ride :)

    May 2015. I was put off by the massive amount of negative attention ESO got or might of joined earlier. Once I heard that ZoS was straightening up their act I decided to give it a shot.

    Edit: and to be honest I am quite happy I did.

    Beta tester here!
    Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

    Meet my characters:
    Command: Do the thing.

    Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
    Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
    Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
    Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
    Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
    Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
    Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
    Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
    Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
    Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.

    Maybe there's life after 50...
    But I won the game, so probably not necessary.

    Played since May 2014, changed from PC EU to PC NA in December of 2014 though, swap caused by then toxic end game guilds destroying other guilds. Did a few days of Beta before launch of the game but couldn't afford it the first month of the game but been subbed ever since I got it.

    Should have had:
    - Since Beta,
    - Since Launch
    - Over 1 year
    - 3 months to 1 year
    - less than 3 months

    ...because 2-3 years and 3 years+ is meaningless across the formats.

    To be fair, @vpy hasn't been around long enough to understand how you would actually parse this stuff apart.

    I'd say:
    • Psijic Order Member
    • Since the original betas
    • The Level cap is Vet 10
    • No, it's Vet 12
    • Get with it people it's V14
    • It's V16 now, and all our gear is nerfed.

    Nice to see those kind of results. At least it might make ZOS double-think who's the target audience and that they can't get away with catering to newbies anymore but to the long-term guys.

    "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 feel some people might be a little afraid to vote. Looking at the stats, only 1 person so far has said they are 0 to 3 months, and even only 9 in the 1 to 2 year bracket, by far the most is in above 3 years. I understand the people who have been here for 3 years are proud of that, but for the people who are newer players, don't be afraid to vote! :) I feel that people are worried they might get talked down to or not taken seriously just because they haven't been here that long. I'm just certain that there must be more newer players on the forums than this lol.

    3 weeks and not afraid to say it, why would I? I'm having a blast so far, playing PVE solo. I used to play Guild Wars, and GW2. Have joined a few guilds in those games along the way and did not really enjoy it, I seemed to run into all the turds. ESO people seem nicer, less "hey look at me, I'm better than you, noob". I think ESO is a better game, a lot of similarities, but better.
