I was thrilled E$O will be everything I wanted 4 years ago when I started...Disappointment shortly followed.

If you look at my not-too-long list of prior suggestions, the game hasn't gone quite as I had thought either, but, what were you looking forward to the most when you logged in with your first character?

I started back in July 2015, me thinks.....

When I 1st start i was like.....ooo pretty landscape....ooo a goat....oooo a dead goat. Must kill more things.

Starting a quests and to be honest enjoying it more than Skyrim. The fact that I could go anywhere across world was ace.

I had to complete everything, so yeah I was addicted at the beginning...and still am.

Had one toon a mag sorc for a year then start with the alts.....:D Still need more character slots. lol

So much FUN at launch!!!!
EVERY DAY BE LIKE..........

I was happy that there was a new Elder Scrolls and sooo happy that I could play solo as well as in groups.

Started playing during PC early access. I was so excited about everything, but mainly about three things:

1. A chance to (re)visit the different areas of Tamriel.
2. Meaningful and impactful crafting.
3. The chance to enjoy RP and grouped content in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

...still, 1/3 isn't bad I suppose.

I stumbled across Morrowind in the Xbox Store this past November, it was on sale and I was looking for a new game and thought, hey why not? I played Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim..soo..lets do it!

I landed on the shore of Seyda Neen and started exploring Vvardenfell. I had no clue I was separated from my alliance (AD), that I wasn't were I "should" have started and it wasn't until level 30 that I ventured out of Vvardenfell, I had no idea who Alcast was, or that I shouldn't have an even spread of points across health/stam/magicka (lawlz). While trying to green a 2H sword I figured 65% odds were good, and wouldn't you know it, it destroyed my ONLY WEAPON (lawlz). So I had to go find a new sword somewhere. Thankfully I had a shield.

It was there however that I had my best game related story; I ran into another player as we acted like buffoons near the blacksmithing station in Vivec City. We decided to head out to kill things when we ran into two Aussie ladies and the four of us set out, gathering up loners and heading to overland bosses. After killing some giant spider thing (I had little idea what we were doing back then so I don't remember the name) we added a CP690 player to our group who saved our butts and he soon became "daddy", and thus the group set about Vvardenfell following "daddy" laughing and cutting up as we accidentally reset world bosses, died MANY times from some poisonous werewolf thing in a small cave, and had a genuinely great time playing the game. It still to this day hasn't been topped.

I still look back at Vvardenfell with fond memories and it felt like home for a while but after I arrived in Auridon, nothing else has felt like home. It's actually a weird feeling but after awhile I just have to go back. I can't be away from Auridon for too long. I go back to Vvardenfell to check out what I thought was the main game and laugh at some of the areas I used to go to thinking they were tough. I remember learning what the hell that evil sound was when some crazy contraption showed up in the sky (and to not just run to one like an idiot when NO ONE is there).

I still love the game and still look at it as I always have, a multiplayer version of Skyrim. I like going out on my own and doing my own thing and am very self sufficient but I also enjoy having many friends now and linking up to take down some dungeons.

When this was actually possible in PvP

The once and future king of AvAvA...(maybe?)

I'm playing ESO one year or so.
I'd heard about the game when it was in beta and I'd watched some overviews when the game was launched but I wasn't really interested. I wasn't a TES fan, I played Oblivion in 2007 but it failed in getting me interested in TES world. I also spent some time in Skyrim (a week or two) and dropped it as well.
It was interesting to try TES game as a MMO, especially since one of my thoughts about TES games was "why all this craft and dungeons in the game? It's pointless and boring. It's like MMO but there's no other players".
However, the fact that ESO hasn't Russian translation stopped me from buying this game.
One year ago I watched Russian ESO stream and they said there's an unofficial Russian translation. That day I decided to try out ESO finally.

And... It was cool! I've never seen such singleplayer-like quests in MMO before, every quest was so exciting and every new story about this world was interesting to me. I must admit that storytelling in ESO is brilliant. Neither Oblivion nor Skyrim didn't make what ESO did, it have got me interested in TES lore.
Later I did realize that crafting system here is almost brilliant as well. ESO is one of a very few MMORPGs which has a really good working and very interesting crafting system. I was excited even more when they said about upcoming furniture crafting in Homestead. One of my MMO dreams comes true!
Also, I was charmed by ESO's visuals. First time I saw a dark anchor falling down from the skies, I was just "Wow! Oh my God! It is awesome! Oh my God!" And then I've seen like 10-15 players fighting with daedra at this dolmen, I thought "So many players are actually doing content here, in a newbies zone. The game is alive, It's a very very good sign".
And I was wondered how many different activities the game can offer to players. These dolmens, dungeons, fishing, thieving, gathering crafting mats anywhere, crafting, also I'd never seen so many role-players in other MMOs...
Then was Cyrodiil. It was very exciting at the beginning, to see the lands of TES IV: Oblivion again. But it turned out that Cyrodiil is a typical copypasted quests and quite unusual PvP mechanics. I don't like it at all.

Well, that's my little story. I think that ESO is one of the best (the only best for me now) MMORPGs, though I always have something to complain about.

Wearing any armor you looted from a mob regardless of quality or weight.

Intentionally leaving certain armor slots empty cause you wanted a certain look.

Using magic skills on your Sorc but equipping swords cause you wanted to look cool fighting.

Discovering how to craft and improve your own gear and thinking how awesome you are now.

Having no idea what a build was until Veteran 11.

Collecting the motifs was a lot of fun early on. I miss watching some of the early streamers too like @Erlex .

Yeah that whole Tamriel Foundry group vanished?

Guess I'll take a turn. Had to dig to find some of this...

Glimpses of my initial experiences that got me pumped to play:

The game has changed some since then (hey, devs, this still needs attention), but it's good to see newer players still getting excited for the game.
