Since there're so many new people I thought it would be funny if the elders of the game had a way back thread. I'll start

    Back in my day, Hundings and Julianos was Meta in PvP. Its was stupid to run heavy armor. Vampire was optinal. A dk stacked a main attribute pool. Twice born stars was BiS in pve. Vetran Zones mudcrabs had to be defeated while fully buffed. On console vMoL firstboss had people taping the healthbar on the T.V screen. Bloodspawn was the only DPS dummy. VMA daggers were a thing(the first time). Three piece V.O, Fourpiece I.A or MoonDancer.

    If I edited a post, it was for spelling. It is always because of spelling....

    Back in my day I thought Rash Merchant's Plummet was a high-difficulty shortcut to the mainland, and that I could just walk to Cyrodiil after managing to cross it.

    Back in my day...
    - You could not finish a zone without overleveling it. (that is why I finished cadwell's gold before I finished my main alliance's zones)
    - Mudcrabs were deadly when you went exploring other zones (like rushing to malabal tor as a level 14 character)
    - You had to sneak in Craglorn to farm materials, because the mobs could one or two shot you.
    - Only way to get ruby materials was from DLCs or Cyrodiil - without DLC access and without entering Cyrodiil the highest was CP140 materials.
    (When I first started to play ESO after the beta there were loyalty rewards, I joined a month before the loyalty rewards were removed)
    - City of Ash 2 was the most difficult content there was
    - There were 3 different undaunted keys, I have a blue quality monster set shoulders as a reminder of those days.

    Back in my day, Cadwell's silver was a ghost town.

    Flurry took about 10 hours to finish casting and did less damage than a heavy attack.

    Stamina DK had no poison morphs.

    Everyone thought we were getting Vet 17-18 gear in Orsinium.

    Being a vampire or werewolf was an exclusive and exciting thing. The bite trade was vicious and lucrative.

    Vampire ult was OP in pvp.

    Maelstrom dual wield and Kena set with Agility jewelry.

    Black Rose was OP.

    20K DPS was a lot.

    "What's a stam sorc?"

    Camo hunter was OP.

    "Proc sets will kill the game!"

    Viper's was OP.

    Vicious Death was OP

    Everything was OP.

    Templar Sun Shield.

    Struggling to find a new class to call home.Please send help.

    When you first encountered more than one normal mob, especially if there were three or more, you actually had to think about how to beat them.

    I miss that challenge, these days even end of quest bosses just fall over if you breathe on them.

    I've been running my new Necro without assigning CP and still using level 4 gear(she's lvl 19 now), it's just starting to get a bit more interesting. :)

    It's been a long time but i vaguely remember that someone data mined VR18 items after VR16 became the cap (which simply had a zero added and two letters changed to make it CP160, the current cap).
