    Back in my day stamblades were squishy as f and didn't have a direct heal if you wouldn't pvp for vigor. You HAD to kill to stay alive. Solo pve stamblade was considered hard mode, even if you did have vigor.

    Things are very different.

    Back in my days, which amounts to almost 2 decades of playing MMOs, maintenance only happened once in a few months, and they were short, and they actually fixed sh*t instead of breaking some more stuff.

    Anyone remember that 'blink' templar skill that made people miss attacks? Before it was changed to the execute. Always remember the sound it made and the animation, made people have headaches.

    Back in my day, we didn't have motif pages, we had motif BOOKS! Finding a purple book or even Imperial was like the best farming day ever lol

    It took me bloody forever to get some things done, because of my time zone and when I could play, I sometimes would go weeks without seeing a single other player. They were out there, in other factions maybe, logging in at different times, in different zones even. So I solo'd most of my time prior to One Tamriel in a very real way. (I like it better now)

    Back in my day, you found the delve/pub dungeon bosses by the crowd of bots camping their spawn, and then spent 10 minutes trying to maybe get a hit in so that you could get credit and move on. Or went to loot a node, only to have a bot grab it before you - from under the ground! Ahhhh, the good old days...

    Back in my day, a MMORPG had a guild-list and friend-list feature which worked.
    If it does not, the company would try to provide some compensation and tells you that they are sorry for ruining your gaming evening / day off.

    Not for me! That's where I started too. In fact, the first day I wanted to set up a D&D scenario, I didn't have any graph paper around (too many years since school I guess) so I MADE MY OWN. Nope. Not kidding.... drew it out with pencil then went over it with indelible ink (like used for daughter's PE uniforms), so I could let the kids erase stuff....

    Ran games for daughter and her friends from jr high (now called middle school I think?) - that lasted for a few years, then they all got older, found the opposite gender in a different way, and then went off to college and RL. It WAS fun while it lasted though!

    I only joined today, didn't know there are guilds in ESO.
    And PvP, what's that?
    Also (off-topic) : How do you add friends in ESO? I found the friends tab but it says "0/0 online"?!?
