    I think it's pretty clear that the reason why a lot of us are still here is due to how much time and money we've invested into this game.

    I started prior to the IC reveal, but I have taken a few breaks so I have not been constantly playing for all that time.

    My thought is the poll is not reflective of the player base to any extent. Newer players are probably less likely to come to the forums unless they have an issue.

    Started with beta dropped out after a bit over an year and came back a bit over a year later.
    Pretty much daily since then
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    To my fellow oldies:

    Which bit of beta is/was considered "the closed beta"? I thought it was all invite-only, but maybe I'm wrong. According to my emails, I signed up for the beta in Nov 2013. The next mail I have (from Feb 2014) talks about breaking stress test records, so I assume more was going on before then.

    Timeframes, anyone?

    Actually played in Alpha. Or really a year before that when they were first at E3 showing the game. But really started on my own computer in alpha. I ran into Wykkd's in zone during that phase (The guy that first made some of the Wykkd addons before he left the game) and he explained a lot of the basics of the game to me as this was my first MMO.

    "Closed Beta" is always invite only beta. That's why it is closed. usually they do rounds of closed betas. Open beta is essentially open to anyone who wants to participate OR who meets whatever requirements are set (pre-ordering for instance). But it's not invite only, so it is "open" to almost everyone. I believe I was a 2nd round beta invitee, which was November of 2013. Then I tried the open beta which was like a month or something before the April 2014 launch.

    Yea, what I meant was that I thought the whole of ESO's beta was invite-only, thus I was asking if all beta here = closed beta.

    I suppose I could've just asked "When did the open beta start for ESO?"

    Derp.

    I've run out of quests now (which is all I play for) on my main, and I hit max CP today. Starting to feel like I may be done soon. :disappointed:

    Since beta and first 6 months after release pretty much non-stop, in those times when it was so trendy to bash this game.
    After that it’s on and off affair, I’m glad that now it’s got a good name among mmo’s it always deserved.

    Although the majority of votes are since launch/beta, nearly 50% of them aren't. I think ESO picks up new players often, but doesn't have the same appeal to players that had a rough time when it launched.

    I've certainly played my fair share since launch. I'd say at least 500 or so of those hours were AFK though, so more like 4,293.

    Few months or so after launch, so 4-5years'ish...
    Still have me first toon, an Argonian Stamina Sorc "Terrible-Thunder-Lizard." Still remember the the zone chats, were a few people still learning and someone asked about stam sorcs... wished I took pics of those answers... roughly something, something Sorcs are only magicka dps or nothing, and trying to be a stam sorc was utter blasphemy and get you "reported" for trolling your group.
