Just noticed I received my Eighth Anniversary badge in my profile. Anyone else from the early days kicking around, with this badge?
EDIT: Some screenshots from one of the beta sessions I took part in - I honestly can't remember which now. lol

fastolfv_ESO✭✭✭✭✭yah i got that one, though the forums actually existed about 4 yrs b4 the first beta and was rebuilt at the start of the closed beta phases so i feel like they should have kept the progress going from early forums. You should have seen how passionate elder scrolls fans were back then, the hype was real for a new pvp mmo5 -

✭✭✭✭✭I'm about 4 months off my 8 year forum badge. I first started in one of the 'middle' betas, things were looking pretty finished by then and I think even some of the voice acting was in, but there were still a lot of changes made before release.PC EU player | She/her/hers | PAWS (Positively Against Wrip-off Stuff) - Say No to Crown Crates!

Lol yeah I think I started the beta in November. There were some voice acting and some roboticized voices still. I have the videos of the beta on an old hard drive. It has the watermarks and such on it lol.
I still remember seeing dead bodies at the platform to escape coulharbor. I didn't know why they were dead there but I went up and was being lifted up into the air. Now I could get on to the rest of the game. The loading screen showing, then coming out of it and my body back came crashing back down.
That was a good laugh watching everyone fall back down.

Ahhh, I forgot about the robot voices they use as a placeholder while they were finishing up implementing the real VO.
Thank you for reminding me, it was truly an uncanny experience. lolPC-NA | PvP (Gray Host & BGs) | PvE (vTrials & vDGs)1 -

I changed mine because I don't like the "bXX_ESO" suffix - it wasn't part of my identity at that time. Besides, players can just click my name and look at my badges.PC-NA | PvP (Gray Host & BGs) | PvE (vTrials & vDGs)2 -

Yeah the robot voice was weird, especially when sometimes it would jump between speaking normally and robot voice when they hadn't recorded everything yet. It was fun though.phaneub17_ESO wrote: »Those of us who decided not to change our forum names that they assigned, that is proof of age.
Literally the first thing I did when I got on the forum was change my username. I think it was this forum which used everything before the @ in my email address as a default name, which was quite long and also included my full real name so I didn't want to post anything before changing it.
As someone else said if anyone cares to check they can look at the badges.PC EU player | She/her/hers | PAWS (Positively Against Wrip-off Stuff) - Say No to Crown Crates!

✭✭✭✭I'll be getting #7 in December...it's gone by fastTenesi Faryon of Telvanni - Dunmer Sorceress who deliberately sought sacrifice into Cold Harbor to rescue her beloved.
Hisa Ni Caemaire - Altmer Sorceress, member of the Order Draconis and Adept of the House of Dibella.
Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.***Order Draconis - well c'mon there has to be some explanation for all those dragon tattoos.
House of Dibella - If you have ever seen or read "Memoirs of a Geisha" that's just the beginning...
Nibenay Valley Chapterhouse - Where now stands only desolate ground and a dolmen there once was a thriving community supporting one of the major chapterhouses of the Order Draconis2 -
