    I am come, as the prophecies have foretold.

    *looks around his HD*

    I had the weirdest screenshots back in 2017... (Can't find the older pix for some reason...)

    EDIT: Woot, found 2014!

    This was my very first screenshot on live, 31 Mar 2014. Can't find the beta folder...

    And here was something I saw a lot in the early days of live. XD

    My forum account isn't that old because I never logged into it, I just played. I still have the monkey on all of my characters to show my DOMINANCE!

    My story is…similar…ish. I had a forum account 8 years ago. Some months after that I didn’t anymore, and now I’m coming up on the 7th anniversary of having an account again :*

    My Nightblade uses that pet, but honestly, I wish they would re-skin it a bit. It literally looks like it was pulled from pre-production and dropped in game. He is so low rez. :(

    Here, ish. My home game, but until they put in vet overland there really isn’t enough to sustain yet another return to main game. After the vet arenas, trials and arenas, cyro, and even finishing fishing achievements early, well.

    It really is just an awful, terrible waste there isn’t vet overland, just gives up a massive, potentially dangerous world that is right there.

    I live in the Fromsoftware games until such time as 90% of the content is not trivial. As it was in the very early closed beta, and for some reason never broach the heavyishh lift of puzzling out vet overland, and instantly competing with an entire genre of souls games.

    But until there is a much (much) better answer than go naked or whatever, I mostly just watch the crown store creep more PVP.

    i was here in 2013 beta as well but i don't remember exactly when/how we got that ^ still amazing looking TIGER mount?!?! All i remember is the original 'Imperial Horse' from pre-order i think.

    Anyways, i also got so overly sentimental that i kept my original MAILS, until Zenimax purged them from db lol...
    1Iok6VZ.jpg
    .... And hey does anyone remember that quest with 'Star Wars' referenced dialog was from too? ( plucked it from one of my other old screenshots)

    ESO is just as FUN now, if not more, as it was way back then imo. And i'm very interested to see what the next couple years leading to *10th Anniversary* have in store (pun intended) for us now that 'Deadlands' ended a certain era.

    For those wondering about the Tiger, you had to keep your subscription going for 2 straight years without a break. Note, it's not ESO+, it was back when you had to have a sub to even play at all.

    ahhhhh ok, no wonder i don't have it then , cuz i remember after i got *Emperor* the 1st time, i was so exhausted & burnt out from the game i had to take a break for a few weeks lol sheesh

    Oh well, cherish that TIGER! Def. one of the best non-glowy type mount i've ever seen!

    I also got my eight year badge a couple of weeks ago. This might be the longest I’ve ever played any game on a regular (daily) basis. Thanks, ZOS!

    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    Almost there, on the forums since January 2014.

    I would say "so many memories" but the truth is I don't remember much :D The monkey lives on the PC account, the secret FB beta group still exists.
