    I totally understand where you're coming from.

    1. Do you still play ESO?  I do but it's not my primary game.  I always swore never to get 100% engrossed in an MMO again (old Warcraft deal..lol)
    2. If you do play ESO, what platform and server do you prefer? What are your characters, what level are they, and to what alliance do they belong?  I play on the PC, North America server.  Only one character, a High Elf mage.
    3. If you have not played in a while, what would draw you back into the game?  N/A
    4. What kind of content would you like to see in the ESO Group? (guides about game mechanics, builds, lore, screenshots, etc.).  Build suggestions (Warcraft typically grouped these by Tank/DPS/Healing/PVP specs)
    5. Would you participate in Tamriel Vault events in the game? Possibly, honestly depends on who was involved. 
    6. Would you join a Tamriel Vault guild?  Again possibly/probably.

    Thanks! I have an upcoming Sorc DPS build I'm writing up for the Vault. It will take the build in stages: 1-14; 15-30; 31-50; Vet 1-16.

    I don't play ESO but I think I'd enjoy teaming up with you Lissette: I stop and smell the roses too . Way too slow for my guildmates in other MMOs I've played: they always seemed to be in a huge hurry.

    I know. I was constantly running to catch up, my poor fat khajiit was huffing and puffing. It was really rather sad. Roses smell nice.

    First off it's great to see you taking charge here Patriarch. By the sounds of things you're going to be bringing in the enthusiasm this group needs

    Do you still play ESO?

    Sort of. Been leveling up a new character with a friend but we only get a chance to play about once a month.

    If you do play ESO, what platform and server do you prefer? What are your characters, what level are they, and to what alliance do they belong?

    I'm on the NA Megaserver on PC. I've got several characters - a VR14 Templar, VR1 Nightblade and a Sorcerer in their mid-20s in the Dominion, a Sorcerer in their mid-20s in the Pact and a Dragonknight in their teens in the Covenant.

    If you have not played in a while, what would draw you back into the game?

    Hmm, probably some organized events of some variety - PvP or PvE (cross faction duels could be fun?). Unfortunately the PC side of the group doesn't seem terribly active anymore and it's a little difficult for me because of my timezone and work/other commitments.

    What kind of content would you like to see in the ESO Group? (guides about game mechanics, builds, lore, screenshots, etc.).

    I think some more guides would be great. ESO is a very in depth game and many aspects can be daunting for both old and new players (I think crafting, group dungeons and PvP are the big ones). Unfortunately I don't really think I'm enough of an expert to write one, especially considering I haven't been really in to the game since November 2014. I'd be happy to participate in any of those discussions you mentioned though!

    Would you participate in Tamriel Vault events in the game?

    Sure, if they're at a time I'd be able to attend them.

    Would you join a Tamriel Vault guild?

    Sure, I think a guild with an open bank policy would be great for everyone involved.

    Please share any other ideas you might have (ok, not a question – more like a request)

    Back in 2014 a couple of months after the original release on PC, I met a couple of lovely ladies also from Australia while working through some tough quests/world bosses together. We got along really well and ended up starting an RP guild and eventually branched in to PvP once our numbers grew. My time with that guild ranks among some of my best gaming memories.

    Especially considering the type of people on the Tamriel Vault, I think a similar sort of format could work out really well here. ESO has loads of potential for RP for TES nerds like us, with heaps of cool locations, outfits, emotes and the like we can use to tell our own stories in game.

    Hi:  I played a little bit of ESO when it first came out, or maybe it was back in beta.  I didn't really get into it, although it was a beautiful game.  I've been thinking lately, though, about seeing what's happening in the game after 2 years have passed and the kinks mostly worked out.  I'd be interesting in joining a guild and doing whatever a new char/new to game person could do to help out.  I enjoy PVP but am definitely not good at it ! But I really like the exploration and helping groups with quests aspects of the game.  I'll take a look at some of the character builds here and once I make a character or two I'll post again.  Are most TV people on EUR or NA ?

    Great to hear that you might give it another try. I think there is a healthy mix of NA and EUR. Are you PC, PS4, or X1?

    By the way, I would use the builds here as merely a guide. Although they would be perfect for lower level game play, some skills have changed slightly over the last two years. It's best to choose a class and get a feel for the gameplay yourself. Try out every skill in your class.
