Currently Playing: ESO and FFXIV
Have played: You name it
If you mention rose tinted glasses, you better be referring to Mitch Hedberg.
I went to the ESO early access
And all I got was this lousy post.
'Sandbox MMO' is a PTSD trigger word for anyone who has the experience to know that anonymous players invariably use a 'sandbox' in the same manner a housecat does.
When your head is stuck in the sand, your ass becomes the only recognizable part of you.
No game is more fun than the one you can't play, and no game is more boring than one which you've become familiar.

Actually, I don't really care about levels or hours... I played together with my family (wife and daughter) and loved it.
You make me like charity
Got to level 24, beat 6 of the levelling instances and had tons of fun.
Really different and enjoyable game. Bugged quests and the broken XP courve (you are too low to progress even after doing all the quests on an area) are only downsides I've found so far.
lvl 20
10 in all crafts
finishd all quests in stone fall
built an 80 man guild while doing all of this
fucking lovin every min of it.
I was able to play a couple of days earlier than official game launch.
Did anybody get something different?

Level 7 Sorc.
Level 7 DK.
Level 8 NB
Level 12 Temp.
All crafting skills to 13 or more.
Purchased 2 backpack upgrades on level 12 and 2 bank tabs. Not sure if i really like the shared bank space only, i would of been happier if they had a smaller shared vault and a separate individual vault per toon.
I do not think the guild auction houses will work, it is very limiting and kind of strange, plus the chats are just gigantic spam fests either in public chat or in trade guild chats.
I spent at least 6 hours a day playing for the 5 days, with the exception of the 14hour downtime.
If for some reason the game closed tomorrow i would say i still got my monies worth.
Lolipops !
Pretty much what I wanted. Knocked out the 2 starter islands and first zone in EP, all areas completed and skyshards and lorebooks discovered (I actually read them, and all the other books).
LvL 18 nightblade with woodworking and clothing to 10. Spent my money on getting my bag space up, almost to 100 now with horse improvements, and vault space is 100. Cant complain too much at all, having a great time.
Now to lawl at the stupidity on this and the official forums.
I've got WELL over 36 hrs of gametime in.. even with down time.
I've got 3 toons level 10, and 1 thats 8. I've played AD, EP, and DC storylines. I've got most of my crafts to 10 on each toon. I've also got the pack upgrade for each toon and 2 bank upgrades. (I REALLY need more space though)
Alot of frustration and alot of chatting with customer support.
I yet have to set my foot inside Tamriel. But the game has not worked for me yet.
That is my ESO headstart experience. Forum and customer support.
Got to level 8 and didn't even start crafting, didn't even start instances, didn't even start PvP, didn't even scratch the surface!
I thought a month would be plenty time to get through the content, but I don't think it will be. At least not for me.

A main and three alts, all four classes covered, all key crafting skills covered, all three alliances covered, and the knowledge -- with all due respect to the fanboys -- that this game still isn't ready for prime time.
I won't sub until a lot of issues are fixed: balance issues (melee builds suck relative to ranged builds), bugs, memory management issues, bugs, subpar questing / design of quests / organization of quests in all but the Daggerfall Covenant, bugs, duplicity of quests between alliances, bugs, performance issues, bugs, etc.
Very little time to play but am level 9 and about to grind a ton of plants for alchemy next. Got to set up settings especially sound to maximize immersion. Got into a rhythm of play style I like. My NB caster is working out great with the knowledge I gained from beta.
Taking it slow and easy and enjoying the lore. Love the optional chat choices that are pure lore base. Seeking out non-quest npcs also sometimes provides some great information even though it may not proc a quest.
You stay sassy!

Guys, do you actually progress while your skills advance? For example, if you open a book, get your Heavy Armor to 7, will you see an actual rise in your experience bar? Would that mean that you can level up while getting your craft skills higher? Or do you just get experience finishing quests and killing things?
Oh, and to answer OP's question - got to level 7, finished all the quests in Khenarthi's Roost, had tons of fun.
Nice thread. Had fun . Read some funny stuff in chat. Met so great folks in game. Waiting impatiently for it to come back online So I can level. Hope some others had a good time too.

Server downtime sucks tough we were having quite a nice fight inside a dungeon with Daggerfall grr !
Be curious as to how you plan on farming plants. You would have alot if you picked them up while questing. What are you going to do, run all over the world again looking for plants? have fun.
2 level 15s with crafting skills around 5.
