Has it really been that long? Wow. :tongue:

Also means the Tamriel Rebuilt project is 10 years old and still alive, that's pretty amazing too.

Technically Morrowind won't turn ten for the next few hours. It's not May 1st anywhere in America yet and the game was released May 2nd in Europe, so it's not ten there either. :tongue:

But still pretty awesome! I plan to spend the entire upcoming day playing a whole lot of Morrowind. My level 20 Argonian isn't done with the main quest yet!

We need to do something to celebrate this annivesery, maybe have someone make a list of crap that we need to find/kill and have people tell where they found it at, not rare stuff per se but maybe common things or people. Like maybe you have to find a dregh helmet, six sload soap, an iron halberd, dwarven crossbow, a silver weapon, and a bottle...ya know just for fun

Happy 10th, Morrowind! It's hard to believe that it's been that long. My Neraverine will be completing the main quest and going on a cliff racer hunt to celebrate. In celebration I also bought the Steam version of the game to act as a back up to my CD version.

I've owned the game since 04 but never really given it the attention it deserves. Started playing again this week and I'm knee-deep in questing for the Telvanni with my mysticism-centered orc.

To celebrate the 10th anniversary I'm remaking Addamasartus and Arkngthand in Skyrim. Anyone else got any special projects?

This fills me with nostalgia. I started Morrowind's first Happy Birthday thread in this forum nine years ago. I never would have believed back then that players would still be around in 2012. Of course, they mostly aren't the same players. Almost nobody who posted in that thread is still around now. I never thought I would be around this long. Boy, there's nothing like a tenth anniversay to make you suddenly feel old.

Anyway, congratulations, Morrrowind. May you have ten more birthdays. And if you do, I'm sure I will still be here to celebrate it with you.

I think Tamriel Rebuilt is quite probably the most epic mod ever made for any game , A truly magnificent endeavor that i can't imagine being rivaled.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVFGdutm8Q8&list=UUUBPrJzo87zJld0gdxG3wFw&index=2&feature=plcp is a recently released video that best represents the scale of Tamriel Rebuilt to date.

Wow, Happy Tenth Morrowind! Damn, what an amazing game. Its what got me started with TES and overall favorite. I remember getting it when it first came out on Xbox cause of an article I read about it. It truly blew me away and exceeded any description in that article. I also bought the guide and used it very often (mostly for the maps). Truly awesome gaming experience.

I'd played a few games before Morrowind; not many, but a few. I was young at the time, but Morrowind changed my perception entirely of what a game could be.

Now, a decade later, I sit in my mid twenties and Morrowind still does the same thing for me when I can find time to play. Or mod, and reshape the world to my vision. Or watch groups like Tamriel Rebuilt and OpenMW, and see how it brings forth so much effort and collaboration.

Thanks for the good times, Morrowind. Happy coincidence that I took today off, I think I'll have to play and mod a bit.

Even though I was late to the party, I fell in love with Morrowind after trying out Oblivion.

Keep it up Bethesda! :tes:

After playing Morrowind I had a smile on my face ... That bigger game! Time passed and the smile was gone. The only game capable of giving me my smile back was Fallout 3. It is impossible for me not to find similarities between them.

Colovian fur helms off to you, Morrowind!

Morrowind was my introduction to the Elder Scrolls series, and for that it will always hold a place of high honor as my favorite game of all time. Though, Skyrim is trying its hardest to usurp that throne!

I still remember when I first came across Morrowind at my local video rental place. It was right after it came out on X-box. I took a look at the back and thought to myself "Awesome! The open world sandbox of GTA, but with medieval fantasy." I absorbed all the knowledge the manual had to offer on the car ride home, and man. It is really difficult to put to words that sense of awe when I first got off the boat. I know a lot of you know what I'm talking about, but just wow. I was so lost, I had no idea what to do, but I didn't care. This was the most amazing entertainment experience I had ever had. I somehow stumbled my way to Vivec city, when led to me to being even more lost. Eventually, I escaped the tricky canols and headed north. There I encountered my first dungeon, the Sarano ancestral tomb. After a few tries getting my ass handed to me by bonewalkers I eventually made my way to the hungar. I literally jumped out of my seat in fear. Somehow, in my panicked state I was able to defeat him and claim the Sarano Ebony Helm.

To this day, I never complete the Fighter's Guild quest to retrieve that helm. It is the first thing I go after, and it is always prominently displayed at my home.

Here's to another ten years of endless adventures, Morrowind! :foodndrink:

I can still boot up Morrowind today and have as much fun as I did all those years ago.
Modding have kept it going strong, I can still see myself playing it 10 more years from now.
Of course, the amazing soundtrack and nostalgia helps a bit as well.

Happy 10th anniversary, Morrowind!
