Been wanting to make this video since December 2022, but due to covid, a wisdom tooth extraction and a common cold, recording the script proved impossible until now.

All gameplay footage was recorded during the campaigns they reference.

Thanks to everyone involved in making this possible, and to Szende for letting me record the Emp throne footage in the beginning of the video.

Music lifted from Jazz Jackrabbit, Jazz Jackrabbit 2 and Glover, because I still won't accept that the '90s are over.

    This was a really nicely done video :D It was super interesting to hear about all of the intricacies of the process of obtaining emp, and the commentary was 10/10 - congrats again! :FORTHEQUEEN:

    "I guess I'm bad at predicting the limits of my own sweatiness." Haha I love it. Arttea sent me here and I'm glad she did. This has seriously stoked my PvP fire 🔥 An excellent display of the spirit of Cyrodiil.

    Good story because, yes you had help, but it was grim determination on your part and was earned. No bragging, no bombast, No belittling of foes. And, yes, as your remarks suggest, our ultime quest destination in an MMO is meeting yourself. Which may not always be a good or desirable thing for most folks, and can even turn regular people toxic when that meeting doesn't go well. But for you it worked. As I said, it's a good ESO story...for a change 😉
  • I loved hearing your story. I am still a noob at pvp but starting to slowly enjoy it a tiny bit. It's still frustrating just getting demolished when others barely take any damage. Have yet to win even a 1v1 in cyro. Even on a dk, (yeah I suck) but I am trying! I don't count IC since a lot go in with pve builds. Again congrats!

    Heya, MoS player here; saw a couple of my fellow guild members at the start. Gz on the emp! Has been a tough couple campaigns with what seems like dhariel and the other blue tryhards on 24/7 claiming points during non peak hours.

    This was such a great watch, and as a fellow AD who managed to complete the emp push in BR before level 39 (I was originally just farming for the black dye), I felt all this on a spiritual level. I swear its always Alsewell, as well. It’s the keep where hopes and dreams generally go to die (or sometimes, just sometimes, are made). I’d only been PVPing for a few months, and I’m not a 1vX sweaty, or a bomber, or a gank. I’m just there. I can fight, but there isn’t much to be done against the EP zergs. I did realise that I have the mind for the overall map tactics, which helped me a lot, so I loved that you called in backup to flag Glade! It also both helped and hindered that I’m on the opposite timezone to the majority of the player base. I was never around for the big AD pushes and the heavily populated maps. I think I tried to Emp once, maybe twice, on my own before realising that I needed help. While on uni break, I joined up with a guildie friend who also wanted the achievement and we duo pushed really successfully (with the help of the whole faction as well, because we could never have done it without the support of guildmates and all of AD). I hardly ever use the Former Empress title (especially in PVP) but I love that Emp throne. I designed an entire house around it and made a big old AD throne and war room. Now I just need to keep going and get level 50 so I can have the decoy scroll… Lol. Yep. I legit PVP simply so I can dress in black and furnish houses… But it was such a thing, and you should be proud! It is all about knowing that you did it. That you achieved it. That you COULD. Yes, it’s a video game, and yes, we should all make a point of touching more grass, but every time I zip into my house to change builds or something, I see that throne and I think back on that epic push. I have so many memories of those days, and of the comradery and effort and cooperation with others that it took to get it; of the stress (lol) and of chugging coffee at 8pm instead of wine because I couldn’t afford to get my skills confused. They’re memories that I’ll keep for a long, long time. (sorry for the rant; I’m avoiding starting uni work!)

  • @Thunderony

  • @armanddante1847
    I got Emp last week. And it was the most intense shit I have done so far because I rarely slept and I took of 1 week from work to achive it. It also was the most fun experience so far. All in all I am glad I did it. I got to get to know a bunsh of new people and enjoyed playing together with them.
  • @shadowasrial2158
    Very nice story. I’m glad you didn’t give up again. You gained emp the right way and the most honorable and respectful way. No cheesing etc. congratulations on your throne!
  • @parkwah
    Great video, very engaging storytelling!
  • Great video even greater story. Id love to share my Emp run. Was playing nb bomber 35 hours without sleeping. Made 2mil AP in that time. Gone to sleep. Friends woke me up to tell me that they crowned me (i didnt know they will do that) and then I logged in and started to play until morning until second person on leaderboard asked me to give him opportunity to get emp so I abandoned campaign very quickly :)
