Partying and Starting locations

[Jet]

So Im a dunmer and started in vvardenfell. Just wondering, in case my friends want to play as redguard and high elf:

A) where will they spawn? How many starting locations are there?

B) can I start a party/guild with them? Or is it like WoW where alliance and horde cannot help each other, given I would be ebonheart pact and they would each hold their own nations alliegieance lore wise?

We are all planning on playing as part of the f2p promotion

For A, if they also spawn on vvardenfell, they will be there too. If not, they will be spawned on 2 different islands (for the redguard, it will be Stros M'Kai and Betnikh before landing in the city of Daggerfall. And for the high elf, it will be Khenarthi's Roost before landing in the city of Vulkhel Guard) These cities are 2 of the starting cities in the game while the Pact's starting city will be Davon's Watch.

For B, you can form a party with anyone, no matter what alliance they are part of. So a memeber of the pact can party up with member from the dominion/convenant. Same goes for guilds. The only time you would not be able to party up with them is if you all did the massive PVP mode, Alliance War, as you will be fighting for your alliance. But for the other PVP mode, battlegrounds, you can party up with them.

Also, an update from 2016 removed the borders from all alliances, so you can quest up anywhere you like. Makes it easier for friends to game up and party.

If you all bought ESO on Steam recently, you will all start in Vvardenfell, because you own the Morrowind chapter.

If any of you also bought Summerset, that chapter overrides Morrowind and becomes the starter zone. You cannot switch starter zones, unfortunately, however, you can teleport to your guildmates, as long as you have access to the zone they are in.

aw they should have allowed us to choose the starter zone between dlcs or original alliance starter zone.

Yes, I would love such choice. I didn't like the Summerset tutorial much, especially compared to the Morrowind one.

Doesn't really matter anyway, once it's done you can skip it for all alts.
Also when you have morrowind or summerset, the coldhabour tutorial becomes the first part of the main quest, so it's not skippable anymore.
