Can any one tell me how to travel back to the starter zone Betnikh from Daggerfall?

I quite like it so far 
Looks gorgeous, decent character creation. It's nice being dumped in a large town and just having to explore rather than being breadcrumbed from quest to quest.
Not seeing the floaty disconnected issues people complained of regarding combat in the earlier betas, presumably that's been tweaked a bit for this build. Runs really well with a town pack with noobs running around, which bodes well for large scale RvR.
The Skyrim menu system needs to die in a fire, but hopefully it can be modded into something less hateful. Really like the skill-based character progression, I'm going to be a perma-noob playing with builds.
Coldharbour needs less grapes though. Seriously, grapes everywhere

The combat is definitely improved. Its subtle but definitely improved. I've only just gotten to the next area after the starter island and its absolutely gorgeous. The sense of scale is far better than any other game I've played.
Looking forward to reaching level 10 and giving cyrodil a go.

They assume after having had your soul taken by the Daedric Prince of Rape, that you'll want a couple of glasses of vino
Even worse is that all the aged meat you find, is actually an ingredient in a beverage!
There is a person down at the docks of each major starting zone, once you speak to them they'll port you.

It does seem a bit more polished and slick than last time I played. I find combat a little floaty at times still but generally an improvement on what it was. Find the graphics a little blocky at times but again they have sharpened up a bit.
Overall it's making a better initial impression this time round. Hopefully get a good 2 hours or so tonight to get a game under my belt though with the kids and that get a feeling I'll struggle to even hit 10

It seems the euro megaserver is located in the US, so this could be a latency issue. It also seems the euro mega server will stay in the US over the launch period. As stated here:

This is somewhat disappointing. Checking latency shows pings ranging in the 150-200ms+ on good connections (as per reddit users.)

I still can't see any difference between Betas?
Are there any ?

Combat still seems meh. Very little feedback on whether an ability has actually done anything and spamming left click for a basic attack seems like it'll get old fast.
Also not sure what they were smoking with dumping you in a city/town after the Coldharbour part with (unless I missed something) no clue whatsoever of where to go.
Overall it just seems to be missing some sort of spark to capture my interest and make me stick around.
And lol @ putting an EU server in the US, kinda defeats the point really.

People felt the other zones made the game to linear, so they put you in the wilderness, where you find the content, rather being told where to go and what to do.

Really enjoying myself so far. The atmosphere is something that has truly blown me away; it feels to me like a cross between DAoC and LoTRO. The freedom of weapon choice is refreshing and I've been switching between bow and 2h all evening. I've not had chance to try cyrodil out yet but I am hoping to get there tomorrow morning. The graphics are stunning and it runs so smoothly, even on my average system.
