    Wow...interesting results so far!

    Does anyone know the latest number of active players on ESO? What are the numbers at and how many of those are on the forums?

    Lol -- why would you find these interesting results?

    What it states it almost 30% of the current 'PC Master Race' will be playing on a console. That is a huge percentage of a PC dominated genre... If this gets traction I foresee many others in this genre making the jump...

    Yeah, 30% of 42 players. Astounding! ;)

    Yes... and your point? Only players that have access to this forum have paid for the game and activated an account so PC players. And ~30% of them are going to try/move to console. We have yet to see what the console communities think of ESO but you know what.... I think it will be a money maker for the Dev's and enjoyable to the console players...

    The forum goers make up probably the smallest handful of players you could imagine... 1-2% of the player base. These types of polls are only for us PC players to poke fun at -- nothing more.

    It's a POLL on a ESO PC forum, asking ESO PC players if they are transferring to console. Not sure there is a more relevant place to ask this question.

    I wasn't implying this wasn't the relevant place to pose your poll. I'm only stating that such polls are useless as they bring no new/useful information to the player base.

    I only bought the PC version to take advantage of the transfer. I'm a console gamer to begin with, I hardly buy PC games because so many of them require DRM(Steam, Uplay, Origin) and there is no Internet when I go to the 2nd home, visit the parents or most of my family or friends. In another 5 years Internet will likely expand into those areas and then I may change to a PC gamer but as it stands its too restrictive.

    I suspect a lot pf PC players are doing what I've done.

    For the price of the offer, might as well buy the PS4 version (I know others that have only brought it as it's so cheap) , for £13 it's worth a few days messing around from time to time.

    But my main play will still be the PC and there's no way I would ever have considered the console version for anywhere near the full retail price.

    A bit like me buying Morrowind for my Xbox, Oblivion for my 360, Skyrim for my PS3, got them all when they were dirt cheap just to have a play on from time to time, but still played main (heavily modded) games on PC.

    I've been bitching about this all over the place so I apologize if you've read this already. Why did they only give us a month long window to make the transfer? I screwed myself out of the deal apparently. I skimmed the email and didn't read it properly and I missed the date so now, my VR2 is stuck in purgatory once the game releases on consoles. All my friends are playing the PS4, I like to play with my friends so I'm going. Would really love to transfer my character though, and it doesn't look like they're going to be cool about my screw up. Anyone want a VR2 Sorc?!

    Last console we bought was an X-Box 365 - or whatever it was called, and we have a PS3 that we use to play Blueray movies. We do have some games, but we don't play them.

    Can't see ever getting another console.

    Remove your first bit trust me you will get in trouble for it.

    Well i always figured it was offered to us that have been here since beta because we were dedicated.
    Then i came to realize that they have to supply a pc server no matter what so they dont want all their pc players swapping over. So only a handful were offered the transfer from the start but to make sure everything was sorted because they are going to have to manually copy (for part of it at least) over that there had to be a deadline to this.

    My 2 cents

    That said, I bought a ps4 transfer and I'm going to give it a shot.

    The game was designed for a controller, the delays getting console ready for release have been a huge detriment to the game and its community. I'm actually hopeful console sales will be decent and things will get better for everyone.

    Tablet
    Note 4

    And my favorite so far is the ps4 and laptop.
    Ps4 controller after a few minutes of playing a game you no longer remember its there.
    I play my tower and consoles on the same tv but i prefer console on a 60inc i may go back to duel screens for tower.

    The consoles because everyone plays on the same setup it is easier for fixing problems.
    Elder scrolls online on the ps4 looked no different than on my tower besides the tiniest details like the grass looks a little better on pc.

    Yea...I tried to put a :) face behind that option, it didn't show. I wanted to put a little humor on it.

    Then I add my vote to the tally!

    I am a console gamer from the age of 4, starting with Nintendo 64 up to PS3/3DS/PSVita, as two years ago I received a gaming laptop in anticipation of college. ESO was to be released on PC first and my friend and I were pumped to play a new Elder Scrolls game, so we pre-emptively bought it for PC, unknowing of the console transfer. It has been over a year since and while I disagree with at least half the opinions of the MMO crowd, this is where I am staying.

    Looking forward to controller support for PC.

    I can't think of any reason why I would transfer to console. My friends and guildies are on PC (some of the guildies might transfer, but I doubt many will). My PC has better specs than the consoles. I'd have to buy a new console in order to switch (and knowing me, I probably wouldn't use it for any other games anyway). I can (and sometimes do) play on my 47" TV while sitting on the couch or the recliner anyway. I vastly prefer using a keyboard and mouse to a game controller. I like the add-ons that I use (although, to be honest I wouldn't miss most of them that much if I didn't have them).

    I mean, I don't have anything against consoles or console gamers, it's just very clearly not the right option for me.

    I'm transferring. Still don't know to which console. Xbox if folks I know start playing. PS4 if not.

    I am transferring to PC for three reasons which have been continuously ignored by zenimax for PC. Group Finder, controller support, and native VOIP.

    I also hate consoles because of their inferior capabilities compared to PCs.

    If the number of annoyances on voice chat becomes excessive or if zenimax releases controller support and group finder fixes by end of June i'll probably come back to PC though.

    I like some of the others have mentioned was primarily a console player (grew up this way), now that I have my own PC that I built myself I would never chose a console over it. I'd also imagine that the console audience will quickly drop off soon after release which will ruin the game by turning it into a wasteland.
