Console Transfer Server Clarification

Key33

According to the console faq, I will be able to transfer my EU server characters to my NA Console server. I also have characters currently on the NA server for pc. Once I transfer from pc to console, all of my characters from both NA and EU will transfer to console correct? Does that mean that the console version will have a higher cap for characters created and if so will character names conflict? For example if I had the character name Jane Doe in both my EU server and NA server would both names show up in my character list? I assume that instead of our character names being displayed to other players on the console that it will instead display our gamertag to keep from having name issues but that is just a guess. Thanks for the help in advanced and sorry for the lengthy and likely confusing paragraph.

Those are two different servers
And two different sets of characters...you are required to choose from one PC server

Great question and ha know this isn't specifically addressed on the support site but when I read the FAQ and info the transfer covers only one PC server to console.

@NewBlacksmurf thanks for the fast reply, Just to make sure, I can choose to transfer my pc Eu server to my consoles Na server correct? I've read the support faq saying I could like 1000 times but want to make sure I'm not reading it like a dumb dumb.

If I am a European player who plays on the North American server on PC/Mac, will I be able to purchase a console transfer to the European console megaserver?

Yes. When a player purchases a console transfer, all their characters are moved to both the North American and European console megaservers.

Yeah... you're question is very valid. It never says we will choose which server gets transferred.... I don't think they really thought about the people who have characters on both servers... hence probably have too many characters to transfer.. weird.

@ZOS_JasonLeavey You seem to be aware of console info, not sure if you know the answer.. but if you could look into this it would be great.

Gotta wait for ZOS on the ability to choose the PC server

Again great question

Thanks again for the replies, and thanks @missbizz for the link, that's the page I kept reading just wanted to verify. If we couldn't choose I would just glady erase my NA chars and transfer my pc EU server to my console's NA server. I was so sad when they first announced you couldn't transfer the server from eu to na but screamed like a little school girl when they revised it, so thankful that they did! still excited to get a reply from zos though.

Would love to get an answer on this, want to ensure 100% that my EU account will transfer over to console servers rather than my Na account. I also don't want to wait till the day zen transfers all the accounts and end up with the wrong characters.

My guess is that EU characters will copy to the EU console server, and NA characters will copy to the NA console server. Seems like the most straightforward approach. An EU <-> NA server transfer service would be pretty nice though.

Hey thanks for the reply, that might be how they choose for priority, if so I will just delete all my characters from NA so they will for sure transfer my Eu characters, I just don't have the NA server downloaded anymore and don't feel like downloading it just to delete a few low level toons.

Still seeking an answer, just want to know if I get to choose the console server to transfer or if my best option is to delete the server characters that I don't want.

I think all your chars are copied to both servers

Yeah the characters will definitely be sent to both servers, but I don't believe that both of my pc servers will transfer, wouldn't be enough character space and the transfer is only good for one pc server to be moved, just not sure how it is decided which one moves.

What I meant before and what I presume the poster you're quoting meant was that (we believe) all your characters will be copied to their respective servers. So if you have 5 NA characters and 2 EU characters on PC, you'll have 5 NA characters and 2 EU characters on console. Switching your server is an option on one of the pre-game menus, so it's really easy to go back and forth.
