    So... hold on, let me get this right. People on console can have multiple accounts just like that. People on PC need to pay £50 and buy another copy of the game to get another account, there is no other way to do it. I will bear that in mind next time I hear any whining that console doesn't have x, y, or z feature.

    Yup. I never understood the "PC master race" comments lol both have advantages. PC looks amazing and has addons, consoles can spam accounts and have ease of set up.

    I hope ZOS looks into selling more character slots.
    I would rather all my characters on one account.

    It sounds like keeping track of which character is where is confusing.

    I would prefer that too, but already waited 18 months and no plans to allow it. I'd have rather bought extra character slots on the same account.

    Well you need a ps+ membership which is $15 for 1 month.

    Pc can buy the game for $15 and play many months.

    So no

    You can't buy the game for $15 in the UK, the base game is £50 (about $75).

    Well that depends too. If you go about it the right way you can buy year memberships for around 25$ on black fridays. I got three years at once last time. You get some silly games every moth for free too once in awhile its something pretty good. I think ESO dropped the ps plus sub requirement though so i may even let mine lapse after its up.

    Oh there's nothing wrong with multiboxing anyway , it's often fun to see what you can pull off , was just showing pictures of it over the years.

    Used to enjoy seeing what I could do in EQ with my own warrior/cleric/dps triple box at times.

    Best group makeup was letting me dual box my warrior and cleric , with the dps and CC doing their thing , could control the pull rate (not too slow , not too fast ) and often worked better then separate cleric /warrior.

    I pay $15 sub a month for 1 account of ESO. If I wanted multiple subbed accounts, I'd have to pay $15 a month for each account AND have to buy the game at base price for each account. Yet you can have as many accounts as you like for $15 a month. How on earth is that in any way equitable?

    You don't need to sub to play.

    Ps+ is $15/month per account which you need to play online games. Eso+ would be another $15/month

    It's because when we buy a game on console it's not some ridiculous one person only limited licence agreement. Also that 15$ a month covers ALL my sub accounts so only my master account has to pay it.

    Yes, I am fully aware of that. BUT. That $15 that you pay is for a whole lot of other stuff besides ESO, right? Or are you going to tell me that you play ONLY ESO, and don't use PSN for anything else. You don't get other services for that $15.

    Look, if you can't work out the financial difference between having 10 accounts for the price of 1 on console, and 10 accounts (without subbing) costing upwards of $500 on PC, then it is going to take someone more patient than me to explain it to you.

    Is it possible to have more than one account on ps4? I've been thinking about getting a 2nd account but am not sure if it's possible since accounts are tied to your ps4 gamer tag

    I guess your just ignoring the fact eso pc costs $15 if you order it online.

    So you buy 10 accounts for 150 and play forever.

    Console buys 1 copy for $70 and pays $15/month per account .

    So $150 one time fee or $150 / month for 10 accounts

    You think 150 / month is the better deal?

    And no I dont play other games on ps+, who has time for more then 1 game.

    Unless there's some trick I'm unaware of each account requires their own gamertag and you have to pay $50 a year to play online...so the guy with 10 accounts is spending $500 a year just to play ESO with multiple accounts, not counting the $15 ESO plus per account if he uses it.

    No you pay the 15 on one account that's it. Any other account you create on that console is a sub account and automatically gets ps plus. At least that's how playstation works not sure with microsoft
