How do we get into the rp shard?

Was just reading that zones are sharded on this thread https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/334921/i-did-not-know-world-zone-was-instanced#latest

So my question is: How does one know they are in the same shard as other rpers?

    only real way is to group up with them, and then travel to them via group, that way you sure you in same shard as those you rp with

    As Artemiisia said if you're in a guild or group with them then just travel to one and you should end up in the correct instance.

    The game is split by population, not prefference. Once a shard is at capacity for a certain area, next players who come there are put on a new one. You can only force players to a shard by grouping and traveling together.

    Those will be spread out through the different shards so just as they are random RPers to you, you will be a random RPer to them. But not all random RPers will be on the same shard.

    That requires a medium for us to officially state what preference we are. And that would split the population. They may have been anticipating a higher population to warrant that. or, they may have it ready for when the population can comfortably support it.

    Though, if your looking for RP, there is a healthy RP community. http://www.eso-rp.com/

    I don't know what's the exact algorithm but it's possible that you are preferentially placed on the same shards with people from your friends list or guild. This has been hinted at but never confirmed to my knowledge. There isn't any box in the menu that you can tick and say that you primarily RP.

    I do recall before launch when they were showcasing and explaining the megaserver technology, that the server would actively put you in shards based on your grouping and friendslist preferences.
