Items and DLC not shared between megaservers

FreyaTheIronDragon

I enjoy playing on both megaservers, I have friends on both. I just wish that when I buy something I could use it on the other server. Let's be honest we all know it's a cash grab, I for one will not pay for the same content twice.

I don't see why you should be able to share because it's a different server. Doesn't seem like a cash grab to me and no one is forcing you to buy it so pick one and stick with it. Talk with your friends in discord.

Far too easy to exploit.

Prices higher on server "B"? Buy all the gold mats on server "A" and sell them on server "B". Send money back to server "A" and repeat.

The economy for both servers would implode overnight.

He is just talking about crown items, not drops and mats. And yes, crown items should be account wide, no matter the server.

My bad then, reading comprehension is not my strong point...

Content owners get to decide on their own rights management. Is it just a cash grab if you want a French version of a book you already have in English?

Most people do not regularly play on both servers, instead choosing the regional one with the best performance. For most people, content on the other server may as well not even exist.

I guarantee the OP is talking about crown purchases and dlc

@Acrolas ZOS doesn't have to 'print' your dlc and costumes a second time to have them available on the EU server. I'm sure you could get that book in french if you owned it electronically.

It's the same account.

At the very least, they should have a server transfer feature (for a fee). Even if they don't know how to code the functionality into the game, they should be able to create template characters (the same way they do on PTS), that have the same CP as your home server account and have all the same crown store purchases unlocked (beyond that point, the two accounts would be split up again).

You can't even share them among users of the same console, so across megaservers would be asking a bit much.

(Yes, I am still a little irked that if you have multiple ESO players in your household, each has to buy their own copy of Morrowind.)

What is really annoying is that the screen tips during loading keep saying your purchases are account wide. My account includes Xbox and PC, four servers in total, but they basically lie, as its only available on the server/system I was on when I purchased. They really should change their wording, because when I think of my 'account' I'm thinking my ESO account, not just a server account

Ye back in the day of subscription, mmorpgs were a lot better. And if you wanted to transfer to another region you simply made a new toon and started again.

These topics "more buck for my money" are miserable.

Yes you can. Guild bank.

Games like WoW are completely account-wide, no matter what server you play on. Even if you decide to go from US to EU, or even Asia your stuff is shared (exept characters). So why ESO cant do it? As mentioned before: plain cash-grab.

Because Blizzard has world-wide servers that save that information and have connections to all seperate region servers.
ZOS doesnt, EU stuff is saved on EU, US on US.

As much as I appreciate the help, if YOU had done what you were so quick to point out, you would know that I already acknowledged my error.

Being an ass just to be an ass is unbecoming and petty.
