Merge Servers?

    Server merging in my experience with managing servers would be incredibly difficult as the player data/permissions are all located on one server and there's no simple flip a switch and all that transfers smoothly/on a nice time-frame. The other part is I'm quite sure ESO is using mega-servers so realistically there's no reason to merge servers as that is usually used for reducing them due to plenty of small populated servers.

    May actually help the dying ps4 population.... But in saying that, the way zos treat the SEA region, it'll still be a ghost town in this timezone.

    *** no.

    The most incompetent company in gaming that cant even build stable servers after 4 years to handle ONE platform at one time and you're talking about merging?

    I'd rather they first focus on sacking anyone in charge of game performance.

    If they would allow for keyboard and mouse optimization for the console than you could put PC and PS4 together. Sony already supports mouse and keyboard, it is on the game company to allow use of it. Fortnite allows M+K on the PS4 without a XIM4, just plug them into the USB ports and play.

    Also PS4 merge with XBox should be a no brainer. Sony has already given up and has allowed cross play now.

    I have 15 characters on NA and 8 characters on EU. Which characters get deleted?

    I have seen no need for merging. I usually play on the EU server in the middle of the night there. It seems fairly healthy to me. The NA server seems almost too full. Maybe it's time for gigaservers.

    Initially they only had one for PC, but then they realized that people playing from the other side of the world had really bad latency so they made another cluster in the EU. They followed trough with consoles. It's not gonna happen.

    The game launched with two servers. One for EU and one for NA.

    I expect the quoted post might be due to the fact that the EU server was originally located in NA for ease of access. In fact both servers were near the Maryland offices at launch. Soon after both were relocated, the EU server to EU and the NA server to middle NA.

    But there was always two different PC servers starting from day one of this game's launch.
    Really, idk
