Join more than 5 guilds, transfer toons to PC?

XoXJulietteXoX

We have only been allowed to join 5 guilds for the past 5 or so years, will you ever update so we can join 1 or 2 more? I think this has been the most talked about thing in voice chat in the game, aside from adding more housing space, which you say you can't...
One would think since you've made more money the past year from selling more ESO games/more people playing ESO in the history of TESO that you could have teams to upgrade servers and capacity or maybe even allow console players to transfer entire accounts to PC...

I've heard many, many people ask about higher housing item limits, but I must talk to very different people than you do, because I've never heard anyone I know in voice chat asking about more guilds. Generally 5 guilds does the job well enough when you factor in 50+ potential discord communities you can also join.

I'm on console, you must be on PC... Most (not all, obviously) console users don't use discord for ESO...

We were only able to move characters in bulk for consoles once on June 1st, 2015 because the database tables we copied to were brand new (empty). Now that the database tables are filled with other data, the techniques we used before no longer work. (...)"

They have said multiple times that it's very unlikely that they would increase the number of guilds you can join. 5 is already rather excessive by MMO standards although makes some sense the trading system in the game.

Regarding housing space, they have also said that the reason they don't do this is that it casues players to crash and be unable to enter their homes to remove items in order to 'fix the crash'. I believe this was mainly because of the lower spec's of consoles so unfortunately in order to resolve the problem it would likely mean that all console players should join PC.

they would be very unlikely to offer account transfers - they don't even transfer between NA and EU currently within the same platform.

Fair enough. I don't do console so I'm not aware of how structured the out of game communities are. What are some of the needs you're looking to fill with more guilds? Perhaps there are other solutions that could work other than more guilds? I'd suspect that adding more guilds would just dilute the ones players are currently a part of. It's already hard to maintain a guild community when members have 4 other commitments. If players had say, 10 guilds, then even packed guilds might be dead as you're not really a community at that point, but just a list of players, not much different than zone.

I personally own a guild, am in 2 housing guilds & 2 guilds with a guild trader. So that's 5 slots. I don't have a PVP/Trials guild and one housing guild refuses to add a guild trader for silly reasons so, it's either leave that one or maybe hopefully ZOS will add an extra guild trader to our accounts that we may join...
