Server preferences?

Fenris_Silverfang

Hello there,
A while ago I looked at the news for the megaserver and phasing again and I noticed a lot of things arent implemented yet or im unable to find certain options.
So far im being mix-matched with people speaking lots of different languages and its quite impossible to find other roleplayers as there's no option for that either yet.
I do remember there was talk of being able to set preferences so youd be matched with people that go with your interests.
Is there a way or is it just not implemented yet?
(if its being worked on at all)
Does anyone know?

Err, we've heard about possibilities in the future, for instance RP tagging.

For now there aren't any megaserver preferences.

Who knows what we'll see in the future.

We were indeed promised such things for megaserver tech... but I think they hit some technical difficulties when dealing with massive amounts of people, so they pulled the feature to try and make sure launch was, from a stability point, as amazing as it has been. I have been in most major MMO launches since EverQuest, and this one is the most smoothe I have seen. We don't even want to talk horror stories (WoW launch anyone?) about MMO launches where the game is nearly unplayable.

They have made tons of progress over the last few beta sessions, and i'm looking forward to what the game will become.

There really needs to be megaserver preferences. For roleplayers, it is difficult to find anyone else in the large mess of random people.

The devs have said that this is one of the things they are interested in getting to work. I think the problem is that, until they can reliably get group members into the same zone instance, it is premature to implement the really hard stuff.

I know this thread is over two months old from the last post, but I'd like to bump it to let the Devs know we are still wanting this feature. Trying to do any real Roleplaying in ESO with others is still frustrating. It's hard to find others unless you join a guild and even then it's sporadic. If we had our own shards, it would be much easier.

No offense, but Zenimax has much bigger fish to fry in ESO than appeasing a few roleplayers with their own instances. I wouldn't expect anything anytime soon.

There is a useful player guide with tips for finding RP in ESO:
