For console transfers, the deadline was May 9th for paid transfers. When are developers making copies of the PC characters?

It's rather important to know so that we don't grind pointlessly because they made the cut on May 10th, for example.

    Or you mean when you can borrow bajillions of gold to be ready for the xfer? ;)

    They said they'd give some advance notice, but my guess is they won't be super specific about it to make it more difficult to abuse the copy. You can make your lvl 15 char over the next couple days and be fine.

    Ah...makes sense. I guess I don't think that way, trying to abuse something. I just want a dual wield, crafting at a good level, hirelings opened, and pvp open.

    They likely won't let you know until after the fact (to prevent exploits).

    We don't have a date set for the console character copy yet, but we will be giving everyone a heads up before the actual copy happens.

    @ZOS_GinaBruno So as I'm not doing it, what's the deal with those that "may" have temporarily borrowed, with colleagues permission, money from the guild bank? Is it likely to be capped on what you can transfer?

    Why would anyone care how much gold someone takes with them. Just more people to buy your stuff.

    The only thing a massive amount of gold could do is corner the Guild Trader market week one. They have the ability to hold premium Guild Trader spots for weeks, controlling the economy until others can catch up months later...or when the trade guild gets bored...

    ^^ Pretty Much. IT also means they will stock pile a shed load of key items - or should be doing.

    The interesting thing is, is whether people will go for long or short term strategies. Long term, you're getting as many of the specialised v14 outfits ready for when people get to that level. Prob. a selection of Warlock & Storm Knight for multi vet grades - so you have their needs required without them having to grind. Short term the lower levels and the ability to craft items that people can de-construct for traits in training.

    Don't forget, you have potentially 100'000's of new players, all entering the game, starting from 0g 0xp etc. Then you have the accounts being moved across who are all going to be trying to corner the EU/NA market ASAP.

    Would be interesting to see.

    You also have the maxed VR14's who will be wrecking PVP. :)

    I think there is a big assumption here that there will be 1000's of transfers. I bet it's 100s, or less than a 100.

    I seriously doubt the PC to console transfer will play any impact on console.

    If there are 5,00-25,000 who paid to transfer for each console then the interest may be really high so there could be 500,000-1,000,000 non transfer players per console.

    Or

    100-500 transfer per and a total of 50,000 new per platform.

    ZOS has yet to address the reason PC isn't growing so until they finish the VR changes and put out at least 2-3 DLC packs it'll be dead in 1-2 years on all platforms

    If no DLC by Jan 2016, I predict a sale as ZOS said in 2013, if they had to remove the sub they would stop development. Seems pretty accurate other than finishing the console release based on new content since April 2015
