ZOS Please bring back the transfers for people who missed the cutoff....

Sometimes life intervenes and you miss a date, then you get no chance to follow through. Please ZOS bring back the PC>Console Transfers, or at least make them permanent option for those who were with the PC version from day 1...

    While you had an entire month to transfer, paired with an entire month warning of the cutoff, I do think that ZoS should bring this back after console launch as a "Service" in the account store. If they don't, they'd anger a lot of fans, as well as miss out on a lot of money.

    Don't get me wrong, I'd never use it. My PC characters are crap, as I'm waiting for console launch to really play the game. I just think it'll be too much of a "missed opportunity" if they don't add it again.

    I would like this to return for all PC players.
    I don't even care about the character transfers.
    Just give us a reduced price and copy of any purchases.

    Why? not ZOS's fault you did not pay enough attention and missed the MASSIVE amount of info about it. There was a MONTH to be able to do it, there is no way possible you would not have been able to do it in that month.

    I agree with this...consider people in service, on leave, off shore, medical problems, etc. Why they would cap this is strange.

    This. It's another way for ZOS to "show they care about the community" if they offer it later...for a small fee ofc.

    some people use to take long breaks from games...others may think that they have done with a game and that they will never go back and then one day all of a sudden they are burning inside to play said game (I know that feeling, I ve done this before..).

    I can probably find other reasons for missing the date, such as real life problems/obligations..anyway, I am not have a high level in my account so does not matter for me, but I don't think that Zenimax does not want to do it..maybe the transfer is not that simple and it requires some work for transferring data to a new datacenter etc. And now they have other priorities.

    I think that if they could they would have let it happen. Maybe in the future, while they run out of the very emergent matters to deal, they will open up again.

    I knew about the transfer and the cut off and I didn't look for it or care. It was clear. As for the need for an end point, they would logically need one for preparing for the migration. While it's not an overly complex task it does require some prep work.

    The moderators can only comment on what is fact. They cannot change reality. It's unfortunate some waited or maybe paid less attention than I did and missed the boat.

    The eligibility email constitutes a legally-binding terms agreement on the $20 special offer. They're not going to breach their own terms ("After the 30-day period, you will no longer be able to purchase this special digital copy of The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited for console or copy your PC/Mac account to console in any other way.").

    That "or" is pretty important. That means neither is going to happen again.
    Making one or two people happy isn't worth the false-advertising lawsuit that would inevitably follow.

    I guess you missed the segment they did on CNN about the character copy?

    Oh wait, this is not major news. Zenimax announced it on their website, and emailed players directly. Then they gave you a whole month. There is not much else they could have done, really.

    I agree 100% that ZOS needs to extend the deadline for this. I quit playing about 4 months ago and I was waiting for it to release on Xbox One. I figured it would be something I did on the console launch day. I logged on the forums 1 day after the deadline. They sent one single email telling the customers to do this. Just ONE.... I've been playing and paying for almost a year only to transfer to the console and now I can't because I missed their bogus deadline.

    You quit playing and paying attention and now that's ZOS' fault?

    Did you miss all the talk about console transfer in 2014? Were you not aware that there would be deadlines and that it world be a limited offer?

    I think it's obvious and clear that I missed "all the talk about console transfer in 2014". And as I stated in my previous comment I thought it would be something done on console launch day. I must of missed that SINGLE all important email they sent to us. I know it's really time consuming and expensive to send emails and they probably couldn't afford to send a few extra warnings out but, as a paying subscriber I feel like I should of got at least two emails... I know I may be asking for a bit much but, sometimes I'm just really selfish that way....

    Sometimes life intervenes is a valid excuse? I had no idea, great I'll start using that from now on.

    - I'll make sure to tell my boss at work when I miss an important deadline, it's because sometimes life intervenes
    - When I forget my wedding anniversary, I'll just tell me wife, sorry honey but you know how sometimes life intervenes
    - Basically from now on when I wanted to be absolved of any/all responsibility I'll just say sometimes life intervenes


    OR

    No, it should be for those that took 'advantage' of the 'offer' that the company advertised during those specific dates, if you missed out, you missed out.

    Alright I guessing you have poor deduction skills so I going to have to lay a bunch of info for you.

    They announced on the ESO Live 4/9 that the consoles transfer was happening. This can be found on Twitch and Youtube.

    Of course you know of the email.

    There are a lot posts from April 9th all the way to May 9th of people asking ZOS about this these were in the recent discussions a lot.

    It was on their twitter account.

    They have it on their FAQ: https://help.elderscrollsonline.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/28089/kw/Console Transfer

    Here is one of their community post: http://www.elderscrollsonline.com/en-gb/news/post/2015/04/21/the-tamriel-town-crier-issue-10

    On this post their is a link to this site: http://skyrimfansite.com/transfer-your-elder-scrolls-online-account-to-console/

    May 8 ESO live on Twitch they you the deadline is the next day.

    There were plenty of options.

    Also think about the idea of having transfer after console launch. If that happen Players chracter would not work because their name is all ready being use by a console player who got the game before the pc player transfer. It would not work out.

    All you idiots talking about a massive amount of info are stupid. They NEVER did a news release and other than an email that could very easily be missed the only place they posted it was in the FAQ section of their website. Nice place to put news at huh? Stop blindly defending their practices and FORCE ZOS to do things right. They did not say you had to preorder the game when they did this promotion. They should honor transfers til around a month AFTER console release that way everyone who wants to has plenty of time to do so. Only reason they cut it off is to make people who missed out have to pay $60 for the game instead of $20 so they can double up on their profit, screw the customers.

    BTW ZOS you clearly don't care for your customers as you can't even get your lazy ass moderators to respond with anything other than its over sucks to be you.

    Ok, someone of reason has to step in....

    Please stop blindly supporting ZOS.

    I didn't get the email because emails from ZOS are hit and miss with Comcast. They don't play nice together and ZOS admitted it. In fact, I had to transfer email accounts just so I could log into the game. There are others that have the same problem.

    There are others who don't read the forums because they are full of vitriol. If they didn't get the email and they don't read the forums, they would not know because ZOS did not really advertise this other than their own forms of communication.

    I don't have a PS4 and I don't want a transfer. I'm just pointing out that there are reasons that people could have missed the deadline.

    ZOS should do free transfers for everyone who own both games. Only now, people have to pay full price for the game. I don't think they should get it at the 20.00 cost. That deadline is gone but the transfers should never be gone.
