Please don't start with why I didn't do it when they offered me.
I'm fine with playing on the PC, but friends will buy it on the playstation, and I'm currently in stonefalls on my last alliance. I won't buy another on the playstation and start all over again.
I know the offer is gone, but will it be brought back again at some point? If not could you tell me why?

Thank you.

    To be fair allowing it once was already a mistake towards the game environment so I hope they dont do it again without some restrictions....good luck tho.

    I admit I would really like to see the ability to purchase the transfer again. I have recently had friends buy it on the Xbox One that never mentioned an interest in the game which really has me itching to play the game with them. I really wouldn't want to start all over like you mentioned because I have the Imperial edition and would like all those perks to transfer over without having to re-purchase them by buying a new copy of the game. Plus it will give me a reason to play some of my characters which haven't seen play in a long time.

    I gave a /feedback in game hopefully enough people request it that they will bring it back.

    I really hated that they allowed it at all the first time. I sincerely hope it never occurs again.

    However, I wish you good luck on crossing oblivion and reaching our dimension anyways... :p

    With the heat that ZOS has gotten on just about every major review over allowing transfers I wouldn't hold my breath for another round of transfer anytime soon..


    However..... If the game population starts to take a dive then I wouldn't doubt ZOS would allow transfers for $10 ..
    It is all about the $ and right now allowing transfers is a huge negative for the target player base they are marketing for "NEW PLAYERS on PS/XBOX.
    Anything useful that players are wanting added into the game all fall under the category of "Yer ruinin my 'mersion!" Sallington

    I don't see how people that didn't put all the time in pc version have any right to say "don't do it again it was a mistake the first time".. I personally got the pc version because the option was gonna be there to transfer to consoles at a later date. I missed the window because of real life and now can't bring my time I put in pc to Xbox. Bring it back!! Lol

    I don't see how people who want to play with their friends who are starting over on console don't want to start over with them. I guess everyone approaches these things differently.

    It's a complicated issue, they boxed themselves in over a year ago when they offered transfers and then made the issue much worse by launching the champion system before console.

    What I really don't get is why they didn't put in more non-vet campaigns for console launch, or even some champion-disabled campaigns.

    Nobody should feel like they have to try to compete in a veteran campaign if they want to pvp.

    They should have just allowed the console and PC players to just play in the same environment. Eventually, probably within a month or two, enough of the console players would be geared up to match the PC players. I don't understand why it's such a big deal to split them. PCs can use controllers. Consoles can use keyboards. There's no disadvantage/advantage with one over the other. In the end, it just divides up players and that's never a good thing.

    Depending on when they allowed the crossover, there's a good chance console players will be a lot closer to pc players (Probably not CP's). However, they would have had a chance to level up and gain some skill towards the game. Also depends on when the transfer would take place again, though.

    As far as the topic goes, I would like to see the possibility of transfers. While it is unwanted by the new console community, I do think that for the many of us that have been there from the start, should get another chance at a transfer now that we see what it's like on consoles. Given the offer for $20 to transfer/copy was a nice offer. However, offering a transfer before the game's console launch was also a rather cold move as, I for one, had no idea what the game played like on consoles. As time passed, and I've made considerations, I happened to miss the deadline before making that final decision. I do think players should get another chance to transfer to, or from consoles, with the purchase of their own copy of game. While a transfer fee is most reasonable, I'm sure I speak for many, that all we ask for is that very chance to transfer.

    I have purchased Imperial Edition for PC release, while playing on lowest settings due to outdated Mac. I've been subscribed from PC launch, and currently still subscribed with ESO for another 6 months. Despite the 15,000 or more Crowns I have received for free, I have made separate Crown purchases. To top it all of.... I have purchased a second copy of the game for the PS4. I have spend nearly $500 on ESO. I'm in no way saying I deserve a transfer. I know some have spend more. Some have spend less. I just believe that a strong consideration should be made. While this decision will hurt one side, I hope the right decision between new players and dedicated fans is made. I would appreciate any reply.

    Thank you!
