Will ESO do it? Now that it's possible...

    I would love it, as a solo player. But I don't see it happening.

    It would make competition unfair. PC has access to addons and higher performance machines and inputs (mouse and keyboard is objectively faster and more precise than a controller), and it would make PvP unfair. Unless ZOS disabled mouse and keyboard support and locked out all addons. But I don't see that happening. Easier to just keep the two hemispheres separate.

    The poor mega servers are struggling to keep up as it is, having all 3 platforms hosted on the same region server? That's dreaming right there.
    Since everyone seems to be doing this,

    - Magicka Classless [Flawless Conqueror @ 810CP] - 540k
    - Magicka Templar [Stormproof] - 550k
    - Magicka Warden [Stormproof] - 510k

    All sorts of issues, none of which are really things the end-user can affect
    PvP campaign size limits
    Addons
    Input methods
    server size, power and available bandwidth

    all of which really need massive work to support increase populations

    It's not possible. I have the same character names on several platforms (I have accounts on Xbox NA, PC NA, and PS4 NA.) What would happen when those characters are integrated to the same server - or Guilds that also exist across servers - or PvP Alliances. It wont happen for the same reason you can no longer transfer from PC to Xbox/PS4 or vice versa.

    Doens't make it not possible, could prefix names e.g. Xbox-EU-Sparrow (or something along those lines).

    Just allow console transfers that is the easy solution. If Sony agrees with that.

    Let me rephrase, it's not possible the way the game is currently handled. It's something that would have needed to be thought of when accounts were first being created. It's technically possible how you're suggesting, but would require more work than is most likely practical.

    Nope, never gonna happen in ESO, much to everyone's disappointment.
    The biggest problem being people will have the same character names, and guild names.
    This would make it very very awkward for everyone to adapt.

    Remember this is Micro$oft we're talking about here. For cross play you'd have to buy the PC version again from the Micro$oft Store

    I'm leaning no. Aside from all NA and EU populations being on different physical servers, I'm not really sure how inter-server communication would handle redundant data like people having the exact same character names.

    What I do hope this helps is for there to be less dependency on big quarterly revisions and more responsiveness to handle individual issues across all platforms as they arise.

    Why would they bother? They have separate servers already, and there's plenty of players in each.

    This isn't some lobby shooter that's on a million devices & wants to be able to share progression&accounts across them all (coughFortnitecough)

    There's no need.

    I'm not sure what I'd do with all those potential add-ons. I can only imagine how much console players would dominate once they had access to all those hand-holding add-ons!

    I'm cool with playing with XBox players, but from what I know about PC, the PC players would easily dominate any console player.

    If you dominate without add-ons, there really isn't much change. I stomp through PVP on PC using an Xbox controller and no add-ons.(I started on Xbox, switched to PC September 2017)

    Possible? Yes.

    Is it going to happen?

    Not unless the population in one or both of the console platforms gets too low.

    At that point, it'd be nice of them to provide support for mouse & keyboard on console too.

    In any case, crossplay between the consoles is more likely than with PC mixed in.

    It seems like it'd be more of an advantage if player A has a console and PC and disadvantage to player B who only has a console.

    You would be prompted to rename your characters/guilds.

    No it's not possible.
    Cross platform would be possible if xbox ps4 and Pc would share the same server, which we know they're not.
    Zos would need to open another server or merge the existing ones.

    None of the characters or players I've encountered so far are named Teferi so, it'd be bad.
