Nope
Not gonna happen.
Just this.
We have not built, and do not plan to build, the capability to move individual characters from platform to platform. We were only able to move characters in bulk for consoles once on June 1st, 2015 because the database tables we copied to were brand new (empty). Now that the database tables are filled with other data, the techniques we used before no longer work.
Or it can lead to a large fine from MS/Sony that will render any kind of profit pointless. We do not know what kind of agreement is there between ZOS and console owners.

This might be true. I would assume ZOS owns all the rights to player data and doing such an import would require the user to have a new copy of the game on the desired platform they would want to switch to, but yeah there might be legal reasons this could not happen.0 -
bharathitman✭✭✭✭MSFT and Sony have rules regarding cross platform data transfer. ZOS is legally obliged to not data transfer between consoles and PC, no cross platform transfer is allowed
However in the future MSFT may ease their rules between XB and PC, but Sony wont0 -
Daedric_NB_187✭✭✭✭✭Yes - A paid transfer service would be a great option!Funny how two other games were able to do server to server transfers and charge for it, but these guys can't figure it out. Yeah. They were PC to PC. But still. It's database tables. Re-purpose the process used to move from PC to console at that time and charge for it. If they wanted to do it, they could.Edited by Daedric_NB_187 on January 27, 2019 1:02PM0
