Should EU players be able to play with their EU chars on the NA server?

    Id Love to be able to Play NA and EU

    It is possible to do this. You just cannot use the same characters yes. You would need to start again from nothing at all.

    Should is irrelevant. It's functionally impossible to copy data to a server that already has data on it. There are too many known issues and too many possible unintended side effects.
    That's why console copy was a one-time deal, and why PTS is wiped before regional character copies.

    That's what Bioware claimed for SWTOR as well. And lo and behold, once most servers were finally dead and they risked losing many of the few remaining players all of a sudden it was possible to transfer characters between servers.

    Yes, in ESO2 there should be 2 servers with the same database.


    As ZOS has explained in the past, they won't copy data from 1 active database to another because the risk of data being lost or corrupted is too great.

    The reason they did it for PS4 was because the PS4 database was empty, it was a 'simple' copy paste job.

    No about the shared characters. Yes, about shared account upgrades. Its the firs game i play which require separate upgrades for eu/na. I`m not complaining. Its just ridiculous and greedy.

    Not only did they make that possible, they upgraded to better more powerful servers on their 5th year. NO more lag and multiple DC's per session. So problem solved.

    I mean. Isn't ESO 5 years old as well? Maybe it's time ZOS.

    I agree. It's completely unnecessary in this day and age of online gaming.

    I don't see how to implement cross realm characters in a way some mispatch will not eventually break for everyone.

    I'm not against having an option to play with 200+ms ping when 80+ms server is broken but would prefer all regions working properly.

    Agreed. But this one she accepts her US family will always be the poorer branch. They are there mainly so this one always has a paw of her own on the PTS.

    They don't have houses, pretty clothes or a banker. Many of them will never be levelled and can be considered mostly a crafting and festival goodies support team for Tickle Claws.

    Still it is nice to be able to see people about you would not see otherwise and be ready should there ever be another event like Summerfall in the future again.

    I do play now and then on NA. Its what I said. Its totally not the start over that bothers me. I love levelling. It bothers me that zos forces you cto buy them again. Force you is not the right word ofc. But if you are used to having a banker it just a small annoyance ^^

    I dont really understand how me transferring my characters from NA to EU (for a said price) with all my shiet is going to affect anything?

    Have the crowns ever been cheaper on EU or NA or vice versa? Else there is no difference.

    Or you just havent read the title, i guess.
