    Lots of people play on both regional servers, myself included although I'm not a competitive player or a min/maxer so starting afresh wasn't an issue for me. Indeed, I have found in both this and other games I've played over the years that starting over on a different server can be a great way to rediscover the fresh appeal of a game.

    In any event, the only options are between approaching starting over positively or walking away, given that it's very clear that ZOS aren't going to change their position on transfers so accepting that is part of the positive approach to the situation.


    I don't know what's so appealing to do the same thing over and over again just to get back to where u were before, it's fine when u work towards something that u don't have but working towards things u know u had and worked for hard is extremely boring, these things take huge amount of time and i mean a lot... thousand of hours spent playing ESO but hey i can do better now i'm more efficient than i was when i first started but that doesn't justify it.


    The least the could do is let us transfer the characters with their levels, CP, skills, unlocks and achievements i can get behind farming for items and gold again but i ain't in hell gonna run all over Tamriel for skills, unlocks and achievements all over again, i have already done that on multiple characters.


    Also i don't know how you can play on both regional servers with that bad Ping you're just asking for random teleports and ur hits taking ages to register it's not even playable!

    You should just ignore the people who say they dont have performance issues. Even the ones that clarify they dont do anything besides quest or RP or whatever. They continuously say the same thing knowing full well it adds nothing to the conversation because they are players who dont do anything that performance issues would hinder. Such as pvp or trials or whatever.

    Everyone has performance issues. It varies depending on what you're doing. And if you dont notice it because you are questing or role playing or trading then fine but for the rest of us it is noticeable, especially for pvp players who have to deal with this abomination of a zone, called cyrodil, to play a game we love.

    That's a fair point where the performance issue is raised as a key part of the original question and is stated to relate to PvP or Trials. It wasn't. The OP posted the topic about the frustration of switching servers and starting over, nothing to do with performance at all. He subsequently made a generalised comment questioning how anyone could play with a high ping, again with no context. People are entitled in that situation to say what their experience is performance-wise and no, it isn't that everyone has these issues but some don't notice them, it's certainly related to content but a lot of players don't actually have any performance issues at all. Many do, and it's helpful if they give the content they're experiencing those in because outside of the problem areas there are other problems some players encounter and they can often be fixed - a recent post reported the player fixing crashes, for example, by cleaning out his startup files, another player reported fixing them by removing conflicting addons. Where the issues are outside of competitive content there is often a way of fixing them because they're not necessarily the same server problems that plague competitive content. That's why giving context is so important when mentioning performance.

    Ultimately OP tis up for you. Nobody else can encourage you to go and do what you feel is best , if you truly love game or seek to learn,experience more,etc you will come back and create a new char from zero on a different server,

    It's not that easy mate, this isn't a SP game it's an MMORPG.

    I have sunk so many hours into this game doing this all over again is not fun regardless of how much i love the game, server transfer should be part of the game especially with Microtransaction purchases, characters CP, Levels, Achievements and Unlocks..

    As i said i would gladly pay for this feature and i'm sure many others would but it seems like ZOS makes a lot more money out of people starting over.

    The title is not as you think... reason is i used to play on EU and now i moved to the other part of the world playing on NA having to start from scratch, ESO not having server transfer is really unbelievable considering MMOs require a lot of time investment and starting from 0 is not easy losing all my characters, gold, items, mats and time i sink into the game because now i live in another country...

    We should at least have server transfer for real money if that will encourage them to do it, i will gladly pay a reasonable amount to move all my stuff to another server.

    Ofc support can't help u and they wont do anything to transfer ur stuff they will just apologize and push you aside.

    Now tell me how the hell do i find the courage to start from 0?

    There is a difference between won't and can't. You assume the databases are build so transfer is possible and that support is merely refusing to be obstinate, while in reality is seems that it simply isn't a possibility due tp how the databases are built.

    Pretty bad the Ping is always 300+

    Lmao in Australia it's that regardless of server. You just live with it if you want to play, or you play something else.

    It's about the network issue of Australia or the routing between Australia and ESO server ?

    It's more about the distance - from Tassie it's 240ms to NA and 360ms to EU - about that.

    Well, those 240ms to NA is, when it is routed via Auckland-Hawaii - Telstra is routing differently, there it is more than 300ms.

    I'm pretty sure they can make it work especially Crown Store purchases but as i said it seems like they make quite a good profit out of it so there is no reason to have server transfer and lose that profit even if it costed real money for transfer they still make more out of u starting over.
