Just got my transfer to console email.

ZOS_GinaBrunoCommunity ManagerSorry if this is answered but I read the email as I could pay $20 to copy my PC toons (Maintain my PC toons) and then acquire the console version and not have to start from scratch.
Is that correct?
To clarify- I get to maintain my PC accounts as is with no changes
- I pay 20 dollars and now have an account for console with my current Characters
- I need to then acquire the console game to play and a separate membership if i choose
- Characters going forward progress independently between platform
To answer your questions in italics -- I get to maintain my PC accounts as is with no changes - Yes
- I pay 20 dollars and now have an account for console with my current Characters - Yes, though the actual copy won't happen until closer to console launch
- I need to then acquire the console game to play and a separate membership if i choose - The cost of the transfer includes a copy of the console version, though you can purchase an additional copy and membership if you choose
- Characters going forward progress independently between platform - Yes

I'd like to be sure. Since it's a 30 days offer. It expires on May 9th? I'd like to know because I get charged for my subscription on 6th..I know crowns won't transfer but I wanted those missing 100 crown to get my fiery horse!!!0 -
Chuggernaut✭✭✭I just cant without testing it first on console. Ive my doubts about Cyrodil. Hopefully later we get transfer to console and transfer to pc back if customers wants so.
OK...

•Access all your characters on console
•You may continue playing both accounts, but progress will not be shared cross-platform
•Please see "Additional Requirements" tab below and Terms of Service
I was originally not interested, but if you can do the transfer and still play on PC, I'd be willing to drop $20 bucks on it.My comrades have returned. I erect the spine of gratitude. You are a hero today. - Bura-Natoo0 -
Seraphyel✭✭✭✭✭Wonder what this will do to the PC game. console is going to be a flash in the pan. People will play and leave much faster than your average PC gamer.
I wonder if people will be allowed to transfer from console to PC? I just don't see console lasting very long. People play MMOs long term for the communities, and console players are typically more into CoD'esk games, play for a few months then drop it.
I see a short term boost in revenue, with the long term erosion of the player base...that is, UNLESS they allow people to port from console to PC.
That's exactly the issue.
Console version won't last long and what happens then? What happens when PS4, One and PC players are all seperated?

Exactly why I'm going for it. I may not play it very often on console, but it will be a fun time waster when I feel like sitting back in my Lazy boy and playing a game. It's a pretty good deal at $20, IMO. Even if I find I can't stand using the controller for ESO, I'm only out chump change. And who knows, I actually found I enjoyed Diablo 3 BETTER on console. Maybe this will be similar?0 -
Important question:
From the email: "Please note that if you take part in this offer, your character and account details will not be copied immediately upon pre-purchasing The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited for Console with account copy."
Is it a typo? will only 1 character transfer? or all our characters?0 -
Moonscythe✭✭✭✭✭I'm in. Now I just need to decide how to spend my accumulated crowns since they won't transfer with me but the stuff I buy will. I hope I can wait for more items to appear in the store before I have to make the transfer.

Since it's a 30 days offer, I think I'll just keep playing for 2 more weeks before buying the transfer so it can copy the progression properly and not my current VR1 Sorcerer.
Kinda sad it only a 30 days offer and we have to do it so quick but glad I'll be able to keep my Sorcerer and get the PS4 version for only 20$
Is the interpretation that the account copy is as of the day of purchase because it doesn't read that way?-PC (PTS)/Xbox One: NewBlacksmurf

To be clear, the character copy does not happen when you purchase the SKU. It will occur on a later date, a little closer to console release. We'll let you know exactly when as it gets closer.
Remember, you only have 30 days to take advantage of this offer so if you're interested, be sure and purchase it in the next few weeks. Doing so will not impact your PC character progression, or affect when your account gets copied.4 -

Hmmm I think based on how Neverwinter was recieved by Xbox One that this may do better on console than PC.
It's approx a 60 million customer base right now that is constantly growing. Even if they sale only 1 million copies that's really good-PC (PTS)/Xbox One: NewBlacksmurf

Just log into your account and buy it. The email isn't necessary BUT if you don't see it in the store once you log in, then you'll know that you don't qualify-PC (PTS)/Xbox One: NewBlacksmurf

Stand by what I said, short term revenue gain that just steals players from PC to console...and console dies fast, with player base erosion on PC leading to a snow ball effect of people leaving due to community break up.
Basically, here it is. 1/4 of my guild flies to console, they hate it, but just spent a month or two building up their character. They're not going to go backwards 60 days to and older version of their character(s), so they figure now is a good time to leave the game.
1/4 of my guild is gone, the reason why people play these games is for community. We loose even more members because their gaming buddies just left and aren't coming back, so they leave, and it just snowballs.

No, it's not good. It's bad, really bad. So your ES online game only sold ~ 2 million copies?

Destiny sold over 10 million copies within it's first months, ESO PC has sold maybe 1-1,5 million units and console preorders are at ~ 250k right now - that's NOTHING.

Several questions. First off I had an Xbox a good while back and it got trashed, never mind why.
I want to get a PS4, a friend has one that I tried a while and liked it.
What is the fee for using the PS4 for playing ESO. I saw something about $50 a year for internet play is that correct.
Next I don't have the PS4 yet. Do I need to have it purchased when the console version launches or can I transfer it at a later date just in case. I can do the $20 now.
Also I have two accounts, the Collectors Edition and an Imperial edition I bought around January 1st. I hope I get the option to transfer the one I want, the Collectors Edition obviously.
Thanks0 -
Merenwen_812✭✭✭as it is confirmed we can keep playing PC version after transfer/copy I am 100% getting this for $20 for X1 as soon as it lets me ...I still have the message
Linked Accounts
To play Elder Scrolls Online on your PlayStation®4 or Xbox One, you need to link your Sony Entertainment Network or Xbox Live account. You can link both a Sony Entertainment Network and Xbox Live account, but no information (characters, progress, etc.) will be shared between them--the accounts are entirely separate. This feature is currently disabled until we launch The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited for PlayStation®4 and Xbox One.
My new questions is, as it comes with a code for the digital copy to console of choice, will it be like all other games for X1 and anyone in household can make a new game? We have 5 gamers all with our own gamertags and I know 3 of them will want to play once it is on X1......0 -

It doesn't matter how many copies destiny sold that's not where it failed. 1 month after it launch people left in droves. Because the game was rubbish but they still managed to keep hold of quiet a few and it's still going.
ESO will do just fine and will have enough players to keep it going into the foreseeable future

This isn't news, they said that some time ago, they've always made it clear that it's a copy/clone not a move and that the PC characters will then continue to be playable, but entirely separately from their 'clones' on the console server.Chuggernaut wrote: »I was originally not interested, but if you can do the transfer and still play on PC, I'd be willing to drop $20 bucks on it.

✭✭So, basically, we keep our characters on PC, but get a copy of them on console? We don't lose our PC characters in the transfer process? If so, I'm sold.
Also: maybe there should be a separate FAQ stickied that has all these answers?0
