I want to take this moment to reassure the entire Elder Scrolls Online community that ESO will continue to be supported exactly as it was, and we fully expect it to keep growing and thriving on each of the platforms that are currently supported. Not a good thing at all.By now I am sure that most of you have heard the exciting news: Zenimax Media (the parent company of Zenimax Online Studios) has signed a deal to be acquired by Microsoft, including Bethesda Softworks and all of its studios, including ZOS. Major balls-up if something goes south, and I can say with perfect truth that having managed websites for years, something WOULD go south - which could cause a loss of all your account data on BOTH platforms. The number of issues that arise with just updates to small databases like phpBB3 and WordPress - lordy, and the game DB is proprietary, so. It wouldnt suprise me if zos has cross platform gaming coming soon with the next consoles. Hence why we used to get alot more specific system patches. There are differences between systems also That is probably the best explanation of why I have heard. The kinds of things that can go wrong are very serious. I am sure this is not impossible, but it is also not trivial. And all without messing up and having your items or other details suddenly appear or disappear or get duplicated because of database key errors or overlaps. Now it would be copy into some kind of temporary storage, generate new database keys that do not overlap with megaserver you are transferring into, reassign all the existing database keys to new database keys in that temporary storage, then copy from temporary storage and merge into megaserver you are transferring to. When ZOS were copying into empty databases at console launch, there was no worry about those database keys already existing and causing conflicts. And probably even more keys that are not obvious if we do not know details of database structure. And I am sure there is also an account_id.

So you would not only have to give the transferred player a new character_id, but update all those related tables to have the new character_id. Someone on another megaserver, regardless of their character name, probably has character_id 67897895637 on that megaserver. There are probably dozens or hundreds of tables. And that 67897895637 is all over the place linking what inventory belongs to you, what achievements, what quest progression, what mounts, what pets, what guilds, what friends, your guild trader listings, what daily rewards you have claimed, and on and on and on.
So your character named "Joe Schmo" might have character_id 67897895637. The various details in game are almost certainly not linked by character names but big gigantic numbers unique to each player. They said when they offered the switch that it was a one time thing made possible because the console servers hadn't gone live yet. Reason for the transfer really doesn't matter.
That one is the easiest fix but it is only one problem with switching between active servers. There will be same names so switching servers would require name changes. But as we all know if it doesnt make money dont do it.įirst problem that comes to mind is character names.
#ELDER SCROLLS ONLINE PS4 PC#
I wouldnt want to play on console against PC with their mods. In reality it shouldnt be too hard to transfer or to even make cross platform gaming a reality. It definately helped but it would be nice to be able to transfer. That offer was because of the massive failure of PC launch and zos trying to get people to come back to the game. That was a one time offer because the console servers were fresh. When the eso first came out on console you could transfer from PC to console with all your info.

Zos claims that due to ps4 and xbox and PC all being on different servers you cannot transfer between.
