My bad.. not transfer.. but buying the game for another platform for $20.. To me.. it feels like a transfer.

It isn't a transfer because you still retain all your characters and information on the PC/Mac version, too. Your account is basically copied and imported to the console version of your choice. After the copy, they are no longer tied together and this can't be done again.

I get what you're saying, but again why would I want to have a copy of the game on PC and on Console? Unless I plan to continue on the game with my console, only I would get the game again for console. There are others who might want to play on PC and Console and progress separately, but its just down to personal preferences.

Yeah I know it took a nosedive in PC and inevitably became F2P like most expected. I had lost interest last year and cancelled my instore pre-order, but forgot I made an online one and have now been charged for it. I'm still in the fence about it. Not sure whether to return the CE or not. I heard there were issues with the statues due to the shoddy packaging design which is worrying! >.< Also, I don't have enough friends that I play online with or that are interested in the game to play with, so I can imagine the experience to be a little lacking for me. I enjoyed Skyrim, but am prepared for a let down with this...

There was a really good and in-depth review of this on IGN (I think) yesterday or the day before. It really addressed a lot of the issues people had and if you've followed any of the ESO streams they are ALWAYS open to criticism from the community and work to make it better. I don't own the PC version, but have enjoyed following along with their twitch episodes and communique' via social media, hoping it does well on consoles, but with no monthly fee I've got nothing to lose really!

Also, if anyone has an x1 and wants to play, let me know! I'm gonna push my backlog further back and give this a whirl next week!

I may or may not play it. Haven't decided yet.

Been waiting what feels like a lifetime for ESO. Preordered the imperial edition on XboxOne when it was announced, and what's it been...a year and a half, now I finally get to play it!

Should be here tomorrow, can't wait.

First post here so go easy!

I played eso from day 1 release on PC having run countless mmo's into the ground. A group of us joined up, the mega server appeared to get going after a dodgy start, but the gameplay was good, crafting was deep and meaningful, quests were well thought out, our first dungeon was a great laugh.....

By the third/fourth night we began to have problems. The game design of instances across the world (not only dungeons) meant as we sometimes levelled separately, as some had more time than others.....Or at least no kids!!????
We began not to be able to play at all together, in fact you couldn't even see them!
"I'm standing outside the burned out church"
"What burned out church?? I'm stood outside a perfectly normal church? Wtf?"
And so went the world if instances....

An MMO where, yes you can play with others, but not your mates, well least not till your capped!

But, yup, I still transferred to ps4 (my mainstay gaming machine) because it was a bargain, and fun to play and I want to see how this will work on the ps4...maybe if supported allow developers to push the mmo concept into consoles to a greater degree. so what the hell

I'll pick up the statue or that nice steelbook in the future (having burned my cash on the Witcher 3 and upcoming batman CE this month) but I must say if the statue quality is nice may wish I'd just gone for the whole CE.

Time will tell! And for those who bought it, See you server side....or maybe not

Welcome officially to the forum Edge! (As an aside that's one of my all-time favorite names for ninja-like characters in RPGs) I heard similar woes about situations with the PC version but it sounds like Zenimax and the ESO team have really been trying to respond at a fairly fast pace to its community complaints, so hopefully we'll see the same care (if not better) with ESO:TU. Sadly I'm on X1 so won't be able to join up with ya, but I look forward to seeing/hearing from you around the forums for sure!
