Hi everyone, as a guild leader I have been anxious to find out how the mega-server works for quite a long time (since late 2012). At first we were told that the mega-server would be a way for us all to connect together without making new characters on different shards to get together with friends. Because of this information, my guild has been recruiting players from EU and NA as we were not aware that they would make two MEGAservers (possibly a naive move on our part). To be able to make decisions (such as guild positions) I need to know how the megaservers work and who will be able to play together (if we are separated), it is now mid January, only a few months away from launch and I am still not sure how the megaservers work.

Unless I missed a big chunk of information, I am pretty sure they have not released any information on how the megaservers work which is a little frustrating for me (and I'm sure many other global guilds). So, the main focus of the post is to try and uncover the megaservers mechanics and how we will be seperated at launch, even if it just provokes discussion.

Can we change megaservers at the click of a button (without creating a new character)? Will EU players be totally cut off from NA players and vice-versa? Do Zenimax even know how the megaserver works haha?

I even contacted support a while back and received this response:

“Greetings!

We have yet to discuss in detail the ways in which our megaserver will place users from multiple countries, but our goal is for players around the world to be able to adventure together in The Elder Scrolls Online. We’ll have more details on the workings of the megaserver as we approach launch. We hope you stick around till then!
