Were are you ?? as our numbers decline what are you doing in game to keep logging on ??

Here is a breakdown of recent ESO player statistics from multiple sources:

MMO Populations (August 2025): Estimated daily player count of 84,562. This figure likely does not include all players, as the site uses a specific algorithm to generate its numbers.

ActivePlayer.io (August 2025): Estimated 150,000 to 200,000 daily active players. This source also reports over 3 million monthly active players.

Steam Charts (August 2025): Shows much lower concurrent player counts, with a 24-hour peak of about 13,301 on August 25, 2025. This only tracks players using the Steam launcher and excludes those on consoles (PlayStation and Xbox), Epic Games, or the native PC launcher.

Statista (April 2025): Reported that the total number of ESO players reached 25 million in 2024, with over 1 million players joining that year.

i keep logging in to wait in 1 hour queues for 3 of the other estimated 149,999 to 199,999 mentioned here to queue for the same dungeon as me

What am I doing in the game? Absolutely nothing. I don’t even log in anymore. But I still come to the ESO forums every day, just to watch the game drowning, since there’s no real alternative.
On the other hand, I’m happy with PoE, because GGG is doing an amazing job of keeping players engaged instead of driving them away.

kids remember that this isnt against TOS :

Battlegrounds received a HUGE change this patch that was not tested on the PTS, documented in the patch notes, and AFAIK, has not been commented on by the dev team.

Matches now start even if one team hasn't been filled. For the team missing players, they receive a slight buff for each player missing (5% damage done and healing done).

For such a big change, you'd think this would be documented literally anywhere, but the devs have not said anything about it, listed it in the patch notes, and it was not tested on the PTS.

ZOS, how hard is it to actually list all the changes you make in the patch notes? You constantly add stealth nerfs, tweaks to gear sets, and at times, massive changes to systems like this without ever addressing it or commenting on it.

Remember a couple years ago when you said you would try to be better with communication? This is exactly the type of thing you need to be communicating about.

Just get rid of RoA and Dark Convergence and call it good. Asking for ZOS to dig deep and solve the desync issues from all sources is a far less likely outcome given how things have gone in the past with ZOS.

Free pull sets have no place in PvP environments.

lol the alt account to call it a free pull set again is hilarious, but let's try this again, how is a 5 piece set a "free" pull? One requires you to aim it with a 25 second cooldown and use an AoE skill, the other has n 8 second cooldown and requires you to be in melee range. They are also both delayed.

Also no, we wouldn't remove the sets with cooldowns on them that have a higher opportunity cost and call it a day when the skill that desyncs more often than any other skill or set is jav and it can be used every single second.

The common term used for RoA and Dark Convergence is "free pull sets". That is the accepted terminology....by everyone but you for some reason.

tbf if swimming mounts did take 9 months we will probably never see crossplay

The poor sloth is doing their very best to keep up. I'm not sure which I would feel more breaking: pets having extreme zoomies or just letting them take a break in the despawn dimension. Maybe we need sidecars on our mounts to carry our not-so-active pets.

As Rich noted during Gamescom, crossplay is being worked on. There is a lot of work to go through because ESO was built way before crossplay was part of the industry. And there is 11yrs worth of content, systems and data to go through. The last thing we want is for systems to be heavily impacted by crossplay and have it an impact on your overall gameplay experience. So it's something we have to be extra careful about. Nothing else to report right now, but there is a team focused on crossplay.
