    I am never lonely in ESO, i always seem to come across someone no matter what random out of the way location i might be..

    Sometimes finding help for a dolmen at 4am is tricky though.

    Okay, I checked both out....neither has confirmation of information you posted. You are just drawing your own conclusion based from unreliable/unofficial sources.

    I am drawing my conclusion from deductive reasoning, "Multiple" reports, numbers and sources, forums, websites etc. Being a beta Tester, and being around since launch and watching the game.

    You can step back and take a look at the "big" picture and get a pretty clear idea and some average numbers based on what that picture tells you.

    So no my information is not, "Unfounded", in fact it's pretty damn reliable, but can I prove it with an official statement from Zenni? No.

    Zenni (or any business for that matter) is NEVER going to release that in an official document unless they are forced to by the law as public companies are. So you have to go through tons of reports sales numbers, forums, user complaints posts that are for unsubbing, and do a little math.

    To see the big picture. It's called Analyzing. And it's what people do, that want to know things about companies that refuse to release hard data.

    Whenever you feel alone in TESO, just go to a town bank....you're bound to find at least 25 - 100 people just standing around.

    One thing i have noticed is that Rawl'kha in Reapers March bank is ALWAYS jam packed.
    I wonder why that is?

    The Mega-Server tech that ESO uses creates a 'funnel' effect on zones. The servers dump random players into zone areas (ANY instanced area, like buildings, caves, etc) and tries to balance the populations in the various instances.

    Think of a server as having a giant invisible lobby that everyone is first placed into. Then the server gathers up a person, and anyone they are grouped with, and dumps them into the best available instance of whatever area they are going into. Along with whatever random people are already there or are also entering.

    Makes for a rather disjointed and unsatisfying experience, I think. More folks inside the Tardis than were ever seen going in. :/

    I can't speak for the veteran content zones, but for the 1-50 zones at least in the Aldmeri Dominion, there are allot of players in the cities and in the wild. I got ESO at launch and played for a month then quit. I've just now come back after a month or so and couldn't be happier. I haven't seen any bots at all and the community seems to be awesome and populated so far. I'm glad to be back.

    Right. Analyzing.
    ESO has dropped over 250k subs in the last 3 months

    Kind of wondering how the above--posted as fact with no official numbers to back it up--and relying on conclusions that are admittedly based on"forums" and "user complaint posts about unsubbing" (LOL!), along with "a little math" can be seen as anything but ridiculous, unscientific, pompously-stated BS.

    But then, your idea of "analyzing" seems to put a LOT more emphasis on the first four letters of that word than most people's.

    This was there Original sales so far, and they have sold a little over a million copies world wide if you include digital sales.

    Physical and digital sales
    VGChartz reports that in its first two weeks of release, Elder Scrolls Online has sold 300,000 physical edition boxes, which include the physical Standard Edition and physical Imperial Edition. These are physical game boxes sold by participating retailers worldwide.

    eda9ff017df21e3679ff37657eb06417aae46364.jpg


    Breaking down this 300,000 physical sales count, more than half or 170,000 was sold in North America, a third or 100,000 was sold in Europe with the remaining sold in other countries.

    Then we need to add the digital sales, which could be as much as triple the physical sales.

    This was the April Launch report.

    Since then, Subs have dropped like a rock, you can browse around and search for the info, but actually company statements will not be released due to Zenni being a private company, and not required to release such stats like other public companies such as EA.

    So basically you are just making crap up and pulling numbers from thin air. How does release sales correspond to anything about SUBS, oh ya it doesn't. You just want to pretend you know something and spout garbage on the forums to act as if you are somebody.

    Funny thing is I am seeing just the opposite and can attest that VR 8 zones are much more crowded after this last patch and even before the last patch they were not empty. So many lying chicken little trolls here.

    They did average on Sales, But have failed to maintain the many of their Consumers thus far. Though they still maintain about half or a little more of their original Subscriber base.

    Source please, because all you are doing is spouting nonsense and trying to pass it off as authoritative. We call that foolishness in my neck of the woods.

    Because the bank is close to the crafting stations.
