I am thinking of returning to the game. How is the population now? Are zones pretty active throughout the levels?

Sharakor✭✭✭In the NA server the population is around 25k active players, I don't know the numbers for EU or console though. The majority of the once vast population quit after the PvP updates, primarily IC.0

Should have elaborated, it is for PC NA. I am mainly a PVE player, but from what I have heard the population is mainly PVP centered? If so, I hope that the Orsinium dlc brings in a new crowd.0 -

Whenever it is rather active when I am online I see people all over the place. It may not be crowded but just about anywhere I go, someone is there. Delves even have a few to several! It is true though that there is a good number of people in Cyrodiil though.
As for Orsinium, it isn't going to attract just a new crowd, but many of the current as well. New content hype is very strong! Wrothgar is going to be crawling with players for days before it settles down lolGuildmaster of Power With Numbers in PS4 NA Server's Aldmeri Dominion.

That sounds great, looking forward to that. For the sake of not making a new thread, do you happen to know what the current state of any sort of "tank" class is? Is there a best build and are they really needed? When I left they were almost useless.0 -

Sorry I'm not a member of the metagame lol and I tend to stand by my philosophy that any build you work with can work. I will say though that Group Finder will start pretty much requiring someone to play the role of a tank. When you think about it though I'd be willing to bet people will exaggerate their roles just to get into a Group Instance or Trial lol but still a Tank can be a viable role if you play it diligently no matter how.
As for your question on if they are needed: In PvE I'd say yes they are a welcome factor to any group serious about taking on the dungeons.Edited by UltimaJoe777 on October 29, 2015 6:54AMGuildmaster of Power With Numbers in PS4 NA Server's Aldmeri Dominion.

I'd have a look at the Nightblade Sap-Tanks and, if you're PvE based, the general utility of a DK tank is still pretty good overall.I have departed into the great unknown that is outside the game and the forums, and wish you well in your Tamriel adventures!

Where do you get those numbers? How to check?Siblings-in-Prison
Lore:At a time of chaos and turmoil, children from all across tamriel have been taken by an evil Argonian Thieves guild. They were raised in captivity, forced to learn their captors evil ways and endured the harsh environment of Black Marsh. The intentions of the evil guild is still unknown till this day.
Amisdt the events surrounding the formation of the Ebonheart Pact, a brave few has escaped their captors and ran off as far away as they can, eventually landing on the shores of khenarthi's roost.
Armed with the skills and the scars they have endured during their captivity, these brothers and sisters in chains has vowed revenge on their Argonian captors and their allies.
They kept the names branded to them by the evil reptiles as a reminder of all the pain and torment they have suffered, and have joined the Aldmeri Dominion as a means to an end... Paint Tamriel with Argonian blood.

He made it up and hopefully he wrote down the number so he can confirm it any time he wants.
It is not possible to know the number from inside the game. Active player numbers are either made up or come from some report that provides estimations. We usually see the former, and the latter are usually just more formal versions of the made up numbers. Only ZOS knows, and if that information is out there, it won't be easily obtained for free.

✭✭You are definitely not going to find a lack of people on the PC NA side friend. Heck, when I get a rare day off I see plenty of people all over during non-peak times even. Lot of new players popping up as well lately.
I do not play a tank, but my tank guild mates tell me it requires a bit more planning and movement now, as well as a firm understanding of your build and utility skills. As someone said those nightblade sap tanks seem legit. Haven't played with any in pve yet but I watched one basically dance around messing with 20 enemy players in pvp without losing any health for 20 minutes, lol. DK's still make good tanks and I'm told their is a fun templar tank build as well.0
