How many players in ESO currently ?

Is this a poll for active players right now (logged in playing) or for players playing the game overall?

I don't think anyone but ZOS will have these numbers for you. The closest idea you could get would be a program which tells you how many people are currently playing the game like Steam. Right now Steam has 1,552 in game.

It's pretty safe to assume, that there are far more than 25k+ on the servers. Games with not even a million players have that concurrency pretty much all the time. And ZOS has millions of players, ESO should exceed this by far.

I've been leveling a baby NB atm and I have seen a lot of new players in the EP starting zone so the game must still be attracting new players, which is awesome!

Plus I must say it's really nice to see the help they get when asking noob questions in /z. I haven't seen one sarky reply yet and all have been helpful and constructive comments. Nice one ESO players!

I am playing at a very slow pace with 8 characters in all alliances. Due to that I have a quite good overview about the population changes in newbie areas during the last 6 months, because I was there, pretty much every day. And my impression is not, that ESO is "still" attractive, but that it's popularity is increasing and there are more and more players in starter zones.

We kinda don't know how many players there are... lol

But statistics of other games with high player numbers and the concurrency in those game gives the ability, to make educated guesses, which might be very near to the truth. We don't know for sure, but it is safe to say, the concurrency of ESO is higher than 25k players.

I assume this poll covers all 3 platforms?

I am not sure why so many here forget that this game is on the PS4 and Xbox One as well as the PC, and the Xbox One servers must easily be in excess of 25K.

I don't think ZOS have ever given us straight numbers about how many players there are.

Now that the game is Buy-To-Play then will the inactives get counted, or will they be excluded?

Exactly - my personal estimation is that the concurrency in total on all megaservers is exceeding 100k.

The poll is about concurrency - how many are online NOW - not about player numbers. So inactives do not count and as well I do not count, because I am not logged in currently.

Edit: in the "year ahead" ZOS said, that "millions joined" in the last year, and those are mainly from consoles. Now given that console players are many and the options for fantasy MMOs are extremely limited on consoles, it is safe to say, that a lot of those wanting to play fantasy MMO on console will be playing ESO.

Another thing what comes to mind - currently fallout 4 is very popular with it's new survival mode and on the Bethesda.net website there is a new hype for The Elder Scrolls Legends - a card game - which will push the attention to the Elder Scrolls as well coming from Fallout 4 players.

Btw: who hasn't played Fallout 4 in the new survival mode yet - do it - it's absolutely awesome.

See, games like this are not out since yesterday, but for more than 2 decades. The standard quote of players concurrently online is normally between 3 and 5% of the player base for the more popular games. So if a game has at least a million players, this is in the range of at least 30,000-50,000 players concurrently online. ESO has millions of players, so it is totally safe, to say it is more than 25k, because it will easily exceed this threshold.

How can you ask us to determine we have to clue to?

failkiwib16_ESO

@Lysette hmm true, I personally think the numbers exceed 25k on PC/EU but I have no numbers for it.

The population is in general spread out in 3 factions, each faction have different hotspots for:

• trading
• crafters doing writs
• veterans picking up dailies
• low levels questing and often getting achievements for public dungeons etc.
• DLC areas
• node and flower farmers
• grinders
• Cyrodiil spread out on different campaigns - with people doing pve and pvp.
• players who are already in a group dungeon farming the helmets or doing dailies

So when we do a few of these things, no wonder we meet the same players over and over - it's not because the servers are empty we just meet players in the same stage of the game as ourselves, thus we meet more often..
