Seeing my alter-characters in Tamriel
I've got three characters I use for ESO/Morrowind. I can see other player characters at the spot where they leave the game. However, if I leave an area with one character and begin using another character, when I go to the area where I left my first character, I can't see them standing there. Does this just apply to your own characters but not to other people's characters?

SquareSausage✭✭✭✭✭Dude what?
When you log out you instantly leave the game. Same goes for everyone.

OK, so those characters I see just standing around in one place for hours are live players that are still signed on but aren't doing anything at the moment?

Are... are you sure they're not NPCs? -
They've got pets, Names/rank/red bar above the characters. They look to me to be someone's playable character. Don't you see those just standing around? If you signed off and your character just blinked out of existence, when people signed off for the evening, wouldn't the world be a little barren?

Not sure if trolling, or...
Just in case you're not: the players you're seeing standing around doing nothing are probably chatting in guild chat or something like that. Also, no, the world is not barren when players log off for the evening because of this little thing called "time zones."

A family photo with all 11of us would be quite something.

Right. If you log out properly, your character disappears immediately. If you force quit without logging off properly, your character may remain there for up to fifteen minutes before the inactivity timer kicks you out.If you force quit your character stays for a while however it doesnt work if u log on other character.UESP: The Unofficial Elder Scrolls Pages - A collaborative source for all knowledge on the Elder Scrolls series since 1995

✭Just in case you're not: the players you're seeing standing around doing nothing are probably chatting in guild chat or something like that.
Guild chat, or roleplaying, or checking out-of-game guides, or in a menu that doesn't have an animation (does the CP menu have an animation? What about Collections? I'm not sure), or are taking a bathroom or food break, or they could even be people watching. I do that sometimes: I walk around a busy city and look at all the player characters, to see what designs people have come up with.
You can be temporarily disconnected from your character (internet outage, etc.). At that point, your character will linger in the game for a short time before being booted for staying idle, just as you can be booted for leaving the game up for too long. Not sure what the idle timer is... ten minutes? After that, you're kicked out.

My Girls:"Elsweyr, yay or nay?"
Nephikah the Houseless, dunmer assassin: "If circumstances try to drive me there, maybe. Right now, it just sounds like a lot of sand in my boots."
Swum-Many-Waters, elderly argonian healer: "The simple thought of it dries my scales. I ventured into Elsweyr long ago, but I may be getting too old to make the journey again."
Silh'ki, khajiit warrior-chef: "This one looks forward to seeing her home sands again. Perhaps she will make her home village many fish sticks!"
Peregrine Huntress, bosmer hunter: "I could do much with a good dragon hide."
Lorenyawe, altmer mechanist: "I see little need to muck about some ancient tomb. Too much work to do elsewhere. No, that was not an intentional pun."
Lorelai Magpie, breton thief: "Stealing from the Ban Daar is always a fun challenge. Sometimes, they steal their stuff back!"
Rasheda the Burning Heart, redguard knight: "While I try to stay at Swum-Many-Waters' side, the whispers of an undead threat worry me."
Hex-Eye Azabi, khajiit daedric priestess: "Perhaps. The lady Mephala spins many webs, and I can see there being benefit in sending me into the path of an undead invasion."
Yngva Stormhammer, nord bandit (reformed...ish): "I hear there will be dragons. I would be a disappointment to my Nord heritage if I did not try to slay them."
Madam Argentia, dunmer aristocrat: "I have little desire to waltz across the desert for weeks at a time. It's terrible for the complexion."
Mazie gra-Bolga, orc scout: "Uh... I'm kinda busy up in Wrothgar, sorry!"
Felicia the Wanderer, imperial witch-for-hire: "The Khajiit usually throw some nice contracts my way. I'm sure Jimila will have something that will take me there."
Calico Jaka-dra, retired khajiit pirate: "This one is happy to check back on her homeland after grand adventures drew her away! Let the kittens call her -dra instead of -daro now!"
Shimmerbeam, blind altmer psijic: "My lady Meridia does detest the undead. I may need to sneak out on my duties on Artaeum to address it."
