    I'm always amazed how wherever I go there seem to b e lots of players. I really need to go exploring out in the wilderness to avoid any toon contact.

    Have you been to Mournhold recently? Or Coldharbour? Vivec? Always buzzing....

    Which server and format?

    PC EU is thriving and I see low level players in various zones all the time. Not all zones are packed, but there are plenty of people.

    This cannot be true. I just started up again and people are everywhere. There are 5-6 people I. Every delve I go into and the queues for dungeons are fairly short, even for a DPS.

    I call bull****.
    At least at this time, now I have been alone in the Rawl'Kwa bank a couple of times, 04:00 in the morning.
    My guess is an instance bug.

    XBOX NA. Very rarely have I been some where alone. I find that in the hours of 0400 to 0600 is the time where the server pop is much lower. These are the only times I can think of where I can be gaming and not see someone else all the time. Now the times I have played in this time frame I can count on one hand so it is a small scope test.

    The only explanation for something like this is if he/she is always being put in a instance that has no on else.

    I can say that there are specific hours that are more people and specific hours there are fewer people. I tend to run late nights/early mornings on PC/NA and there are a lot of people when I first start, and usually a decent number when I get off in the mornings, but in between times it tapers off quite a bit. I am currently running my stamina warden through Glenumbra, which might take 2 more days before I'm off to stormhaven.

    It must be an instance bug. I live at the Rawl'Kwa house, (PC/US) and everytime I log in, no matter the time, there's always a hoard of people in and around the bank.

    I play on ps4 na and there's no way it's a ghost town. Players are everywhere..
    I just came back a few months ago, and was shocked how many players I've seen.

    I are here!

    Sever population seems fine to me. Delve I ran yesterday, was a mob scene and the 2 world bosses I killed, there were people there farming both. PS4 NA

    I wish companies would post their stats on the player population. Maybe they have, I was away from the game for a while.

    But which platform, and at what time of day in European terms? I assume from the name that you're Scandinavian but that doesn't necessarily mean you're playing at peak times for the server.

    Old zones are dead, newer zones are dead. Cities are dead. Everything in the game are dead it seems!

    EU server and posted at 4pm?. People were mostly coming back from work, probably doing groceries...unless you're a kid or a student....
    PC/NA
    - Redguard StamBlade dps ["bowtard" crafty girl who likes spinning with daggers too.]
    - Breton SorcMag dps [She's got an identity crisis, but I believe in her.]
    - Dunmer Templar dps/healer [she's a healer, then again she likes inferno staff too...]
    And..
    - High Elf SorcMag dps [It's quite possible his daddy was a Nord.]

    I play on Xbox NA. A ghost world indeed. Rawlkha use to be full of atleast a hundred people. Dueling, trading, socializing. Craglorn was full of people looking for trials groups. Wayrest, Mournhold, Brass Fortress, and any major hub you can think of has significantly less players. Every single guild I was in is eithee gone or merged and those guilds show max 20 online at a time and they are new players that wont stick around like the ones this game has lost.

    You guys must all be new players or are clearly blind. This game is suffering at the moment. Over the course of two days I was able to find 2 groups to run nAS. No one is farming for anything right now. Group finder can and will take a long time despite an event based around running random dungeons ongoing.

    Loading up into a city is so disappointing now. Text chat is nonexistent, no market to trade, no one to talk, no one to duel. Rawl'kha always use to have a group of 20 dueling in it, youll never find those players anymore and Im guessing if newer players go to Rawlkha theyll never realize how alive it use to be.


    You guys can be blind.. whatever. As someone who hasnt played in months.. the population difference is really easy to see.

    Oh, I do. I do indeed. Nearly every morning around 0430 or so. Lots more folk on around 1600 at least in AD, not sure about anywhere else.

    EU PC;
    1-3pm, I log in, enter a random delve in the middle of nowhere, I see a few people running around. I go to a far away village area, I see a few lowbies running around doing their thing. World seems active.
