ESO PC NA, Total player population

Drinks-Loves

I been playing ESO sense release, as of many others. I wan't to keep playing and enjoying the game but I have a huge question and concern. What is the total PC NA Population? I do not want to keep my ESO career knowing that I am playing with a small community. I like to know the numbers and how many people are actually playing because it's and online game. For many this might seem weird, but others might understand where I come from. I am not asking for exact answers, but educated guesses.

More then 1 and less than 10 million

How would we even begin to guess what that number is?

Exactly.

Population varies too based upon your gaming preference as well. At any time PvP may be low but PvE may be high. Dungeons may be high but vetTrials maybe low. The game can’t make up its mind what it wants to be, so the population fluxes.

Too many variables. Sounds to me like OP is fishing for troll commentary anyways

Btw, your ESO career? Just sayin...

I would say the population is "healthy".

if you bring the steam count please be kind and leave...I can assure you that most of us do not play via steam.

How many players have played the game? over 10 million across all three platforms.

How many players still actively play the game? According to steam charts 14,000 24hour peak, this includes PC NA and EU. Now we know that some people play outside of steam so this number is not true. I want to be generous and boost that number by 1000%. You're looking at 140,000 players. Now we all know that ESO doesn't even hit the 50,000 count. If it does it wouldn't be dead after prime time. I love this game but I am real.

Sorry but we're a very small community and we're proud to be a part of it.

If you already play you know the answer to your question. For actual numbers only ZOS can tell you and i doubt they will give that out.

What do you got against steam players? I'm asking for a friend.

Let’s count. There is me. My girlfriend. So two. The correct answer is two. Unless you conclude correctly that there is no way I have a girlfriend. Then the answer is one.

People pull that out because it's one of the only sites that has actual numbers. It's interesting to see, even if it only shows a small part of the picture.

In fact, I think I'll bring it out on purpose just because you said not to. LOL.
This shows only the players who play through Steam.

What I think is funny is when people say the steam charts don’t matter because it is steam and not everyone plays on steam. But are more the willing to bring up post or polls on the forums that support their points.

So a chart that tracks play of between 7k and 15k players is less valid then some crummy poll with 500 votes or a thread with 1k views and responses from around 50 people. Get real people.

You will never get a proper answer to this since ZOS won't release the number of actually active player, as that would most likely undermine their 10M accounts boast.

Of course steam is accurate. For its part, but what if steam only represents like 10% of the player base?

MLGProPlayer

Steam population has been steady ever since One Tamriel launched last year.

ZOS recently said there are 2.5 million account logins each month. And with each platform representing 1/3 of the player base, we can assume there are 415,000 active users on PC/NA each month.

It's definitely one of the healthiest MMOs out there, along with WoW, GW2, and BDO.
