by comparison with other gaming companies, it's far from kicking, and it's barely alive.

if you type Elder Scrolls Online on youtube, you can't even find a channel or a video with them. While others like blizzard or riot games, have millions. Nobody knows if this game is alive, the advertisement is missing. And far from kicking, you can see this at the competition.

they even have a youtube icon on their official site. Know where that will take u? on a channel that hasn't posted anything for 2 years. Imagine that you want to start a game, wanna see some videos about it from the official site, and you see nothing posted for 2 years. You still join in? Their facebook is a bit active but far from kicking.

Depending on youtube to judge the health of a game is like depending on twitter for your news.

Alive and well on Xbox NA.

I'm on Xbox One NA, and it's always packed with people, especially in bigger cities.

If you are just looking for a Casual experience and strolling through dungeons with Friends its fine, If you want to do endgame and raiding, the game is not in a good spot for that right now. Zos is dumbing down the game for plenty of patches now to attract casuals, because fast $$$ > loyal fans and playerbase.

I really want to take a break but I cant.
To many things to do too little time to play.
Frack I cant play all 8 characters on bg and random dungeon to get 100k xp.
I still need thousands of transmute for my gear on the 8 toons.

And yeah pc na eso is very much alive and kicking.

Freaking hell 4-5 hours of playing is not enough.

Effing real life gets in the way.

Dont get me started on sleeping.

Eso ps4 is dying. Well on my experience.
Started playing eso on pc.
Then pc died.
Transferred to ps4. Better graphics and performance on my pc that died.
Baught new pc able to play eso in ultra and love it.

Ps4 eso is cancerous. After finishing main story dc side, tried dungeons and trials to no success. Queue time is outrageous. Quing for random in pc is a breeze compared to ps4. Once queued for random dungeon for a day and no takers.

Ps4 eso is pitiful period.

Still play in there when pc na is on maintenence or patch.

At least I already know what to expect.

Is that Taylor Swift before she was famous? Not a good look.

ArchMikem

Yeah?

I mean really if the population was dead and you bought the game anyway, you could always just return it, that is if you bought a disk. Though barely anyone buys physical copies of games anymore. What a shame.

Anyway yeah Console's just fine, go nuts.

There was a time when a console fanboy was a console fanboy while a PC elite was an PC elite... Not in this game tho, the communities are just to busy hating each other.

Fear not @Kikke I am still one of the pc master race gods!

I’m on Xbox NA and I see people around. It’s a bit quieter but then again I only go on ESO whenever I can, mostly at night.

I'd advise against going for console, I have no idea how good/populated the community is but all I hear is them complaining about horrible performance, although that can be true for PC sometimes. Also...addons.

All I'm going to say is DO NOT PLAY ON PS4. Simple.

I can’t play on my pc anymore but want to come back to the game. Really want to start fresh on PS4 and just go through the game at my own pace. How are server populations on PS4 NA. And is it too late to start the journey?

@mmcgibbo I cannot speak on game populations on PS4 other than watching @xynode streams from time to time. However I can speak on Xbox population and it appears to be very high, at least in reletaive terms. In fact, I can barely notice the difference between xbox and now playing on PC for a couple months. IMO, you will not have an issue.

In my opinion from my own personal history of playing the game of playing the game on console and PC, what you will learn is the most drastic difference is the wait time on new content between when it hits PTS for PC players and when you are actually able to play them on console, which is often 6 weeks or more. I have to be honest, the last two expansions I played on PC, I completed everything I wanted to either on PTS or on my PC account by the time things were released on console. I had completely lost interest in the new content by the time it was released on console. In fact from my experience in most instances, (though typically not between Q4 and Q1 due to the holiday break) when console finally does get their hands on the "new content".... typically, within a week or two the game is already in the process of hyping the next expansion/update/chapter....whatever they are calling it now. The system isn't perfect. I don't really blame Zo$ entirely... they just have never figured out a way to make the game's community whole, rather you have to accept that it is divided between PC and console.

However other than this fact, I do not see any large differences with the glaring exception of add ons. If you are just wanting to quest out the game, which is perfectly acceptable and enjoyable... you really do not need any add ons other than skyshards/lorebooks, so playing on console is actually very similiar.

I say go for it, good luck!

Sure.. but we (players) are the ones getting the kickin. Kicking out the game with crashes and bugs galore!
