Want to see a game on life support download SWTOR. It has been on life support for years and releases less than 3 hours of questing every two years, a raid, and a couple of dungeons. The game has a very small fraction of the player base it started with while ESO has been able to maintain their playerbase.
I've never played that game. Is SWTOR worth trying?

Once FFXIV drops on xbox then it will be adios for eso for a lot of us on a regular basis. Only thing that has kept the xbox population going has been the lack of decent competition in the MMO space.
Honestly, if that were the case, ESO would be dead on PC...
I disagree somewhat. IMO cant really compare the MMO market on PC to xbox since the amount of MMO's available on xbox is 100:1 in favour of PC. Whereas xbox theres very few decent ones out there so people tend to stick to the ones theyve invested the most into and have friends etc.
I guess i should probably mention that i dont think ESO will be "dead" so to speak. But the amount of regular players (such as myself and a lot of people i know in various kinds of guilds) will drop by a lot if there was decent competition in the xbox MMO space. This means less people subbing to eso plus, chapters, crownstore purchases etc.

Cant really say its in maintenance mode. But you can tell its on bare-minimum skeleton crew while they do enough to rake in the $$ to fund their other MMO they are developing. Especially since ESO's primary function now is aggressive monetization of the crown store compared to anything else.

I LOVE ESO to death. I play it daily, it's how I wind up before work, and how I wind down after. Been doing this for years.
Playing the last few months I've had to come to terms with longer Queue times and less and less of the player base to interact with. It's finally starting to impact my experience having less people to interact and enjoy aspects of the game with.
I'm looking for some positive thought for the outlook of the game. Should I be expecting a turnaround for the near future... or should I consider ESO to be in the digital version of hospice right now.
It does appear that something has changed.
They will neither admit or entertain the possibility of it on here.
Time will tell the tale.
I attribute this to changes ZOS made in Update 35 that caused some of the higher end players to leave the game. This would hit in the Tank and Healer areas particularly hard, I think. In turn, it makes group building longer and the presence of "fake role" players probably more common.
I'm not certain that the game has fully recovered from that debacle.
