✭✭✭I agree its fun. Its the best game I have played in a long time (for me personally) bugs and all aside and some gearing issues.
unfortunately I can't agree that it has a thriving community
I assume you are on AD side? try DC or EP its all but dead really. Keep in mind also that this is ONE SERVER and its almost impossible to get people to do any of the end game or group content.
I will be here for a long time but I worry about the future.
I am mostly EP I would love to see even more play but I don't think the population has dwindled critically low. I think the drop off is about what I would expect from launch to 3 months plus the summer time drop associated with every MMO. I can tell you every summer for the last 15 years trying to keep a raid force large enough in the other MMOs I played was always a struggle so this seems par for the course to me.4 -
Flynch✭✭✭✭Honestly, I firmly believe that VR should not be the benchmark for how popular or thriving the game is. I'm sure tons of people are nowhere near VR (myself included), those that have made it there are either striving onwards or have rerolled to experience the delight that is 1-50 and then there re those who pop into the forum for a quick read and frankly never even want to see VR.
Of course some have left - it's foolish to think otherwise. But there are definitely more options than 'it's quiet in vet ranks, ergo the game is in trouble'.
Maybe they will make vet ranks more approachable in the future - but there is so much to do between 1 and 50 that it doesn't surprise me that there are disparities in population at 50+ and 50++3 -

Lowering the bar does not prove you right. the game is 4 months old, most by now have someone at vet levels.5 -

Fortunately, the forums aren't the game, and no, the game world is NOT empty. Even at 3am eastern there were people all over the place. And yet, it's possible now to do a "solo" dungeon SOLO, except for the occasional VR12 guy slumming ;-)
Sorry if I've ever been 'slumming' in a delve when you were going through... These dang achievements are a trick to get!

I have a RL friend who started to play the game together with me. He is a father of three, with a day job, and a family. He likes the game, reads everything, enjoys the story (last time we played he was complaining to me that he sees what is happening to Valaste in the mage's guild quest but has no way to stop it)
His main character is level 35.
Anecdotal evidence, sure. But i think you overestimate how much time a non-hardcore player can afford to spend with the game, even if he likes it.11 -
Hadria✭✭✭✭I agree I can easily get a group for v1 content (thats where I'm currently at) and go thru dolmens, WB, and public dungeons. Making lots of new friends also!3 -
Martinus72✭✭✭✭I am playing ESO for 3 months now and having absolute blast, haven't had such fun for a long time in my 10 years of playing various MMO's.
I belong to silent majority of us just playing and enjoying, staying away from this forums, which have been poisoned by group of sad people long time not playing but being unable to move on and spending hours on bashing this game, spreading gloom and doom which truly can put someone off playing if instead logging to game would just read this crap here.
So yea you can call us names, we may be fanbois, ignorants or even ZOS employers but in your face, we damn enjoy this game

There is no chatter, no talking, just crickets. Every once in a while you get lucky enough to find enough people in the zone to complete map objectives.
Yes, some people have skipped all this content and went to Craglorn. But Craglorn isn't exactly the bustling metropolis you would expect it to be if everyone was there instead of in the normal Vet zones.
1-50 was amazingly fun and active. V6+? Not at all.
Again I see people post this yet every time I go to Graglorn I have no problem getting into a tower group to XP grind and I see all the other camps running for grinds as well. We just have different experiences. I can only go by mine as you can only go by yours.
I don't think Craglorn is dead. Far from it. It is extremely active compared to V6-V10. I'm only suggesting that if the sole reason the upper VR zones are empty is because they are all in Craglorn, well then Craglorn would be standing room only. And it most certainly isn't.
I love CL myself. I find the dungeons there (4man) to be much more enjoyable and just as rewarding than most of the VR dungeons. I did an Anomoly the other day for the first time with a group of 4. Ranging in lvl from VR3-VR8. We struggled, but completed it and it was a blast.
Haven't tried the Trials yet.
Craglorn is tuned down from V6+. That, and the very solid xp are the main reasons people are there. But how many people leave the game before they give Craglorn a try?
I am concerned this number is very large indeed. Not only that, but people will tire of Craglorn very quickly if they spend all of their time there.
You raise some interesting points; I think that the real question is what it tells you. For example, my main is VR4. The populations there are still just fine (getting dolmens and world bosses is OK; strangers pop up in quest dungeons and delves at a good clip; etc.) But I'm not spending as much time with him, even though I enjoy the difficulty and the zones. The basic reason: that character is basically "done". I've developed his main skill lines. I'm filling in others for options (e.g. staff and light armor), but that's quite different than mapping a new character experience out.
So I'm spending more time leveling up my crafting alts, trying other build concepts out, and experiencing all three story lines in "native' rather than VR mode. Roleplaying, and so on. If I had some crucial reason why I needed a level capped character I would have pushed through to VR10: but what's the rush? So I'm one of those "missing" players in the upper VR ranks who is still perfectly active in-game.

MeowGinger✭✭✭Where are all the people in the veteran zones? I'm not sure where OP's coming from in that respect, and I'd really like to know. Am I playing on the wrong server?
I saw many in Stonefalls (over a month ago, not sure how it is now), fewer in Deshaan, and almost none in Shadowfen and beyond. When I made it to Glenumbra, I saw the most people I had seen in any of the veteran zones since Deshaan... but the population again steeply drops off after that. I don't see people in Craglorn anymore either. I've played just about every time segment, too, except for 4am - 8am in my time zone.1 -
ItsMeToo✭✭✭✭✭My main just reached VR1 last week, but I haven't finished Coldharbour yet. Therefore, I'm not in the VR zones and won't be for a long time. I'm going back to the lower zones first to get what I missed or do the bosses I couldn't beat at the time.
This is a very fun game and the journey is what I enjoy. I leave /zone chat off and love the peace and quite. If it wasn't for being the Leader of my guild, I would just turn all chat logs off, plus the HUD, and enjoy the solo experience of this great game.
I love the people in my guild and want to interact with them from time-to-time, so I leave my /g1 chat on.
If I want to do a group dungeon, they are there to help.
Thanks guild mates, you're the best.FYI - There is no such thing as 'night capping' in a world wide MMO.FYI - There was no paid Beta. When they launched the game the Beta was over, even if you don't think it was.FYI - It's B2P not F2P. There is a difference.FYI - It doesn't take any player skill to mash keys or buttons in this game. The ones that stay alive longer have the better internet connection and speed.FYI - The game is not broken, it still works. It just has 'bugs' that need to be fixed.Balance is a "Bad" thing.
Example: There were hundreds of Jedi and only two Sith in Star Wars. The Jedi wanted, "Balance in the Force" and they got it. Now there are only two Jedi and two Sith.

Soooo because my experience is different from yours I must be wrong? It doesn't work that way, as I said to another I can only go by my experiences and you can only go by yours. Mine have been such that I have not seen the issue with population as so many here would make it out to be, a no man's land. Apparently yours differs. I am just not seeing it in zone VR1 through VR8. The population could always be better but I do not think it is any sort of crisis.3 -

Straw-man much? You whole post is one big straw-man. I never said there was an overflowing and as far as a thriving community there is more than enough activity to make that a debatable point, hardly a proven truth.0 -
Deejah✭✭I am with the OP. I have been through a few MMORPGs, but this one reminded me of my great times I had back in EQ1 and FFXI (before the release of WoG expansion). I find the world very fun to run around it, I enjoy at times watching the zone chatter (and easily chatting it up if I want too), and the fact that though there is a few bad apples (there always will be), that the community itself is probably one of the more mature I've been in for some time.
Sadly cause of the bad apples and some negative reviews, the game doesn't have the love it should have. Also people some reason seem to forget that no game ever releases being perfect, there is always bugs somewhere (some kinda game breaking too), and really an MMORPG doesn't come into its own of actually being mostly bug free till it hits around 6-7 months old.
So, I'm looking forward to what the future brings and hope to be on board for several years to come."Dream the Impossible and conqueror the unknowns"0 -

First Look up a straw-man argument as a logical fallacy. Second I used overflowing to describe the accusation when pointing out in the quote that I never made the claim of an overflowing population but instead that I was implying the population was adequate but also would like to see more.
The post I quoted put words in my mouth then went on to argue against what I never said but instead what he said I said.2 -

If these zones are populated, I will likely try to level up another character on the appropriate server and try to play at the appropriate time frame, because I actually would like to play with other people around.0 -

Straw-man much? You whole post is one big straw-man. I never said there was an overflowing and as far as a thriving community there is more than enough activity to make that a debatable point, hardly a proven truth.
Straw blah. Look up the definition.
The thread is entitled "Teso is a blast with a thriving community" which is stated as though fact. That's a nonsense of course and the entire OP that followed was in a similar vein. The points you made could certainly be taken to imply there is an overflowing, thriving community (half of that is explicit). It's hardly a strawman argument if your fanboy post is so outrageously constructed and over the top that a rational reader would take that away with them.
Words like "plenty", "thriving" and stating that you don't even have to ask for help usually because there are always groups about doing content etc etc. Anyone who regularly plays the game knows this is simply untrue. Your exuberance doesn't just hint at the conclusions I made it kicks a rational reader in that direction with a size 12 to the rear. Strawman lol.
I'm still not sure it's not a troll. Well done if so. If not.. jeezus son, get your hand off it a little hey?1 -
