Nope. ZOS has not released any numbers and probably won't until it looks better to do so. Maybe after console if that goes well.

I am sure console numbers including my self will be high for them but i am really curious to the pc active numbers.

If worse comes to worse console numbers can give you a Decent idea of a minimum number on PC.

atm i dont think that much pc Player a playing teso,
1. gt5
2. witcher 3
3. no dlc, will Change after consoleros
4. summer

atm there (imho) 20k on each server

with the releas of impcity im sure (if the Content is done right) ~500k-1kk Players will play

It's only 1-2k people playing on Steam at this moment. There are over 700k members of ESO community on Raptr. I'd say 30-50k subs, 100k players daily on both servers, about 2 million accounts.

Yeah i have the steam and raptor numbers i would like the proper stats though.

so consolidating all the information above.... let's say we have at minimum: 20 THOUSANDS players.

let's split them NA and EU servers. 10 thousands.

then let's say at maximum, only HALF of that plays at the same time.

that's 5 THOUSANDS players online?

Let's discount it further. Cut it in half again.

2,500... no. 2000.




Every night I play on NA server (on what I consider peak time EST), and I move a lot between 2 ava campaigns, farm some at stuff all around the zones, chat with guildies, run around RP on major city hub.....


I do NOT see a total of 2,000 people in total on any given night.

Let's say maybe HALF is probably doing private instances.

1000 players??? REALLY??



I say BS.

I say anywhere between 5-10k at most, where 1-2k are subs. the rest are casual on-and-off players.

I think its safe to say it was too few to keep the game sub-based anyway. And it seems to have kept sliding downhill even after b2p/f2p.

This is actually the opposite of what appears to have happened, based on consistent in-game observation.

well considering they use "megaservers", If a zone is empty it really is empty... Hmm. You might be on to something. But 5-10k... Could it really be that few?

There were over 240k watchers on the couch stream i am hoping zos comes in here with numbers closer to 1-2 million i cannot imagine eso is falling that low. I remember that data collector site posted like 740k subs last July.

B2p should be bringing in more people

I really think that the july number was a peek of players in ESO. B2P transition didnt yeld that much of new players - its rather those who stopped playing returned. I myself am playing very rarely now but whne im on i must say my freind list is empty - and in the rush times after btp trans. it was at least 20 -30.

You forget that theres 3 side. Every side has 20 zones with dungeons, delves, etc.

What we know for sure that theres around 50k who read patch notes. Thats maybe half. So I say this game has 100k players.

GTA5 is huge on PC now.. need to wait when it slows down.

Good point.

Totally forgot about that. 3 factions. Duh!

But still, I think numbers like 100k is wishful thinking lol

According to Steamspy there are approximately 183k owners who purchased through steam specifically and about 43k players last week. http://steamspy.com/app/306130. Also to comment on to forums dying, the ESO subreddit just recently broke it's record high sub numbers with over 45k

There has to be alot more i just cannot see the pc numbers that low.
If it is then i think i understand just how important the console version is to them.

ZOS remains silent on the issue, and we can only guess, but now we don't get the posts from people in denial who say that the game surely must have a million players, or at least hundreds of thousands. Estimates in the tens of thousands seem to be the general consensus, and it agrees with what I see when I play the game.

The success of the console version is very important to them, and to us if we want to keep playing.

I find it difficult to believe that you could estimate tens of thousands based on what you see when you play the game. It is complete speculation.

Do you really want to know the number of players?

In PvP you can simply accomplish that: Go into PvP with a "new" char and make a minimal amount of PvP-Points, now go out of PvP and wait 1-4 weeks. After that period (depending on the type of PvP server) you return and check your placement in the scores. You'll maybe be on place 699 or so. Just to get a number of the players fighting on your side, on a specific pvp server, you can could try this

My advise: DO NOT do it because (just my personal opinion) there aren't many players left in PvP and you won't like the number :-) You should do this, if you aim for the golden-item reward (or purple) because only the "top percentages" get the golden weapon/armor. To determine which positions (how many players) will get a top-reward you have to know the total number of players.
--> It is better not to be too well informed about this game, this way you'll cry less and be less aggressive about all the problems (balancing, insta-deaths, lags, Players with mobility-advantages, Templars, etc..) Less knowledge = less problems
