    Bugs that are squashed in a timely manner. Sometimes with emergency maintenance. Not the case here, we have to wait for the next major update if we're lucky :/

    That would depend on your definition of timely. DDO had a bug in their yearly Halloween event a few years ago that caused Turbine to cancel the event two days in until the following year. DDO has also been out for almost 10 years now and still has some bugs from the launch era that occasionally pop up every now and then.
    If you make the argument of staff size, you basically make my point.

    The engine itself is the source of most bugs and the only way to fix the most persistent and recurring bugs is to rebuild the engine. Which, if course, gives you a bunch of new bugs.

    PS4 NA EP.

    I meet a lot of new people all of the time. I started in November myself when the game went on sale. I know a bunch of people that did the same and are still playing.

    I have several people in my guild alone that started just a few days ago. It's looking good to me.

    I get a group really quick with the LFG tool but then again I am a healer.

    If anyone thinks the game is dying, create a new character and sit outside in the open area of the wailing prison and see how many new characters are flooding down the steps. It's crazy how many roll through.

    I know atleast on xbox1 NA server for EP, both riften and mournhold are almost always extremely populated. There are alot more players than there was maybe 3 months ago.

    I have noticed as massive population increase on xbox.

    I have noticed the vast majority of players that were playing fall out have returned.

    The competition in Cyrodiil this month is over x4 the amount of last month.

    I can only speak to what I have noticed in xbox

    Yeah, me too man. I remember how big it was around launch, then sort of died off for a couple months. Once these DLC's came out it really seemed to pick up again, especially following Orsinium and the "Million reasons to play" campaign. XBone EU.

    I still see a lot of players on PS4. Most seem to be in Cyrodiil or Wrothgar. The older zones do seem empty in comparison.

    Been levelling an apt and can honestly say I see lots of everywhere. And you can tell when they are new. Delves, dungeons, Cyrodiil, I would almost argue that the game has never been healthier here on PS4 EU.

    Also, levelling a healer the group finder works very quick.

    Played since beta, and then on console at release, until the game became unplayable on console.

    Agreed.

    When I log into the game on my One, it doesn't matter which character I'm playing. there's always tons of people on.

    Granted, the population kinds thins out the higher leveled areas you go to in Cadwell's Gold, but there were still tons of players even there.

    DC is rather underpopulated compare to the other two though, make a new chara is DC/ AD/ EP and compare you'll see what i'm talking about.

    For me it really depends on the time of day. I LOVE farming Craglorn on weekday mornings, where I can usually get all the nodes to myself. But if I travel to Mournhold or Riften there's usually big crowds on Xbox NA.
