Hard to believe that when at 8 - 11 pm eastern AD had most of the map(Haderus). If what you say was true you would think EP would be have had it.

Technically, it's Daggerfall Covenant. The Stargazers sent envoys to the other factions to help with a problem in Craglorn (in Daggerfall Territory). Then there's that little issue in Orsinium, the Orc homeland. The Orcs of Daggerfall Covenant to be precise. And soon then there's the Thieves guild having teething problems in their early years in Abah's Landing deep in the Ebon... Oh sorry, Daggerfall Covenant.

Then you have all the high level crafters making gear and handing them over to the Orsinium Quartermaster who is more then happy to tell you that these items will do well in Cyrodiil.

So it's fair to say that the Daggerfall Covenant has teh highest number of players.

I'd say AD.

Volkodav · February 2016

I find more people on PC in the AD faction.

Cernow · February 2016

On PC EU I would say it's AD, but not by a huge margin.

This is a guesstimate based on observation in the PVE zones (I've played all factions) and on the size of the zergs in Blackwater Blade. I know that not everyone plays PvP and, if they do, not everyone plays non vet. But the thing about BB is it's the only non-veteran campaign available. So at non vet level there's no buff campaign and only one choice. So it's as fair a cross-section as you're going to get.

The map in EU BB is fairly well balanced most of the time, but the faction that most often dominates the map and reliably brings the biggest zerg is AD. However, not overwhelmingly so and EP and DC have their zergs too.

Just going by pvp numbers on xbox AD and EP fill 5-6 Campaigns DC has a presence in three but only fills one during prime time which they usually win Haderus.

Justice31st · February 2016

On PS4 it is EP.

Ra'Shtar · February 2016

Definitely DC mostly because many streamers play DC and you know how teenagers are about the popular ''kids''.

@RatedChaotic Us EP dont play Haderus (The good ones atleast) as its a bloody mess and laggy we took over every other campaign and farm enemy servers like Azuras. While Haderus is home to every single competitive DC ever and some AD while EP just has noobs there.

eliisra · February 2016

These things differs a lot depending on platform&megaserver.

On EU PC I always felt Pact had the biggest PvE population. Easier finding groups for quests, daily's and dungeons on EP side. Harder finding vacant grind spots. Harder finding nodes in Wrothgar and Craglorn to. I used to log my AD char to farm materials, just because less people to compete against lol.

In PvP I'd say DC. Since 1.6 and onwards they had the biggest Cyrodiil population, active PvP guilds and communities, if you look at all campaign pops(not just Lagzura that's always full).

So because you guys dont play in Haderus there are only bad pvpers there now? Noobish way of thinking lol and we dont own the rest of the campaigns. Lag is just as bad in Azuras m8. The lag is everywhere in pvp. Also if you guys are the good pvpers why is AD kickin your butt right now in Azuras.

well on PC/EU here is how it goes.
PVE: AD is the largest.
PVP: AD is the largest but contains many noobs. DC is the smallest but contains good players. EP is known for its zergs, bad coordination but enthusiastic about PVP.

Community,:
AD is the largest faction, we have more tolorence for everyone, and have lots of roleplayers and carebears. Is often blamed for containing the best players and worst. AD is extremely PVE minded.
DC is blamed for elitist attitude toward their noobs. Requiring achievements shown before you get to join a daily dungeon. They're also PVP minded.
EP is blamed for elitist attitude toward their noobs. Requiring achievements shown before you get to join a daily dungeon. They also contain the meme of "kids that played skyrim, who end up making 2handed weapon Nord Dragonknight damage dealers in heavy armor".

Reality: all 3 factions are equally good, helpful etc. all it requires for you to do, is to be helpful a bit and socialize a little. Get friends, join active friendly guilds. Take a look at prices of the items you own, join a trading guild and start selling a little. << those things will ensure that you have a good time playing through this game, regardless of faction you choose.

Pretty much this...
And yeah, DC has the biggest pvp % of all factions it seems.

AD on the PS4

Oldmanlawlor · February 2016

Xbox EU, it's definatly Daggerfall.

Duiwel · February 2016

I lol'd at the DC description

Keep in mind OP that all 3 alliances are populated enough that you should always find a group or people to do content with...

To answer your question - the second zone in any alliance due to the dailies, second zone = most people in any zone.

Samphaa · February 2016

Ps4 EU i'd say EP and AD are pretty close looking at the population on cyrodiil campaigns, DC seems to be about half of those 2, then again that's just a representation of pvp.

Bossdonut · February 2016

EP because of skyrim squeakers and morrowind neck beards.

n0x · February 2016

I play on PC NA.. any ideas on that?

RDMyers65b14_ESO · February 2016

On Tamriel Foundry,

EP 6,525
AD 6,485
DC 5,278

That should give you an idea.

I always thought that AD had the most players, but it appears that EP is still the most people.

And after the zergtrains that the EP has been using, it makes sense.

Yep. Nothing like watching an ocean of dirty tampons wash up on the keep walls lololol

wolfydog · February 2016

PC NA

These are just my obversations playing since launch and playing to many alts across all 3factions

AD is defiantly feels to me, the lowest pop in PVE.

Between EP and DC I don't really know. Going by noob zones alone, Stonefalls definatly seems to be the busiest in the game, but theres no way to know if all those people stick to their EP characters and get to high level. I think it overall it might to close to call without some of kind of official numbers.
