Low Population?

Let's make this clear:

There is no real "mega server". You just happened to end up on servers with low player count recently.

I notice every zone is packed now, not just the big cities.
Every grind spot packed.
PVP packed.
I'm not sure where you are playing!

Which I love.
I hate many players in my area.

This was Mournhold a few moments ago. Not two weeks ago, there were tons of players there at this time of day. I can't even find pledge groups.

This is an instanced game. So while you might not see anyone there. It doesnt mean the game is empty. If anything youre a handful of people that got tossed into a fresh instance as the others are filled.

hhhhmm
Would it not be better to have 7/7/7 across 3 shards than 10/10/1 ?

Think ZoS would give us a kick button, for if too many a player is around?

Why would you want fewer people in a Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game? Enquiring minds want to know.

We don't know how ZOS splits players across "channels" (shards, phases, instances, or whatever you want to call it when two players are in the same over world place but cannot see or interact with each other), other than guilds and friends apparently have priority. We don't know if they balance them, fill in empty spaces, or just add people to the newest one. I will say that these channels are zone wide, so if there are 500 players in your Deshaan channel, they don't all have to be in Mournhold. Basically, if you can zone chat with someone, they are in your channel.

A lot of expansions and new games coming out right now. It's common this time of year, between now and November is when a lot of the new titles start dwindling out. People will want to check the other stuff out, some will be back, some wont.

I've been getting sucked back into playing STO which has a new expansion coming out, also Neverwinter which does a lot things right compared to ESO like the companion system, story line and the lore, but it also does a lot of things wrong (gold seller spam is still a huge problem years after release).

Blame the release of over watch and other games

Yea I've noticed it too, even after DB came out. It picked up slightly but it's still nowhere near what I saw earlier this year when people were spamming Wayrest/Shornhelm zone chats for pledges. Now even during peak hours it's a lot quieter on PC NA, it's getting way harder to find groups for dungeons.
