Do you know how many people play ESO?

✭✭✭✭✭ZOS have never released active figures, they have only released accounts purchased numbers.
You can see some values like those playing on Steam, PS4, XB1 etc. however these are not accurate figures for current numbers nor subscribers.@Turelus - EU PC Megaserver

Sounds about right, however we don't know what the numbers are for retention. They've also said a lot of their customers treat ESO like a single player RPG and will come back for a DLC to do story, then go back to other games until more content becomes available.Account Purchases says 8.5 million?@Turelus - EU PC Megaserver

✭✭✭I have purchased 3 accounts but only use 2 (Or rather I purchased 2 accounts but received 3). And I know a few others who had multiple accounts but only use 1. So you can't really say how many people actually play and cannot rely on the account purchases.
All we know it's less then 8.5 million and more then 400 (more then 400 because if I do not PvP I am at place 700 for emperor on Azura. If I play maybe once a week I rocket to place 400 so there are at least 399 and me PvP'ing on Azura)
But it's a guess for anyone. My wild guess, and I could be totally wrong, is 100k to 150k active people who log in each day. Then we have maybe 10k sleeper accounts who log in when new single player content hits the shelve.٩(͡๏̯͡๏)۶
"I am a nightblade. Blending the disciplines of the stealthy agent and subtle wizard, I move unseen and undetected, foil locks and traps, and teleport to safety when threatened, or strike like a viper from ambush. The College of Illusion hides me and fuddles or pacifies my opponents. The College of Mysticism detects my object, reflects and dispels enemy spells, and makes good my escape. The key to a nightblade's success is avoidance, by spell or by stealth; with these skills, all things are possible."1 -
andreasv✭✭✭✭✭Account Purchases says 8.5 million?
But that's purchases. And purchases since release (not sure about that)?
I doubt it's anywhere close to that number. If you look at Steam charts for ESO the all time peak is around 29k, and I doubt 8 million are playing on the ESO client.
I hope they get enough players to make the game seem busy and get stuff done for everyone playing (ie. get a group together within a reasonable time). Don't care whether it's 800k or 8 million in the end.0 -

✭✭Multiply all the city guild traders by 500, then multiply that by 3 (for each platform) and you'll have some idea of how many active players are out there.0 -

✭F2P promotion was able to get 300k users at least accordingly to SteamSpy. Im kind of surprised I think its quite impressive they are able to pull 300k numbers and this game is 3 year old. Theres still buzz around this game for sure.
Can we say they have done something right? Or its the IP what keeps this game going under. Sounds to me that quarter DLC plan is working, thats the whole thing, if you make Expansion every 2-3 year, the game is forgotten when the Expansion actually comes.Edited by Sausage on April 18, 2017 9:51AM0
