Given the term 'dying' isn't really applicable, we shall start seeing a general slow death in the next year or so. Given Zenimax seems keen on pissing off it's endgame communities, it will have to rely off the churn generated by creating content like clockwork city.
In the times they do not, IE, the dungeon DLC's, is where you will see the least ammount of players.
But in terms of endgame, yes. The game is dead. The communities have become insular, certain guilds and nothing else. It is becoming too hard to break into these. And while these people will remain, not many will be willing to go to the trouble of doing the research they require.
What -is-- relevent to point out, however, is that the ammount of accounts active, does not mean currently playing.
I'd generally judge ESO as 'dead'. It's running on fumes, depending on some vey specific audiences which are not going to stick around forever. So.

They slowly become ghost towns.

ESO has been dying since 2014: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/142695/is-eso-dying
It's a stubborn one though and just won't let go.
