    Everyone is stuck at home due to a worldwide pandemic. Naturally numbers in game are going to increase.

    Not exactly "great".

    The threat of deadly illness is a great excuse for increased gaming.

    Steam charts have continuously shown a higher population for a given month than the same month the year before with the exception of 2 months. So yea, it is good but not surprising. Probably a boost from the pandemic but April of last year was the beginning of increased playing time leading into the summer months.

    It will soon be going back down once they find out it is about as close to UNPLAYABLE as it can get.

    Would be great if servers could handle it well, they can't. Been getting constant lag, long load screens and a couple DCs. So it isn't good at all as far as I'm concerned.

    So does all the games. ESO is beautiful on the core, but getting wasted because of the stability issues.

    The game is currently free to play, and most people are stuck at home because of the virus. Obviously numbers are going to go up. They have gone up across the board for pretty much every gaming and online service in existence.

    These numbers mean nothing.

    I came across 3 ppl the other day at the mine of a very low pop brk and I couldn’t use skills. Oh yeah my guards were there too. Needless to say I logged off.

    There’s a global pandemic going on and there’s an anniversary event and ESO is free to play for a limited time.....

    Most of us are stuck at home, unable to work or even go outside except for groceries/other essentials. It’s not exactly something to be cheery about for ESO in particular. Significantly more people are playing video games atm.

    Yeah, as has been said, it is pretty obvious player numbers would surge right now. Bad thing for the world, but... at least it encourages people to stay at home and keep safe.
    It will soon be going back down once they find out it is about as close to UNPLAYABLE as it can get.
    Funny, I play it just fine. Maybe its you? :p;)
    Seriously tho, other online games I play have -way- more iffyness through server hamster overwork then ESO for me in those trying times. Perhaps some I don't play have less, but all in all... I say, ESO is doing all right on that reagrd, no matter what some naysayers might whine about...

    Four More Days and Free To Plays will have to purchase the Game. Many might move on and things could at least become better performance wise or they purchase and performance remains way it is if all of them decide to stay. Hopefully some will stay but also
    many people will move onto the next thing that way performance can go back up. At least till till the time servers will be able to handle it.
