Friend told me only 10k people play this game

[.empty]

Is this true or not...it says 10k on steam...is there a way to see all players playing ?

[Code Panda]

... Does the player count even matter?

[Chris]

Nope. I am playing for a few months and I -never- have issues finding a match for Cyrodiil,any boss or dungeon. Especially guilds help in finding activities in under a couple of minutes even!

WoW is kid-tier accessible garbage though.

Maybe for you, im just telling facts, and still the number one of all mmorpg and much more contents and pvp, just see superdata World of warcraft legion is ranked 4/5 for a game that get the most money.

WoW is the ugliest game ever.

[Sir Fed Dump]

That's 12,000 just on Steam. I doubt that's anywhere near the total number of players.

Just because McDonald's makes killer money, doesn't mean its food is healthy.

The Game wasn't available on Steam when it launched. There are FAR more players that use the standalone instead of the Steam version. To think it would be a 1:1 match is plain stupid. It's a 1:10 ratio at least, but might be even higher.

Especially since existing players didn't recieve free steam keys, so hardly anyone of older players use the steam version. And keys for the standalone version are much cheaper as well. So why should you get the game on steam anyway? It doesn't have achievements or any other steam functionality. I bought the game twice actually, but only because I like to have my games on steam, most people won't do that.

One reason why you won't see many players is that people are getting spread on different channels ingame. It's automatic, so you don't notice it. PVE areas are never crowded because of that.

I don't know every time I go to a city or quest hub I always see lots of players.

Compared to other MMOs, this game is a wasteland.

Meh, not really.
I played the first 5-6 months of WoW Legion, and while it clearly has more players, the only times it looked "busy" were right after content patches.

Otherwise, it was roughly as much as I see in ESO, the occasional wandering soul every 30 seconds to a minute if that.

I did some research here you go http://steamcharts.com/app/306130 now dont argue anymore

Here's another game: http://steamcharts.com/app/8500
Thing says EVE Online have barely 2,5k players, with 3120 on peak.
EVE Online says they have 20878 players online right now, and its not even prime time.
Your point?

My point is Eso have http://steamcharts.com/app/306130 on steam and maybe 10k-15k on laucher, the guy was saying there was 8 millions players, i told him it was not possible because if they were that, you wouldnt be able to farm materials for crafting and all and i just got in pc NA server to see how the pvp server was and lol on 1 server had 2 bar on each alliance and 3 other server was totally empty so dont compare Eso to other WoW or something, Eso have not much contents, 49.99$ for 1 trial,1 pvp mode and some quests, LOL what a fail, WoW release 5x Contents then what Eso did in the past 6 months.

PvP server... and 3 other servers? I mean, ESO have 6 main servers: PC EU, PC NA, PS EU, PS NA, XBOX EU and XBOX NA. There's PTS, but testing server doesnt count. So, you played on 4 servers and game told you "hey, servers are empty, gtfo", or what?
I could think that you meant Campagns, but:
- You cant tell accurate number of players inside. Cyrodiil, Sewers, Imperial City etc dont have player counters. BTW, never empty, there's always at least PvE players;
- For most of players, PvP is "gimme Rank 6/7 for skills and i'mma outta here". PvP isnt very popular in ESO at all, 90% of players would never been there, but... Skills;
- We got Morrowind, so not much people will be at PvP those days. We farm furnishings and stuff. Why kill each other when we can grind for moneys?
- If you dont like ESO, or Morrowind, or something, noone force you to buy it. Same with any other DLC. You dont like, you dont buy it. Whats your problem?

He is just stating facts and responding to the thread i think? he is able to give is opinion like everyone else, so im asking you what is your problem?

[quarre]

My problem is crowds of "blah-blah-blah, game is dead, i dont wanna pay 50$ for Morrowind" loosers. Yours?

[Hangman]

Game is dying and you see this because they change 3 seperate faction system for 1 BIG FACTION and this was only because there was 3 almost empty faction zones and now when everyone ( no matter what lvl or faction ) run everywhere - you think that there is MORE PPL but this is not true, just go to Cyrodil and try to find someone without SHOUTING on zone channel "where are you" or "where ppl are fighting" etc - Empty wastelands !!!!

[quarre]

"Where are you" is stupid, because: no alliance restrictions in guilds = spyes = more troubles for wild terror raids.
"Where ppl are fighting" you can check on map: any more or less big conflict is marked with cross swords on map.
Its hard to find someone because people are always in move. Even if someone "near Bruma", he can be ~5mins away because of quests.
"Empty wastelands": most of people explore Morrowind content. Like, filling addons databases for casuals. Lorebooks, Skyshards etc wont place there themself. We're busy.
"1 BIG FACTION": it was made because in past you needed to complete one alliance to get access to another to get access to third one. And each one with different levels. So you needed to go to higher-level grounds for leveling and then - return to low-level locations to complete quests are achievements? One Tamriel, one "__ck you" to "complete all 3 alliances with every character". And they wasnt "alost empty".
