EU.

[Janmarqu Chato]

US for sure, always tons of ppl online, day and night, 24/7/365.25

[THE END]

US

[The Presence]

ZOS has made a statement[forums.elderscrollsonline.com] on this 3 years ago. I doubt it has changed, to be honest.

But the other guy said EU

[marstinson]

The ratio was about 51:49 (EU to NA) for PC a couple of years back. But even those were spitball guesses since ZOS doesn't often (ever?) release any hard numbers. I don't suppose it matters much since players are instanced into smaller chunks within servers.

I highly think its EU.

First because of the linked comment from a ZOS employee who already said that EU is bigger.

Second because US Servers are located in USA, sure a big country but considering the population per area its relatively low populated and there are only few countries around USA which are partly even less populated (canada). Oceanian countries and south american countries might also add to the population but I think they wont make a big chunk because no matter what, the connection / ping / lag will be horrible for them and many might choose to play other games than ESO.

EU on the other side has plenty of densely populated countries of similar wealth and people with similar interest for computer games, like for example germany which alone has a population that is almost as big as 1/3 of usa plus there are other similar countries like england, france, spain, poland, italy, switzerland and many more. The total EU population is about 1/4 bigger than usa plus there are plenty other countries around the EU, like russia which might primarily play on the EU servers or people from african countries (I even have met a few times some ingame).

Third on the EU servers you usually see also tons of people online and literally at any time.

So it’s the EU. Well if they could all stop hanging out in Alik'r Desert when it’s late at night then that would be great.

Very few people from Australia still play this game. We have moved to WoW and FFXIV because they have Australian servers.
