    And here I was, hoping they're giving 10 million away for logging in.

    Where did that poor guy (I forget his name) that got so much shit for predicting that ESO would reach 10 million? Mind you, he thought they'd do that in a year. It took longer but he wasn't wrong in the end.

    I tried so hard several times to get into this game. Can't put my finger on it because I love TES and I love MMO's.

    I read that part but found it hard to trust marketing.  A lot of people were creating extra accounts just for inventory management.

    So from the day they released the game, they have had "...10 million unique players..." I believe that. Wish they would tell us how many are playing for each server. With the lag this game has I would be interested how many players they have playing at one time. If not a lot then the lag would really tell us a story!

    I know the addons we use really can cause the game to play slow with lag. If you take all addons out, the game will run 10 times better. You guys should try it without addons, like playing a different game.

    Did a lot of people really create extra accounts?
    I thought you had to buy ESO to play it?
    Why would you buy the game again, to make mule alts, when you can just create your own guild and get free storage space?

    Well I have 3 accounts paid top dollar for first one, and at the start that was a real rip off. So many bugs, bots, etc! The other two I paid 8 bucks for imperial, 12 for gold edition. Right now I can get Morrowind for 18 bucks day one release. Holding off on that, don't believe it's worth 18 at this time.

    Wait wait, wasn't there some kind of free play weekend or something earlier this year or around last year? I think it was around the time of that 1million dollar give away thing where you had a chance to win simply by logging in.

    Why are people trying so hard to downplay this?  It really comes across as desperation.

    FFXIV hasn't gone free to play though. For a sub only b2p game FFXIV is doing amazingly well, especially considering numbers that are still rising.

    Boredom. They hope to fill their emptyness by making fun of other people, games and things. :(

    For FFIV they admitted it included free trial accounts.

    I have 4 unique characters 2 on PC 2 on PS4 I played less than a week and uninstalled. I bet there's many others like me that just don't find this game to their liking and them calling 10million number right after FFXIV did the same sounds so desperate and low.

    This is old news, I wonder why did they publish this information so late? Is it because unique players number is not the same as the number of copies sold?

    Either way, ZOS already announced 10mil copies sold in June this year during E3 presentation.

    Compared to FFXIV's 7mil REGISTERED accounts, and GW2's 5-6mil copies sold, that's FAR more impressive. Factor also in the fact that both FFXIV and GW2 have been out for much longer. We're talking about easily the 2nd best-selling MMORPG of all time.

    If I make two separate accounts, there's two unique players!



    Call me when they say how many people have actually logged into the game itself in the last six months then we'll talk.



    That isn't what unique means.

    This isn't what unique means either.

    You are very wrong :)

    Just check SteamSpy. ESO had 125k players in the last 2 weeks on Steam alone. A "platform" with such a tiny percentage of ESO's entire playerbase. Besides there hasn't been a worthwhile DLC since Q1 of the year (and obviously expansion in Q2), that number can only go up.

    Also ESO is much bigger on Consoles than on PC. I have no doubt that ESO can easily maintain over 1mil active monthly players in between updates, and obviously several millions during expansions.

    This game is still so far from it's peak it's ridiculous. They added 3mil of new players just from June 2016-17, if that's not a crazy growth then I don't what is. And they even achieved all of that without adding anything new to Skyrim.

    He was talking 10M subscribers of course.

    The (previously announced) 10M sales (+ sales of DLC, optional subs etc.) is still good news though and means that development will continue. "Skyrim" (most of which isn't in game) is sure be to added at some point which should boost numbers further.

    Oh yeah you're right. That was back in the sub-only days that he said it.

    It's still + 1.5 mil since their previous announcement in February.  http://www.mmorpg.com/elder-scrolls-online/news/matt-firor-85-million-eso-players-right-now-based-on-sales-1000043197

    It is getting to be pathetic.The TEAM wants to hear your stories,nice press stuff,i am guessing "not a mind reader"that 99% of that team couldn't care less about your stories.
    Not that it matters really,as long as players are having fun and they have THEIR own stories and not just following some vee line path from npc to npc and doing linear fetch me quests then all should be good.
    I feel TESo is an ok game ,just wish they never stoop to Blizzard like standards but perhaps this is a onesy,we might not see this from Zenimax for a long time into the future...fingers crossed.

    Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
