Nearly a decade since its initial release, Elder Scrolls Online remains one of the most popular MMORPGs to this day. With frequent updates, the vast world of Tamriel continues to expand with new regions and chapters added every year.
As a result, those looking to try out the game for the first time or get into the MMO genre are curious about the quality-of-life features it has to offer.
The MMORPG is indeed one of the more accessible titles out there, and although it’s not free to play, many in the community are of the opinion that the game is worth every penny.
Along with the quality-of-life features, new players are also curious about server health and just how many players log in daily. As of writing this article, according to Activeplayer.io, Elder Scrolls Online has enjoyed an active base of 5,050,216 players in the last 30 days.
