Rumors travel fast, so I wanted to take a moment to set some of your minds at ease. Yes, we are below 250 members, and yes it's going to get increasingly more difficult to keep the members we have as it will be harder to find groups, tougher to connect with the few that still play, and even more difficult to make an impact in the world on a public level. That said, there are no plans to close the Elder Scrolls Online branch at this time.
The horizon looks bleak for new chapter potentials. Nothing is even remotely close to being ready to go live and certainly nothing available has the demand we currently have for Elder Scrolls Online. I have faith that through the fall and winter we will see those numbers climb back over the 250 mark just like it did previously. This is not the first time we dropped below 250.
We will not close the ESO chapter unless there is something else drawing more of our members attention and has cleared our rigorous evaluation process. At the soonest you're looking at late 2016 early 2017. Which means we have a whole year ahead of ourselves to see where ESO goes.
I am confident that my eldership team, commanders, and community that has brought ESO alive will keep this going for the next year. Yes, the game is struggling, but the community is tight knit and there is more kindness floating around our ESO chapter than any group i've ever had the pleasure of being a part of.
There is no reason to close this chapter just yet, and I will not act too hastily when I know outright regardless of what game we play, the months of May - September always go down in population. Pulling the cord now would be premature and unfair to the people who had to stop playing over the summer. We will do what we can to keep this ball rolling forward for as long as the audience wants us to.
I believe we will see a rise in population come October. As people return from their summer vacations and kids go back to school our rooms will fill once again. There's no need to panic just yet :).
