Elder Scrolls Online's Longest-Running Issue Is The Target Of A New Play Test, But It's Just A First Step
Briefly

When The Elder Scrolls Online launched in 2014, Cyrodiil's large-scale PvP was a standout feature, praised for its epic battles. However, as time passed, substantial server performance issues emerged, making gameplay laggy and frustrating. In response, ZeniMax Online has introduced Cyrodiil Champions, an experimental test mode from March 24-31, 2025, that simplifies class abilities to investigate server problems. By isolating gameplay mechanics, the developers aim to determine if the complexity of player interactions is responsible for performance issues rather than inherent coding flaws. This experimental phase seeks to restore Cyrodiil to its former glory.
The number one goal for this test is to prove once and for all some of the core issues behind Cyrodiil's performance problems.
ZeniMax Online is hoping that simplifying class abilities in Cyrodiil Champions will help identify and alleviate the frustrating server performance issues.
Cyrodiil's large-scale PvP battles were praised at launch in 2014 but have been hindered over time by server performance problems.
Despite numerous attempts to fix the situation, playing Cyrodiil has become a frustrating experience due to lag and poor frame rates.
