Key notes
The error code 200 is the most common error code that is seen on the login screen of ESO. If you’re logging in for the first time, you may be unable to reach one of the game’s mega servers. This issue can occur when the gamer tries to log in but is locked out.
The game client may be trying to connect to one of the mega servers, but your connection is not fast enough to keep up with the game’s speed. There may also be other issues that we look at in detail and explore possible solutions below.

How do I fix Error 200 in ESO?
Ensure you perform the following preliminary steps first as they could solve your issue without you having to go through the slightly technical solutions:
1. Allow the game through the firewall
2. Switch Megaservers
3. Open router/modem ports
TCP / UDP Ports 24100 through 24131TCP / UDP Ports 24300 through 24331TCP / UDP Ports 24500 through 24507TCP Port 80TCP Port 433
While some programs may use specific ports, opening up ports on your routers is an easy way for hackers to get into a network and steal sensitive data from within.
This is because anyone with access to those ports could gain access to your internal network by simply connecting directly to them. In addition, opening up additional port ranges on your router may result in some devices becoming nonfunctional or unstable.
If all else fails and the ESO error 200 has not been resolved, try using a VPN and see whether this fixes the issue.
Although ESO is not geo-restricted, using a VPN can help improve the overall performance of the game in terms of speed and connectivity. To that effect, we have an awesome recommendation ofVPNs perfect for ESO.
