in Guild Wars 2
I usually log in an hour or so in the morning, and then again perhaps in the evening. I'm not sure if it's because the Cities and Zones are so big but I haven't exactly been swamped in PC interaction. Compared to TERA which I played most recently where when you went out and about you'd see loads of people just questing and going about their business. Guild Wars 2 feels so empty by comparison. I'm putting my money on it being the vastness of it all, but still - it would be nice to see more than two or three players every Hour....
After all, this is MASSIVELY MULTIPLAYER ONLINE gaming... Ahem.

Death is nothing to us, since when we are, Death has not come, and when death has come, we are not.
Erhm... So far I haven't seen any Wookies. Although some Charr come close.
Human and Charr areas have plenty of people (1-15 zones) so no, alts are still plenty.
DR (Human City) doesn't have an overflow anymore for me though, Lion's Arch does.
Granted, I play on HoD, possibly the most populated server; see people everywhere.
I'm also in a 200+ guild, so that may contribute to it as well.
Basicly this.

LOL true they are kinda furry.
The game is big, but I'm still going to back-end areas and finding people everywhere. I'm not sure how the population is on EU servers but it has to be the same if not more heavily poplated than the NA. /shrug
Have fun no matter what!

Seriously? I'm a huge fan of GW2 but Borderlands2 just hit.
Now, I have a date with a man named Handsome Jack and bein' a gentleman an all, it's best not to be late. See y'all in a few days.
There is NO miracle patch.
95% of what you see in beta won't change by launch.
Hope is not a stategy.

I was gonna ask are you on US server or EU server but you answered my question. On the US server there are TONS of people.
I've looked at the EU servers and if I have to pick one go to then I'll go with Piken Square. It's the unofficial RP server but it's full and most of the time the community is nicer.
Since it's free to transfer servers, why not transfer to different ones and see for yourself? It sure wouldn't hurt or cost your anything or lose any XP.
Yak's Bend has a ton of people everywhere I go, and they'll show up when events happen.
Hmm, I have not played for more than 15 minutes without seeing another player, even in a random cave where there are no indications to go.
Do you play asura or charr? These are the two least played races. + if you fell behind on leveling it might be the reason. I dont know how populated your server is.
I angered the clerk in a clothing shop today. She asked me what size I was and I said actual, because I am not to scale. I like vending machines 'cause snacks are better when they fall. If I buy a candy bar at a store, oftentimes, I will drop it... so that it achieves its maximum flavor potential. --Mitch Hedberg
To bash on GW2 a bit (or to bring up truth) many people probably just quit playing (no monthly to make them feel the need to 'dedicate' to trying to make it worth) so that dropped numbers a bit. New games coming out helped to lower this a bit further as well which should act as more temporary measures against it.
Still, there are people around just they won't be in the drones that launch had around. Many who do play are probably in WvW, PvP, or farming the high level areas. Its not THAT vast (though no mounts does help to create that illusion) but for the most part your probably not looking in the right places. If your expecting launch numbers a month after, you got some crazy expectations even if this game was all the hype brought it up to be (which its not).
Same server. the zones between 15-65 are completely empty especially on off hours. I'm playing a single player game at the moment. Hope they implement the guest feature so I can exp on a high/full server.
why not just transfer? they are still free once a day

I just looked and the servers were 9 full, 12 High, and 3 medium at about 9:00pm pst.
This was recorded a few hours ago on Sanctum of Rall NA, one of the high population servers. This is very common to see everywhere in the game.
I'm still not getting where you are playing OP, everywhere I go are many folks playing.

Everything you need to know about Elder Scrolls Online
Playing: GW2

Best MMO of all time: Asheron's Call - The first company to recreate AC will be the next greatest MMO.
maybe its because of the time you log in in relation to the server time or something.... I can say the exact opposite here. I see tons of people when i play for some hours a day in GW2 everywhere (from lvl 1 to 65 zones which is the highest ive reached so far). Im not playing TERA anymore but i only saw many people in Tera during betas and the first few weeks after launch during my first 30 days. Enmasse is merging servers due to population decline (if they did already then that could explain your comment on TERA)
