Came back to the game after a long hiatus with some not so good impressions:
 
First the good. Game as addressed many issues and implemented some nice conveniences. It's fun with less exploits.
 
However, I can't get over the fact that during prime time, on the most populated NA server, there isn't a single lowbie PvP pop in the 6-14 or whatever
bracket. After hitting 20, still no pops. Last weekend was the only time I saw some matches (I rerolled a number of times).
 
Dungeons pop but usually after a long wait as well. 
 
I want to get back into the game, but given that I see plenty of players, yet experience barely any action outside of simply leveling, it makes for a completely
underwhelming experience.
 
I realize going F2P will help, but that's not happening until after summer. I'm not looking to dog the game, I'm simply finding it difficult to experience the huge
game it is, like buying a 4 course meal and only eating the appetizer. 
 
Anyways, good job Carbine on polishing the game.

I just can't stress enough how important it is (in any MMO) to create your own social structure... join or start a guild or raid team.
 
Edit: Zombie makes some goof points below!

			If you ask around you'll find plenty of guilds helping lowbies with pvp and dungeons poping or just wait until f2p hits.The low level population is like a fraction of the games pop so it's not going to have much going on for it.	
----
			As has been said, most of the people coming back now, are people who had already paid and had accounts and were just starting up again. They're playing, but not starting from 1.	
----
			
If you want to do low level dungeons, you will need to find the people manually (assuming you mind waiting hilariously long). Find a guild or join a few circles, or ask around in zone chat. Joining a guild is probably the best idea, though.
 
As for low level PvP, yeah, it basically never happens. I'd forget completely about it.

OK more for my own sanity than anything else I did a test, my daughter 5 often plays my max level chars in the low level zones, and while watching I'd seen loads of players running about! So I wanted to see how easy it was to form groups using alts and asking in chat.
 
Level 6 shiphand instant.
 
Level 10 dungeon instant.
 
Level 20 dungeon, asked in chat 3 times for this one, but within 5 minutes had a group willing to die lots.
 
Maybe it was the time I played or maybe I just got lucky?

I'm levelling a stalker at the moment (just got past level 22) and I've been able to do all the instances at the moment just by asking in zone chat.
 
I signed up for the lfg but it didn't pop even after 40 minutes (leading me to believe what it says is not true... I did manage to get a protogames academy after about 5 mins tho). But there were SO many people in the area, new to the game mostly (got a load of new recruits).
 
I also occasionally post information about the /global channel and how new people should join it if they want to ask for advice.
 
I know it must be really frustrating for new players that the lfg doesn't work as well as it should, but honestly making an active effort really works in wildstar, both low level and high. It's just getting used to that whole thing again :P
