I went ahead and began to re-level from scratch and there were just no players. I don't really care about the why's of it. It was just the reality of the situation. I would like to make a suggestion to the community that may help a bit, if you are interested. I understand there will be folks who say " Well screw you if you can't stay with the game and level by yourself to 50" and that is a valid attitude I guess, but there will be people who come to an mmo for the group aspect , and those are the ones I think that maybe you should address.
 
Perhaps some of the more social guilds might want to spend a little time in the lower level zones, recruiting folks , or at least helping them a bit from time to time. I do not expect the hardcore raiders to care , or spend time doing this, as it is just not productive enough use of their time, but there have got to be guilds that lean more toward the community aspect of the game, and this might be an area where they can help out with keeping folks in the game.
 
I understand that everyone's time is precious, and new players are the last thing you would probably want to spend any of your limited in-game time on, but I think that it would be a small step forward in addressing the health of the game at this juncture of it's development. Community can make a difference , if they want to.
 
Have fun everyone , and thank you for reading.

			What server are you on? :D There are some that are jam packed and some are semi empty. I run a casual guild on Luminai exiles (an empty empty server) and do recruit all levels, including on low level zones. I do believe that other casual guilds have been already doing that for a while. We're not however able to be online 24/7 so the time that you play also goes into question.

I can only speak for myself, but if any Dominion players on Entity starting over want any help or company even I'm very happy to help anytime I can. I think I can also safely say that quite a few skullkickers are happy to do so as well if they can. 
 
I see a few guilds doing what you ask randomly and I recently rerolled my warrior and helped out people here and there as well, either with my leveling character or my 50 if needed. Best thing I can say is to try and find a guild that is open to all levels and willing to help if they can, but I know that's a task in and of itself.
 
As Mirta also mentioned the play time is also a significant factor as well.

I'm more than happy to help out new players if they need it. I helped out a couple of lower level players defeat Rare and Prime enemies in Celestion (going back and kicking the sorry c*** out of Celestion enemies at Lv40 is rather satisfying to me) when I went back to complete the areas. After my Aurin hits 50, I'll be going back to lower level zones to find the remaining Rares, and lore that I need and, if I come across any struggling players, I'll happily help them out.
 
I think time is a big factor in player activity. I usually play at stupid-o'clock in the morning (12am-3am mostly), and the servers always seem bustling with other players. When I was playing at 4pm today, the PvE server felt rather empty and it's the more populated of the servers. The PvP server was busier than normal at 4pm however, but became less so as time went by. This is for the EU servers though, not sure if the situation is the same on US servers.

I don't think I've ever played any MMO that had over-populated lowbie zones. Some people focus on getting to max level as quickly as possible, others stick only to their select groups, and even fewer linger around a level long enough to complete the "group" content for that level/zone. It's the nature of the beast really.

yeah, I'm one of the few that log in on Thursday and Friday mornings (free days, yay!), but at around 11-12 daytime there's normally a daily train running from Malgrave to Blighthaven. Which is weird. I also noticed that people go to sleep early. So yeah, this MMO peaks at different times than what you would expect lol.
