So, I just started playing because I'm now a refugee from Archeage and I'm just wondering if this game is dead and/or worth stick around for. I'm around level 10 and I haven't seen any other players in hours. I've also been queued for pvp for hours and nothing. I realize I'm low level and that is surely the problem, but I'm not seeing much twitch activity and most of the hardcore mmo players I know are dismissive at this point.

A lot of players are waiting for Drop 4 to come back. If you are playing on NA servers make sure you are on Entity(PvE). Yes we could use more players but in prime time theres a lot of players. I am able to do all world events and dungeons or adventures when i want to.
 
And everyone is level 50, you wont see a lot of players while leveling, but theres a lot of new players recently thats good news!!
 
Have fun and welcome to the Nexus!

			At your level there are very few players around on the weekday. Most everyone is at 50 and doing dailies and running raids at this point.

we pray...
 
because the game is worth it.
because it was torn apart due to amateurish (not to say downright stupid) design decisions.
 
join us in the prayer.
 
eventually your wish might be granted... but probably not until lvl 50.

The game isn't dead. It's just mostly everyone is level 50 and very few are running alts. I'm sure, once you get to Thayd/Illium (depending on your faction), you will see a lot more players. Finding a guild would do you good too.
 
Welcome to Nexus and enjoy the game! :)

			Try playing a bit tonight & this weekend.  By now everyone's hit EG cap, and will probably be leveling alts like mad.

yeah. give a reason for the "hardcores" to play the content a second time..
 
or ... 
 
NO.
 
there is no reason unless you enjoyed the questing (lol).
 
so yeah. get to 50 quick (its a pain, but you can do it!) and play the damn real game mate :)

			pvp queues are dead until 50.  From there it's about 2 days of dying your way to blues (during prime time).

			i'm playing it for 2 days, and seens fine by me.

If they were leveling alts like mad, then new players would see alts as they're leveling. This game pretty heavily disincentivizes alting, as has come up on these forums several times.

I've seen my fair share of folks leveling both Exile and Dominion side on Entity during weekends.  Just because you don't see it doesn't mean it's not happening.

Forums being what they are, just because you say it doesn't mean it is happening, either.
 
The OP seems to disagree with your assessment of all those leveling Exiles and Dommies, as do OPs of several threads over the last few weeks. And as someone on Entity who makes and plays alts no matter how much the game discourages them, I also disagree with your assessment. There are very few people in the leveling zones--not nearly enough of them to make the leveling zones seem like anything other than vast empty wastelands to anybody new who comes in.
 
This is not a good thing for retaining new players, who show up, see a game full of dead zones, and leave again.
 
Hopefully Drop 4 will pick things up a bit, and hopefully it will do a better job of retaining players than Drop 3 did.

			I just returned after a long hiatus and currently leveling in algaroc. I've been pleasantly surprised at the amount of players I've seen. I don't know if they are alts or new players but it was better than I expected. I also made a quick visit to Thayd and the place was pretty busy. This is just my first day return observation so means very little in the scope of things but if I was a brand new player to the game, my impression would be a positive one  :)

			I started a guild on Warhound and I have invited about 60 players (most of them new) to my guild in less than a week. I think the game has a lot of new people coming into it. I'm doing my best to direct them to Entity if they mainly want to PvE or stick around on Warhound if they mainly want to PvP.

			Game's not dead at all. I was up till almost 4 am playing with a load of people.

I was playing yesterday level 22-25 and ran into about 5 people. So there are people out there. Is the game humming along with a lot of people rolling alts and keeping the lower zones full not really. I don't think this game is dead and like many other I hope drop 4 brings a few people back if it keeps going this way there won't be to many people left. Part of the problem is leveling 1-50 can only really be done one way right now unless you and four friends want to do it together. Then at 50 you get hit in the face again by attunement, which isn't friendly for making alts. 
 
If they don't drop attunement they need to at least change it to something less than it is. Maybe drop the world bosses and just make it adventure and dungeons.

			No the games not dead! I see people in the start zones I even help people in the start zones. What it is a lot just run tour to get to 50. So there are no q because its easier to wait to 50 to do that stuff and in the start areas if u don't ask to group up most like u will not see any one. Also there are people that will help the game picks up more when u hit 15 u start to see more people.

WS definitely isn't dead.
I just got invited into a guild when I was in the first leveling zone.
There are lots of people in the capital cities, Thayd or Illium.
I met someone quite often during questing.
Probably time zone issue coz I'm playing on NA server and I'm in GMT+8 zone currently.
