== Content ==
			
So I picked up a copy at amazon and created an account and thinking maybe I should have waited until F2P started because with the initial character i made(then deleted) logged into the game and its like a graveyard.   I expected some parts to be a bit sparse but there seems like little or no population on the pve server(unless your at lvl cap i'm sure) seems I should have waited and now my 30 days will just go to waste as I see no reason to log in and play a game that has no players around to interact with.
 
I am sure with the F2P there will be a influx in the population and I am not going to play at certain times to cater to the games population either(as I read in the FAQ)  even zones seem designed not to even bring higher lvl players back to them why would in 2015 a game company design zones like this...you should always want players all over not funnel them all into certain areas at max lvl only.
 
Yeah I seem bitter it's because game seems so dead and I think I wasted my money.(which I have very little of so when i spend a dime its important)  too bad there is not a way to pause your 30 days :P
 
Anyways just had to rant a bit about my disappointment with my first time logging into the game not a good impression at all.

			Not sure why you'd expect people to be in the tutorial zones for long, even if there was content for higher levels to come back for (there is actually). My advice is to buckle down, play until 15 or so when you get to the capitol and the next leveling zone, then decide. You don't particularly need other people when you're just leveling anyway.

Are you on a PvP or PvE server? PvP servers have very low pop.
 
You wont see lots of people in the starting zone on PvE either, but there are quite a large number of players at max level in towns and level 50 zones.

Think of it as a head start to get a jump on the masses of free players who will be coming in. Now you've got a chance to familiarize yourself with the game without tripping over other players constantly.
 
Try different classes, paths, etc. 
 
EDIT: Another thing to consider, if you like lore; wildstar is LUSH with lore and its spread all throughout the game in bite-sized chunks. Once you've got a class and path you like, spend some extra time to explore and look for journals, datacubes, etc. Take the time to read quests and get a feel for why your faction and the NPCs around you are doing what they're doing. This is a powerful immersion tactic that a TON of players skip because they're either impatient or they're being dragged along by other impatient players. Even if you don't traditionally like lore, you might find yourself becoming a fan.

Look at the bright side.  By registering an account before September 29th means you'll get:
10 additional character slots
3 additional bank slots
2 additional costume slots
1000 additional decor allowed on your housing plot
You'll also get 12000 Cosmic Points, which is enough to get through the first two tiers of the Cosmic Rewards (Badlands Velocirex!).
 
Had you waited, you wouldn't be getting any of this.

			Make sure you're playing in Entity server, and get to Thayd at level 14. That's where all the people are :)

Don't worry.
 
I started a new character the other day (currently 15) and I see plenty of people kicking about.
 
You may not see many folk on the beginning ships as a lot of older players will use the option to skip it
