I love the game. I love the combat style. I love the idea of a long attunement and 20/40 man raids. I love the idea of raiding being somewhat exclusive to people who put in the time and effort again.
 
However, the game feels empty/dead to me. I'm level 30, and I'm lucky to see more than 2 people talking in zone chat over 4-5 hours of play. I really can't imagine that I'll go from 49 chat, to 50, and suddenly the game becomes a bustling city of players. I'm on Stormtalon, supposedly one of the bigger servers, so I can't imagine what the other servers are like..

			On my server levelling zone chat is pretty quite too, even upon release there wasn't much chatter. But people are there, i think the community just prefers to talk in guild/circles, unless needing help with something in the zone.

Opening day, servers were packed. More servers were added. Now people have done their free time, and have decided to stay or not. 
Also what side you play on.
I play dominion (I like the Draken race a lot), and zones can be empty with Dominions, but plenty of Exiles.
 
I'm not saying merge servers but maybe at the same time to do so. Or Carbine could maybe do a graph to show what time zone is the most popular with each server. I know they are against this, but a large percent of my guild seems to be EST, then PST. Not many CST. So I have to "take a shot" and log in when I think people might be on, and not started events...

On my server Thayd is empty, the AH (that used to have 40-50 ppl stood around) has 3-4 at peak times.
 
The daily zones are deserted, i said in another thread that i went to make a drink and left my toon afk to find him still alive... well it gets worse, i can leave my toon afk near a dommie hub and never see anyone for 30min.
The game is totaly dead, im rolling a new toon on the EU fullest server today to see if the problem is with my server or all of them.

			Yea I hear Pergo (sp), the PvP realm, is packed with people. I do not like being forced into PvP. Sad that there isn't a PvE realm that is packed, as I would consider paying $20 if I knew my chances of finding more people to play with doubled/tripled.

			In all the games i've played that seems pretty normal.  Lot of people in starter zones, lot of people in the zones right after the starter zone, not a lot of people in the mid-level zones, lot of people in the level cap and daily zones.

Same here. I'm on Hazak, which is the most populated realm in Europe but even here zones like Farside are completely devoid of any players even at prime time.
 
I love the game, but empty zones/servers so early after launch is rather worrying.

Evindra has a pretty good population. In Thayd as well as in leveling zones (I haven't checked the Dominion side).

in 6 years of playing WoW, i can safely say that there were always some maps that were empty for most of the time, except when a new race or class or expac was introduced.
 
sometimes it was a time of day occurrence, ... that whole "a butterfly flapping its wings in the amazon, causing storms over Toyko." shizzle.
 
(US) Myrcalus [oceanic] server, low pop status mostly but always someone around, and thayd still has peeps wandering around during offpeak.

			I'm having the same issue on Ascendancy, Dom side, so yesterday I just dropped back to the starter zone Ellevar (there's always people asking for help with Hail the Queen and the bounties,etc) and I started a social circle and invite anyone I help to join. It's not as effective as being in an active guild, but having the constant chat going makes things feel like much less of a drag

dommie side is in a slow death spiral as people slowly move to exile side because dommie side is dead. Its a self-feeding loop.

I play Exile on Mikros. In my guild only 2 of us have logged in in the last 4 days. Thayd is pretty empty compared to a few weeks ago during weekday evenings PST. Mikros has a couple of raiding guilds Exile side that seem to be doing ok,
 
Yay static dailes.
Yay unrewarding instances.
