I got on Jabbit. I got a question. Where is everyone?
Hard to get back into the game if no one is around...
 
What I'm concerned about is:
Will they change stylist? In customization trailer we were shown something that seemed actually usable. Right now it's a horribly inuintive interface with absurd costs (3g to dye one part of my faceplate honey yellow).
 
So far DCU has the best stylist. Any gear you equip is saved in an archive and you can shift and change your outfits anytime out of combat at no cost.
 
Also most important.
When is Exit button actually gonna become Exit?
It takes me to character screen. But above it, there's a "Change character" button.
I know the game is hardcore, but I don't really need two "Change character" buttons.

Welcome back! I just returned as well and have been around about 2 weeks now. I'm on Entity and I know what you mean, it can be a little quiet. But at least on my server once I got to Whitevale I started to see a lot more people. That's when the two factions converge into one zone. Otherwise most players are 50. I don't know what level you are, but that might make a difference. 
 
Basically it's a top heavy population at the moment but I think that's changing as there appear to be more and more people returning as well as new people trying out the game. 
 
As for the customization cost, it seems high to me as well but that's only because I'm still so low level. Gold accumulation is much easier at 50 from what I hear. DCU may do things differently but a lot of other MMOs have a cost for customization. It's actually beneficial for games to have gold sinks like this, it prevents economies from becoming inflated which is vital for keeping the resource gap between new and old players from growing exponentially. 
 
As for the Exit button, that surprised me too. But it's not exactly game breaking. I'm not sure where on the forums Carbine prefers to have suggestions posted but if it really bothers you I would look into that and post your concern.

I was level fiddy. 
The comment about where is everyone was to capital cities. I remember CX and Banks and PvP vendors were swarming before, now I'm lucky to see a dozen players.
 
The reason the exit button bothers me is how obviously, glaring, simple the issue is. Kinda like name plates. 
I want to love WS and Carabine. But can I trust people who can't fix something as simple as an exit button and nameplates, or the fact that forums kicks me out all the time since day one....
 
I still wanna play the game, the story and quests and landscape is amazing. But I can't recommend the game to my friends without feeling bad because small issues get ignored.

If you're on Jabbit and you playing between 9am and 5pm the server is going to be dead. A lot of people forgot that thi is when everyone is at school/Uni/Work.
 
You just have to look at the forums to see a few people are starting to come back. I've seen 3 or more folk returning on a weekly basis for a fair few weeks now. Granted that isnt a lot in the bigger picture, but it's a start

If you left in the month or two after launch, the game's population seems low to you because it started losing subs quite rapidly in the period between Sabotage and Drop 3. How many of these players will be back with Drop 4 remains an open question.
 
As for the small issues, they tend to be the last things to get fixed because the big issues take priority. But there have been quite a large number of improvements, and we'll see several more when Drop 4 comes out.

			Just came back as well, and I think I saw four people in my three hour session. Not good. I'm actually surprised they haven't transferred to a F2P model by now, as surely they aren't making enough money to stick with the subscription model, not with these numbers. Such a shame, the game had so much promise before launch, what the hell happened?	
----
			I can't agree more about the customization.Why dying things requires paying?This setting is completely absurd.One of the game's feature is customization.And the customization's paying setting pulling people from customizing.So Carbine please allow me to ask for your philosophy behind....
