			Haters will always hate! but wildstar is singing  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LODkVkpaVQA	
----
			its good to see new players everyday, plz in entity  promote lfg channel so new players can find people to do dungeons and after the first one the will stay... they always stay (maniac mordesh laugh)	
----
			
Hopefully sticking shiphands and protogames academy in the group finder will help them feel more comfy about grouping early in the game (drop 4)  	
----
			Yeah, we're getting a nice trickle of people back to see the changes (including me). If PvP makes a comeback, I imagine we'll see a nice lil boom. No chua pun intended.	
----
			
Yes, yesss more conscripts for the glorious legions of the DOMINI-!
 
..er, that is, I mean yay new players. Yayyy
 
>.>
 
<.<

			I logged in last night to a chorus of hellos in guild chat and a flood of whispers.  That makes me happy! :D  Not only that people are coming back, but they're being sociable!  This game's always more fun with friends.

			I'm not seeing a real grow with the EU though :/

			 /hug anvh, much better times will come sweet pie

			My anecdotal experience in game suggests otherwise.

Everyone coming onboard are a fraction of the former players wanting to see drop 4.
Give it a week or so after the drop, population will correct itself.

god has nothing to do with Objective universe, and the "population will correct itself" is not a good thing.
----
			
yes, it is growing. many players are retuing too like myself. I have always loved the game and hoped it would pick up so i stayed subbed even though i didnt play. ( i paid for a year in advance ) right before i quit because i want to see the game go far :).
 
I rerolled a toon and leveled on Exile and i am seeing new players everywhere. every dungeon i did while leveling it was new players that had to be taught the fights, was nice.	
----
			Started a new toon last night, actually saw 2, 3 other people in the tutorial area.	
----
			
Maybe it's a time thing, because on Jabbit EU, I've seen a good number of chars in the low level zones, plus a good number of max players in the daily zones! I don't city stand that much so really can't comment on that.

I'm glad to see people coming back to check it out again, that's great. It means they're willing to give the game another look and see if things are better. If they didn't, that would mean we're dead in the water.
But that doesn't mean that they're going to like the state of things once Drop 4 is live and stay, which is just as important.
And we won't really have an answer to that until the dust settles on Drop 4.
 
I'm pretty sure that's the point Shah was referring to, that a week after Drop 4 comes out the population will correct itself from the transient spike in population that always immediately precedes and follows the release of any new content in a game. It's not about "solving a problem", it's about recognizing that the short-term boost from new content won't translate into a long-term increase in population unless the new content successfully addresses the reasons why people left.
 
And we won't know whether it really does that until Drop 4 actually goes live. I'll keep my fingers crossed, but I think the victory celebration is a bit premature.

Hi Rope,
 
Just curious as to where you got the information from that states the population is growing. From my anecdotal evidence we have been bleeding more than we have gained. As I am completely out of false enthusiasm some proof would be welcome....
 
Oh...to add to what Yasfan said. We will have to wait a month to get an idea of what things will be like after the drop spike in population. Hopefully if will spur a influx of new, not returning players who become invested in the game.

I hope so but I don't think the ship will be corrected until it goes F2P or B2P. 
----
			I am new but I actually saw people in the world while leveling! It felt nice! We even did group quests together!

Hey guys, just started up a few days ago. Actually about a week or so, but didn't log on for a couple of those days... The game seems kinda dead to me. In all of my playing, a whopping level 15 (exile, Warhound) and i've seen a grand total of two people. One low level with me in the tutorial-esque area in the northern wilds and one much higer level character in what i assume is our capitol city who was quick to issue a duel (that i didn't even know i accepted) and one shot me. Yay!
 
But aside from that i haven't even seen anyone say anything in chat, which is slightly worrying. The main city is empty, i've been through the northern wilds, the hilly zone with the eldan excavation site, and now i'm just on my way to the next zone and am yet to even see my chat log give evidence to another living soul.
 
Is this game going to be single player until i hit max level? I joined a pvp server because world pvp is pretty much the reason i have fun in MMO's. WoW destroyed it with flying mounts, and so far it seems this game is devoid of players. I don't expect to see legions of enemy players in the starter zones, don't get me wrong, but the lack of any players is what is worrying me. Did i just set fire to fourty bucks?

If you're in it for open world PvP? I'm afraid yes.
 
Shit happened and as a result the two PvP servers are pretty much dead. Warhound is doing a bit better than Luminai, but it's still in a pretty bad state. My advice is to transfer to the PvE server. Yes you won't get much open world PvP, but the PvE is definitely worth giving a shot in Wildstar. You can always transfer back for free at a later point in time if the population on the PvP servers somehow comes back.

While instanced PvP provides a way to even stats a little, open world do not provide anything at all.
 
GW2 style level reduction in zones could be a nice fix for that. While high level players will have better stats due to gear, it will not be: I'm a 50, and a god to you Mr. 25 looser.
 
And what I'm asking is not only viable. They already implemented that in the adventures & dungeons. If you are level 25 and enter a level 20 dungeon, you get down-level to 20.

			Now can you all please leave again, you made picking up quest items a real pain today in the badlamds
