Im Lvl 31 - Widow PvP
 
I cant do any group quests, I've only seen 5-6 Dom guys (I'm exile) noone talks in trade chat - I play horde tichondrius so Im use to lots of activity but still - what server is everyone on? 	
----
			Shhhh, we're hiding from Threephase .. er .. I mean ... look, over there *runs*.	
----
			
I've tried to stay out of these threads, but I have the same thought, at least on the Dominion.
 
Evindra and Orias are sparse for me. I'd reroll if I new what PvE server had a strong Dominion population.

Barthilas, Frostmourne, Tichondrius all my servers are pumping with players... Horde side mostly... always have been. But that is bound to happen when the game has 10 years and those servers have had years to form a solid player base..
 
x realms were brought in so blizzard didn't have to do server merges..they acknowledged that certain servers had population issues and rather then kneejerking like they used to do they actually tried to come up with a better solution that would happen across all servers..
 
It works fine for the most part..
 
 
Always someone throwing sticks at WoW.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
sure but how many people would you see levelling were there no xrealm zones, especially now you can boost a char to 90, *cupcake*ing none , qq more about sticks :P
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
qq moar about being sad and lonely while leveling..do you need me to hold your hand while you go kill that boar over there..
 
It's not about the stick just the person throwing it..
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
your off the mark and a bit of a dumb *cupcake* tbh, I'm not the *cupcake*ing op who IS asking where ppl are, heres another stick, THWACK

I'm Dom on Orias and Exile on Mikros.
 
I play late at night ( for now ), and I always end up getting to do group quests when I feel like doing them.  Which to be honest isn't all that much.  My trick that works for me is that I just plan on skipping all the group quests unless I see someone else asking about needing help and then I volunteer to help.
 
After 13+ years of MMORPGS and PvPing and Raiding, etc., for me the change of pace of just leveling toons is fine.  TBH, If I like the game I am sure I can convince people I know irl and from the "game'verse" to give it a try and then groups on demand.
 
So if you like the game a lot, make sure you tell your friends about it!  Kinda solves the grouping problem.  In the mean time just skip the content until you see someone else needing the same quest.
 
Again while I agree that Orias and Mikros are kinda dead "late at night" I still see plenty of people to interact with.
 
*shrug*	
----
			If you are playing late at night you might as well play on the oceanic server where most of us will be up.	
----
			
A good reason for leaving an MMO is that 'empty' feeling they can sometimes have if they have low server populations or you play at odd hours.
 
It might be a good idea if the next MMOs that are released, develop some sort of cross realm zone feature, similiar to WoW before they go live.

I play on Orias, and atm can play throughout the day. What is peak hours, and where is every one? I ask in /z in Illium and zone w/ quest for 5-mans, place is empty when it comes to Dominion side.
 I hear Stormtalon has a decent population on both sides.
 
 
If Draken where on Exiles, I'd be an Exile.
 
 
I logged off just a bit ago, but wanted to see what servers looked like: All of them are LOW except 3. Stormtalon (PvE), Pergo (sp) (PvP), and a RP realm.
----

Evindra Exile's pretty packed. Evindra Dominion, however... well we need some love.

It can be a little dead at certain levles on certain realms, unfortunately.
 
If they are 2 man group quests, however, they are soloable! And very fun to solo at that :). Dont know if there are larget group quests than that, not seen any at my level.

Same problem...same server....level 32 dominion on Widow....ghost town and I am annoyed cause now I have to skip numerous quests after waiting around spamming zone chat for 2 hours. I have to say this experience has really made me question my resolve to even bother trying to continue to 50 as I have a feeling it might be a waste of time by the look of things.

You know, there are ways of posting without being a muppet.
 
I know this is hard to grasp and involves thinking but come on little fella, you can do it.

While there have been a reduction in overall population (no full servers lately).  You can't measure in this game population by just looking at main town.  People already have high level chars and alts, and like me, probably there is a big group that log to their mains, do the dailies, tele to home, log out and change char, leave their homes (XP) to the quest zones, start questing, and when done, head back to home.
 
Unless you need something from the AH, there is no need to head to the capital.  You can even have a crafting station in your home.	
----
			
Yes, seriously what is going on here? haven't this game been out for a just couple of months? Is the game already dying?
I bought this game today, so I log on and see that the server population on all the servers are low, so I just chose a random PvE server (Archon)
Now I'm just running around in the first areas by myself in whats basically a wasteland (I think I've seen like 5 other players all in all) I'm really starting to regret my decision in buying this game.

About the group content like quests and the big 40 men raids, that was always the discussion about if the direction of this game was the correct one, when Blizzard after extensive community study decided to leave that trend, and went for the casual player.
 
The reality, after the boom of a launch, later you will find the zones empty because people already leveled and you will miss a lot of content and rewards.  That why WoW removed nearly all group quests from Azeroth, and now grant blue rewards for chain completion, instead of a group quest completion.
 
I guess over time devs will remake the quest system to overcome that issue, just like Bliz did.  But don't expect that in a month or two btw, because it takes time.

In celebration of this thread, here's one amazing tune by Pink Floyd:
 
 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNLhxKpfCnA	
----
			
I was in WoW around October last year, and started on a new server due to an account hack, and while it was a high population server, you notice the low amount of people actually in the world questing.   And that was before the population got hit due to lack of new content.
 
SWTOR has something similar.  While their F2P attracts new players everytime, many group quests cannot be done because their rewards are artifact quality items, which by default are not usable by F2P players.  Since players cannot use them, they don't care for those quests.
 
Again is pretty common for this to happen on MMOs.  Not the same right at launch boom, where are a million or 2 spread through all servers leveling at the same time and world feels full, than later where either people are out permanently, out temporarily, on end game doing dailies, or leveling.

They need to cut 2-4 of the pve servers, I think that would solve alot of low population problems. Just roll a bunch of them together and keep the other servers on standby until you need them.
 
PS: Thank you forum mods for being responsible and not mass deleting threads. It is refreshing to see game forums that allow people to be uncensored about issues.

Despite Carbines continued attempts to suck all joy and enjoyment out of playing the game with the recent patches, there are still some people playing on certain servers.
 
So its not dead. Yet.	
----
			Playing on Evindra Dominion side, very hard to get groups going for quests ever since I arrived on Farside and does not look any better in Wilderrun. It seemed pretty populated in Auroria and Whitevale though. I have seen a lot of Exiles at least.

Evindra Dominion is dead. You were told that. Who rolls on an empty server?

Yeah we do out number you guys really badly, it seems Dominion Players were the first to drop the game, All we can do is community build for the server though. The server community is strong we just gotta get both sides equally as awesome and built up.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
At base level I'm just frustrated that Carbine went with a two-faction system. This would be a non-issue if it were just single faction.
But yeah, agreed. All we can hope is that the great Exile community can attract enough people to the server that Dominion will start to fill out a little.
----
			With the #hardcore Elder Gem system, it's almost suicide to re-roll at this point. To be a couple months behind peers is not something I'm itching to do just to help balance out populations.

Thunderfoot Exile looking ok, now if I could find a few other Dominion during prime time...	
----
			Have to say Wetpaw that pretty low usually 80 people or so during primetime on scorch on stormtalon.	
----
			Wish the devs would just show us wildstars population and where everyone is over 1000 forum posts about low pop but still no answer i guess the phrase 'the devs are listening' is true that they are listening just not responding

I've been bouncing between FF:ARR and *gasp* Firefall. Anywhere but Nexus. Tomorrow the 30 day countdown is official! I'll probably cap in those 2 and do some non MMORPG gaming. It will be awhile before I try another MMORPG for serious. This was the best shot. It was the same as the others but mechanicly different in a great way. Unfortunately, their ideas do not line up with the current playerbase.
 
No telling when something that actually has all the pieces and the right Philosophy will appear again. EQN is already off my waitlist. It's being designed with consoles in mind(but Balf you play ARR! That is what lead to that decision. I can see areas where ARR is being held back on the technical end.). Black Desert? Asian which means it will be grindy and it has no Healer plus it's PVP end game(sounds oddly familiar lol). Actually that's pretty much every Asian MMORPG that's generating some smoke(minus the not having healers part in some instances). WoW? Not interested and I would probably choose Rift over it anyway.
 
There's basically nothing. This was it. I'm sure a lot of future MMORPGs will be "consolized" too. The future of the MMORPG looks so bleak.
 
I'm sad now. Thanks, Carbine....

Dom/Orias server - 50 war some alts, played since release.. I thought i was having issues with "phasing" but this server is really empty, I cancelled last week and just curious about if anyone was playing.. nope, checked every day on/off primetime the guild which was 200 strong is now down to a handful of people. 
 
You need to merge these servers SOMEHOW or remove phasing, I am not paying for a single player game monthly. I'll check back next year maybe there will be a megaserver for PvE or something.

			It is Saturday night and pretty prime time for online gaming, and every Wildstar server except 1 or 2 has low population, any time of day that I check. This is concerning to me, as I love this game. Perhaps some server consolidation needs to happen sooner rather than later, as painful as those can be. Why are the server populations so low? I rarely ever see anyone, and lately any time that I check on Caretaker, the Thayd auction/commodities area has a fraction of the people it had only a few weeks ago when I started.

Quite a bold claim for OP, Cotton.

maybe I am missing something, but wouldnt removing factions mean it would be hard to justify pvp?
 
not that I am exactly against a game with no pvp, but more than a few people seem to enjoy it and the us vs them is the reason for factions is it not?
