Title pretty much sums it up. My group wants to play on the PvE server as it's the most populated. We usually tend to roll on the PvP servers, but the population difference seemed like too much for them, and I can agree with it, to some extent.
 
I'm curious if there are any other players out there like me that are kind of "stuck" on the PvE server out of concern for the PvP one. Since my friends have invested time in to Entity, I don't see them packing up and heading over. I know that I can still do instanced PvP, but it's kind of bumming running through contested zones and not being able to really do any PvP. 
 
Anyone else out there like this? What do you do to justify being on Entity? I want to enjoy my play experience, but I just keep wishing Warhound was the more populated server.

I play on Warhound and there's never a shortage of players around, queues are fast etc. At least at the moment.
 
Lame how opposed people are to world PVP these days.	
----
			You can flag yourself.  I've seen quite a few running around as flagged.	
----
			The silver lining would be that next to nothing and nowhere in this game is set up to be conducive to wPvP. I wouldn't even go so far as to call the common zones 'contested'

			Unless you're playing a Mechari...then you are predisposed to destroy the Exiles lol. Honestly, what little I've played on the PvP realm was great and haven't been attacked once.  Might be different at later levels, though. You have a choice, my friend.  Choose your friends or choose your wPvP or make them choose wPvP lol

W* really isn't a WPvP game tbh. There really isn't anything to push significant wPvP outside of individuals out looking to gank or guilds trying to set up organized things. Which really is a shame, we have such a great setting with the factions for RvR type PvP mechanics....
 
Maybe I just miss AoR too much... but this could be an awesome RvR game with just a few new zone mechanics...

Well considering the only significant wPvP that happens in this game is organized, you can probably just as easily find guilds willing to organize it on the PvE server.

It's not a fear of being attacked; we always chose the PvP realms in the past, but the realms were usually populated and active.
 
I suppose it's just me over analyzing everything. Just worried I'll miss what I can't have!

			Yes it does. Also, if things go well you and your friends can run warplots together.. which IF working properly is really a pretty awesome system.

Honestly, I'm impressed with the population on Warhound thus far. Granted, I have yet to enter a contested zone, but players are dueling left and right. No, Wildstar isn't really "set up" for OWPvP, but the danger is just what I need to break up the monotony of questing. I actually had some great times with this leveling up on initial release. Daily zones might as well have been battlegrounds sometimes. Also, does anyone remember that phoenix world boss after the first big content drop? How only one faction could receive credit for the kill? It turned into an all-out war! A lot of people don't like these things, but I always like that random, human element in a theme park game. They fixed that "bug" quickly, but I loved teaming up in huge raids and duking it out while waiting for the spawn, and while fighting the boss. Brought a sense of unity, purpose, and urgency that the game needed, but alas... people just want to fight the monster and get the things.
 
I would recommend creating an alt on a PvP server and leveling it through battlegrounds. It was viable at a time, and I'd imagine it still would be. Then you could create some much-needed ruckus in the daily zones. It's a lot more fun than it sounds, at least for me. If you're Exile, I strongly recommend travelling to Illium (accessible through southern Wilderrun, IIRC... stop and enjoy the hidden, no-grav skatepark on the way.) You can jump into broken geometry in the city walls (I think it's to the left of the exit facing southeast... it's been a year, so I don't really remember) and avoid the guards this way. You can then sit in the walls, shouting at and taunting nearby Dominion players. They won't be able to find you, but if they do, it's war. :) Tell all your friends about your adventures and they will get so jealous that they'll roll on Warhound. ;) Unless they fixed the walls... then poo on you, Carbine.

Ya, the War Plots sound awesome. Someone told me in another thread that no one does them though.

Plenty of people on Warhound.
 
I was on leveling my Esper in Whiterun. I was actually getting gangbanged by Dommies.
