Guild Wars 2

So, I’m pretty new with GW2, I played the first one way back in the day, but just picked this one up less than a week ago. I realize I might be a little late to the party, but I have only seen 3 people over the past couple of days. I feel like I bought a huge single player game. Maybe I’m confused on what the definition of “High” population means, but unless everyone is hiding under a big rock on the other side of the world, I’m not seeing it. While it is okay to play alone, it is not okay to be destroyed on every world event because I’m fighting hordes of enemies and a big boss alone. That is horribly un-fun. I think maybe a couple of the worlds should be mashed together in order to bolster some population. I’m not a tech wiz, so that may be extremely difficult, or it may be boring it’s so easy, but something needs to be done. I have an entire world to myself. It’s lonely at the top…

The meaning of population of worlds in this case does not mean actively signed on. It means the number of people who play in the world whether they are online or offline.

It is so WvW is more likely to be balanced than if everyone were allowed to be on one server as long as not too many got on at the same time.

There’s a huge portion who spend their time in Lion’s Arch just chatting it up.

There’s a huge portion that spend their time going from dungeon to dungeon.

There’s a huge portion in WvW.

I’m on Crystal Desert which sits at Very High. Today while playing my level 11 human warrior in Queensdale, I saw maybe 10 people.

Yesterday while playing my level 80 asuran elementalist in Straits of Devastation at first I saw no one. I got near the Temple of Balthazar and low and behold I see a zerg. I catch a skill point at the temple while others are keeping the enemies at bay and in the time it took to get the skill point the zerg had disappeared.

And yesterday or the day before I saw no one in Dredgehaunt Cliffs in the morning. That night, I logged in and there’s a bunch of people there doing a Guild Rush event.

So they can’t really combine any worlds without possibly causing problems including higher chances of overflows in places like Lion’s Arch or World Bosses when they are active. As it stands Teq’s really popular and will go into Overflow servers a lot.

Check the major cities, worst case scenario you may need to jump ship and go to another server. Maybe do a little looking at the forums and a few of the guild recruitment websites to see where people live at.

I’ve since went to Lions Arch. Yep. Everyone was hiding there. Haha

You would appear to be on a server that is working primarily on end-game content, then, and PvP stuffs.
