Guild Wars 2

Honest question here, but does anyone still play this? I just reinstalled after a year of being gone, and the first thing I’ve noticed is how barren the game is. Chat is completely empty, I never see anyone talking. On average I see one other person every hour or so. Events are impossible to complete because it’s solo on everything. I go to Vigils Keep at peak hours and only see 10 or so people wandering around. WvW is completely empty, I never see a soul.

Where is everyone? Where did the playerbase go? Used to be you couldn’t solo if you wanted to, people were everywhere and would jump in if they saw you fighting a champ. What happened?

Not sure if troll… with megaserver you shouldn’t ever find a map that’s empty anymore.

Unless the OP is in Lion’s Arch ruins?

Maybe he is landing in a new and empty shard.

OP, here is information about the Megaservers if you don’t know about them.

If you are on a shard with no people, try this. Type /IP in the chat box, that will give you the identification number of that shard. Then guest to another server, it doesn’t matter which. Type /IP again. If the same, guest again until you get a different number. Then see if people are around.

As indicated above….the worlds should be now more active than when you left, since everyone is being shuffled into the megaservers.

This can’t be real. If chat is completely empty, why would anyone expect Vigil’s Keep to be populated?

One has to wonder if, (I feel a song coming on)
Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?

Troll obviously, I never get any peace wherever I go. It’s usually local mornings that the game is a little deserted, but that’s only expectable.

What a terrible liar. He hasn’t played in a year yet somehow knows that Vigil Keep is the new hub.

Lol, I thought about writing that….that song has been in my head since the other thread!

I believe this post is an example of why exactly we got the overcrowded megaservered multilingual scheduled zergs so many of us hate:

people never logging in or playing but constantly complaining on the forums about how “the game is dead”.

From a February 11, 2013 post by OP in this thread

“Hell, by the looks of it, most of the playerbase has quit, even during peak hours Lions Arch is a ghost town. I’m level 70, and I haven’t done a single dungeon simply because there is never anyone to run them with, and without a LFG system, I end up standing around town spamming chat for hours and then logging off without getting anything done”.

So, I guess things haven’t changed for him.

Edit: the game now has a LFG tool ingame OP. Its on the Contacts panel ( the Y key). http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Looking_For_Group The dungeons fill up very fast and there is a constant stream of them. Much better than spamming LFG in LA.

Hi everyone,

Since this thread doesn’t offer a constructive discussion, we’ll now close it.

Thank you for your understanding.
