I also post on guildwars2guru.
Increase in players?
I wouldn’t say so, there’s not much content at the moment. So many old players don’t play as much. However, a few sales + HoT announcement brought many new players to the game. I’d say it roughly equals out.
I wouldn’t say than ever before, but I am seeing lots of people in the zones I go to and most events being attended to.
It’s always going to anecdotal mind you
Megaservers make it hard to tell how many instances of a map are actually open and therefore how many players are actually playing. You could be on the one instance of a map and so it seems like there are a lot because everyone heading to that map is in your instance.
Doubt you can call this many atm…. Wait untill HoT is released…
We saw when gw2 was brimming with life: extreme loading times, swamped download servers, character lag in cities, crafting and BLTP lag due to load, Dc’s due to crowds
BUT LA had only limited crafting arrea’s people are all gathered in lion’s square the MF square and the bank area and the crafting area above it. Loading times were way higher at the time….
We’ll see, I really really really hope HoT will respark the life in GW2…
Home maps tend to be a bit fuller nowadays as well, but I remember when Megasevers first arrived I was in overflows all of the time, not ever seeing main server maps (nowadays I see most msg’s and recruit being about SFR, before Megaservers I was in FSP and everythin was about FSP, sometimes in an overflow ppl spoke german or french with recruits for any server, but it was rare, between on SFR when Megaservers were released crowds spoke any language with recruits for any server, which seems to become english again, with recruits being for my server only again… guess no overflows are needed atm..)
23 lvl 80’s, 9 times map, 4ele, 4ncr, 3war, 3grd, 3rgr, 2thf, 2msm, 1eng, 1 rev.

based on each of our own observations other than actual facts, which of course we’ll never have access to
