Population Centres?
Divinitys Reach due to the festival, otherwise megaservers tends to keep people playing in the main world rather than congregating as much as prior
As Randulf said, Divinity’s Reach, the human capital, is where a lot of people gather, festivals, trading post and banker along with guild utilities.
Other than that Heart of the Mists for PvP and some of the other capitals, I see lots in the Grove but not the talkative ones.

Actually Grove is prob the most populated capital city. Partly due to the emphasis on sylvari, partly due to the number of story steps there
Oh yeah thanks guys really looking forward to starting this game up again probably from scratch at level one with mates this time
I think the problem (although I actually consider it a good thing) is that there isn’t one place everyone gathers. Instead there are several places in the game you can guarantee there will be large groups of people.
A quick list, from memory:
- The 3 spots in Lion’s Arch where there’s banks, merchants, TP agents and crafting stations
- Rata Sum, because it’s got all of the above close together
- The Grove, for the same reason and because some people prefer the scenery
- Divinity’s Reach currently because of the festival
- The Silverwastes because it’s currently one of the most profitable zones
- Wherever a world boss is currently active, people use the timers to follow them around
- The Edge of the Mists
- The Heart of the Mists
Less reliably, although almost certain to have big groups at peak times:
- Other WvW maps
- Drytop
- Orrian temples when there’s events running
- Frostgorge Sound
- Anywhere there’s a daily event completer
