Guild Wars 2

What does it actually mean when the server populations says “High” or “Full.” Does ANet go by the number of people CURRENTLY on said server, or by the number of accounts MADE on said server.

Also, is there any official sort of chart/graph that shows each server’s current population in comparison to eachother?

I am currently on Henge of Denravi, and even though it says “High”, and is the second server down from one that says “Full”, most of the areas seem so deserted. Granted, I only just started the game a day or two ago, so I may not have gotten to any majorly populated areas.

Thank you in advance. =)

Full means account registered on that server. It won’t guarantee that the map you currently are in will be full of people. most people are hangin in Orr, LA, dragon bosses and outside dungeons. Which I also think is sad because I would love to see more people doing the DEs elsewhere than Orr.

Low level areas will be considerably less full than high level areas, unless the game has just been released.

If it were the number of accounts made on a given server, as opposed to the number of people currently on said server, the rating would not change dynamically through the day.

there are few people in low level now because the large mass of players during the release have level 80s and doing level 80 stuffs now.

None of what you said is true.
