Q:

I got back into playing and I’m not really sure what to do with my 80 warrior right now so I made a new character and it seems like nobody is even around to help with events and some aren’t even doable solo, my server status is Very High on Sorrow’s Furnace. And now server transfers cost gems :sadface:

Should I not even bother leveling and continue to do whatever on my warrior?

A:

No, its not pointless.

There are still people around the starter areas, even more now with the change to daily achievments.
If all you want to do is PvE, you can “guest” in other servers. Paid transfers didnt change anything for you.
Crafting is still profitable in low-mid lvls, sometimes more than in high lvls.
You can still have fun out there, even more without the crazy zergs all over like release time.

Try guesting on some other servers such as Jade Quarry, Sanctum of Rall, Sea of Sorrows. I bet there are a bunch of players just like you leveling and doing events. Good Luck.

Definitely use guesting. It’s a great new feature.

Also if you just loged off try playing at more active hours. About 4 or 5 PM server time

Which race are you? Charr and Norn starter areas generally have the least activity. Queensdale is always packed (at least on NSP) because everyone and their brother wants to play as a human for some reason. Metrica and Caledon seem to be well populated as well. If none of those areas seem to be populated, you might want to take the guesting suggestion because it’s probably your server (at least in the time slot you play).

You can usually just say on map that there is a group event starting and people will flock in from every corner.

This is especially true in Queensdale where the champ troll, champ spider, wasp queen, champ boar and champion treant (forget its name) are short cooldowns.
