Guild Wars 2

Fay.2735:

I found that whenever I go on alts on my server Desolation I always see people around the zones I go through. That said the reality is that a lot of players are already level 80 (You can technically get to level 80 in a couple of days time).

So you will find most people are doing dungeons, WvW, pvp or world events (or slacking in LA). This is quite normal for most mmo’s where you won’t see a huge amount of people leveling after a certain amount of time on the game has passed.

For example WoW is one of the biggest games and I was on one of the active servers but when leveling alts I rarely came across anyone in the lower level areas. In comparison GW2 has a lot more people going to these areas than other mmo’s I’ve played. It could very well be that you were on there at the wrong time.

On top of that some servers have population dedicated more to one thing or another. For example I think Seafarers is mostly WvW and Piken Square being Role play (correct me if I’m wrong I don’t really keep up with these things).

What I would suggest is guesting to another busier server (which is free and you can try different servers with this method) to see if you like the density in the lower level maps there better. You can then continue playing as a guest or decide to transfer over.

Again though don’t expect there to be masses of people like during launch it’s just not realistic.

(I also don’t know when you were last playing the game but recently they released super adventure box in which time most people converged unto rata sum to do that so I’d imagine the world would’ve been pretty dead because of it)

Really informin answer, thanks! I’ma try guesting ^^. But yea ofcourse I didn’t expect the same amount of people that was at launch and actually yesterday I saw ALOT of people running around in Queensdale so I guess it was just bad luck of mine.

Thanks for the answers!
Leveling is indeed soloable but as I said I would much rather level with alot of people than none since it’s more fun, atleast imo. So I guess I just had bad luck then :/.

Hello!
So after a few month break I came back to play Guild Wars 2. I remembered it as it was the first month or two from the launch – full of people. However now, I logged in and created an alt, a human thief who I leveld up to level 14. During that time I managed to see in total 2-3 people in the areas I were which were LA, Metricia Province, Charr’s newb zone and queensdale. I’d love to play this game but it seems like I’m stuck on a dead server or atleast it seems to me it’s dead. I’m playing on Gunnar’s Hold where I transferred with few of my friends from Gandara back then. So is Gunnar’s Hold really a dead server or did I just have bad luck? And if it is dead any advice what I could do since leveling up alone really feels boring and I don’t want to play too much. Help is much appreciated and sorry for bad English, I’m from Finland.
