Where is everyone?

So I've been away since EoTN hit shelves, and I've recently gotten back into the game. I've been playing through Nightfall with a new character, since I figured this would be a good way to remind myself of many aspects of the game. The problem is... every mission and quest I've done so far has been with henchmen and/or heroes... Mission outposts seem to be deserted, even of people looking for HM parties. I even tried switching from the Euro default server to American and International, but no luck.

Are people just not PuGging any more, or is everyone off in EoTN?

Thanks for reading!

Really? I've recently been doing my "Anyone need help?" rounds in Nf and I've found the district quite full AE side

Most people are:

-Farming High End areas
-Maxing their titles
-Doing Zaishen Quests

I'd suggest finding a decent guild.

Also, Zaishen Quests will generate a massive influx of people to certain missions and explorables, might want to take advantage from it.

Woo, cheers for the quick response guys. Looks like there's plenty to read up on! I'll keep on going and hope I'm just on at weird times then. :P

Thanks again!

The europe server may aswell be shut down, im sick of starting up GW after an update or something, looking round wondering where everyone is and then realising im back on euro server. American server is quite full but i average 400ping which makes my interruption skills in PVP suck worse than i normally do.

Everyone's at Ol' man Jenkins' swimmin hole. Surprised you didn't get the memo. Then again most people are in the dungeons and high end SC areas to farm their asses off for money. Chances are if you want some companionship, find something in the game you like, and join a guild with your same interests. As for PuGs...well let's just not go there

Predictably lots of people are in nightfall collecting Berries for Nicolas the traveller.

Keep in mind time zone differences too. American is the place to be (with a few exceptions like Hero's Ascent being international). And of course, nobody (with lives) is playing at 5 am.

I'm surprised you can't find anyone in Spamadan... it's still the best place to hawk your stuff IMO. And Sunspear Sanctuary's got like 6 dises right now due to berry farmers. Normally it's Cantha as has got only about 6 people outside Shing Jea... Zaishen Quests are helping to fix that, though.

It's mostly just American districts, though. The other dises are almost completely uninhabited AFAIK, though the Euro one does have a few people. Ever since they implemented territory switching in the dis changer, Int'l's empty because it's useless and most people in other territories seem to want to go US just because there are so many people here. The funny thing is that my guildies and I usually LEAVE Am dis... whenever someone starts to lag in a town, it's "Let's go to China, then," because in the entire time that I've visited Traditional Chinese districts I've seen maybe a grand total of 50 people, and about 40 of those were in LA on Wintersday.

I'd definitely say find a good guild or get really friendly with the henchies if you plan on spending a lot of time in non-capitals.

Yeah, just make sure you're on the American districts now.
Europe is deserted.

Well I hope not(dead that is) lol, but I can join AARP now so I hope GW2 will be here soon

I see quite a few people around on American servers but I'm not sure how many are lfg. I've heard that with the Zaishan quest pugging is sort of picking up. I hope so because back in the day it was really fun

Welcome back and a good guild will work wonders
