What you can do is take the time to talk to others and get to know them. Create a link shell and recruit people who have like-minded goals whom you enjoy playing with. In the end this is a multi-player game and if you want to enjoy it your best option is to make friends and get to know people you can play with consistently to get things done.

Even when this game first came out and the servers were full, shouts were an awful way to get things done. Increasing the server population would not help.
So I'm expecting people to be online when I have chances to play, expect people to not be doing anything when I have chances to play, expect people to be in need of the same thing I am when i have chances to play, and expect all these people to leave their frineds/linkshells to join one I create? Like i said I can't say how the past was due to being new but shouts have always been the way to go for me and have always worked, still do work perfectly fine when theres people online. The issue is when population starts to decrease those who rely on shouts are left having to shout for a longer period of time. There are just as many that rely on shouts that don't from what i've seen, the fact is there are people who do rely on shouts and more people would be great for those who do.
