There doesn't have to be 2000 concurrent users for there to be "people around you." You don't need to be drowned in a sea of wall to wall bodies to be able to interact with anyone and have a good time.You do, if you want people around you.
As much fun as you might think it to be if every single player was on Asura, the game can not handle it. Period. It already can barely handle the number of people there now. Maybe you forgot about the lag and those multi hour Sortie wait times already?
If they can't find a party, they aren't trying hard enough. Simple as that. Parties don't just fall into your lap, even on Asura, you have to ask around. It's been this way since the beginning of the game. There is no auto matcher like modern MMOs, nor do people (usually) just fire party invites out into the void. Recall back earlier when I polled my linkshell here on "empty" Shiva and not one person responded back saying they were having difficulty getting things done.Clearly this is the case here as OP can't even find a party.
More or less full linkshell. Has not let me down.
There's people in all the places you expect to see people.
Logging on to a server and typing /sea all does not really give you a clear picture of what things are like. You can't just look at a number and go "wow nobody's doing anything in this ghost town." There are people doing stuff, and probably in far greater relative porportions- particularly after factoring out bots and everyone that's AFK and people who are waiting to get into content (which is a problem that doesn't exist here.)
That's because they're out and about doing stuff, not because they don't exist.go to the town in the game and there is nobody around anymore.
As far as doing things solo, even on an FFXIV or WoW server packed to capacity, the majority of the time you're solo. The vast majority of people only group when they need to, not just for the heck of it.
