Is it just my server?

why are the new zones still ghost towns?
there are ALWAYS fates up. the XP is substantially more than NThan and flying is faster than running. ( if you dont havee flying since its your first job or something gg end of convo i get it)

Atleast on my server there are one maaaybe two pts in a zone. if the hinterlands for example got flooded like Nthan does the xp would be amazing. but slow kills are what drags the xp per hr down.

not sure what can be done since there was just a buff to new zones but there has to be a way to encourage people into the new zones. any thoughts?

Start a fate party in PF, people join, no zone is the "best" zone right now so people are just waiting for someone to lead them there. Be that leader.

(N than like Central Coe. was just good exp per hour so people would swarm there, no zone like that has been discovered/ does not exist yet)

The reason N.than is so popular is because it's accessible to the new jobs for leveling, thus tons of people are there to get thei AST MCH DRK or other classes to 51, thus the higher population = more exp per hour = more use than the new zones for fates.

And once they hit 51, they start doing dungeons again, leaving the new zones as ghost towns.
