What is considered a 'good' realm population?

[Pr0jectseph]

Firstly, know that Duty Finder uses players from across the entire data center, not just your one world.

Secondly, as far as relative world populations, the most useful and current source, albeit not the most specific, would be the official status post here:

That classifies Kujata as "standard." The "congested" ones likely have more, but this would only be viable if you already have a character there since you cannot create a character there or transfer while it's congested.

Thanks a lot for that post. It clarified a fair amount of info. Especially about Duty finder being data-centre linked.

I guess I got a little 'disheartened' that the world I run around in seems quite lonely.
I understand I am a new player (again, lv. 20), but I expected to see more people out and about doing F.A.T.E's and questing.
