You can view it as bad being underpopulated, but I hope the RMT (Gil sellers) won't bother going there too

And as long as you /SH for people and ask them to join their FC/LS, you won't feel alienated anymore.

What I'm thinking is that lots of them are at the end-game part of the game (Mor Dhona) - so you will see less of them on low-lvl maps.

note aside, I don't think you are playing bad. lvl 27 when you don't know anything about the game, just relax and enjoy the cutscenes ^^

It took me roughly 7 months to get all 19 chars to 50 (cap so far), playing about 20-30hrs per week. ( I work 60 hrs per week, sadly )

Lastly: If a server becomes so low in population (due to people changing server / stopped playing), SE could... close the server and giving a free transfer to a more populated server..

Just saying
