I've only recently come back to the game, and I'm only about level 25 at the moment. I'm just wondering what's going on with the server in terms of people being around?

I went for probably 3 hours today without hearing so much as one conversation in shout. Not even a peep when I was in the cities..

I haven't been around since patch 2.1 was about to be released so it's been a while. Is it because there is some new place that everyone hangs out? Or is this just normal now?

Thank You anyone that answers, it's appreciated
