I'm in Malboro it is packed as well. Had one instance where I had to wait in order to get in, only about a minute. But never saw that before. But there are tons of people that I see. I see alot of level 50's all over the place even doing some pretty low level FATES that come up. The party finder always seems to have high level parties in it. The cities are usually full as well as the country side. I venture into the player housing area sometimes to buy those items you can't find anywhere else, don't really see too many people in there. Though I'm not in there long and they could be in the houses for all I know. I must get about 5 or more FC invites a day, though that maybe normal. There seems to be pretty good mix of player level. I'm not that well versed at the game so I can't really offer up anymore than that.
