I have logged into game after being away for three years, and I cant find anyone. Where is everyone, what server is now best to play.I was all alone in dion, saw maybe 2 other people.
Currently, the PTS server for the upcoming Freya update just went live today! Therefore, it's likely that some of the popular places on live servers will seem underpopulated because many players are on a differently game client to experience the Public Test Server of this new game update. :)
In general, on live servers, people hang out and trade in Giran, Aden, and Rune. You will also likely find players in Gludio, Gludin and Schuttgart. Starting villages are only populated for, well, starting characters. Dion usually has a couple of shop characters, and possibly a few characters look for Kamaloka, but otherwise might seem empty. But, since new characters get free teleports until they are level 40, you should talk to the Gatekeeper in any town and travel around a bit. You will surely encounter some players and even get a clan if you shout requests for one.
Popular servers at the moment are (I would say) Teon (EU) and Phoenix (NA). All of the servers have a substantial population, and each server will certainly have players in Giran.
since server keeps kicking me out.. i'm staying logged off for a few days.... probly some ppl are in the same situation, other are playing PTS... and most have gone... servers are much less populated than 3 yrs ago
