Noob question.

Hello i have just started playing RoM. It really seems like i would like it. But the entire time i have played it has been pretty quiet. And i would like to know if RoM is dying or is it just the server or just a bad time of year. I have been playing on Reni. Is there a server that is more populated or what? Any help would be greatly appreciated =)

That deppends. If I'm right, Artemis is the most populated server for the moment. And the questing area will be hard to find someone other in the starting zone or on the end zones. The most movimented places are instances that usually are runned by guilds and of course there's always siege. Since I joined RoM, never seen any movimented event as Colorweave Festival so far. You just have to find your place to be.

It really depends on what time of day you play. Usually, around 4pm-9pm Pacific time is when Reni is the most active. Generally all servers are the same in that regard. Artemis may be the most "populated", but it doesn't mean they have a loooot of people. Just means they have a bit more.

This game's population as a whole is relatively low in comparison with other successful MMO's. But there are good, quality people here. Its free to play, so might as well try it out some more.

Few people ever revisit the older zones that most new players quest in, which is why the game may seem empty. Most people are in siege or inside instances, where you will not see them unless you are in their party/guild.
But there are still people playing - it was 23 vs 30 during siege last night, and it was a massive bloodbath with dozens of dead bodies piled up everywhere. ;) Of course, there are at least 100-200 more guilds, some with less people, others with more.

Your guild, or your server world channel is where you will see most people.

I do not know for other server, but on Grimdal we have a private world channel, a lot of players joins it and talk in it as if it was /y ! They make trades and sometimes groups are created. However, the best way is to join an active guild, that is where the most people stay with. Usually, players run with their own guild and rarely with others !
Just came back on a whole new toon :D

Forgot to mention - also check to see if your guild has Ventrio or Teamspeak. Most people prefer to use that to talk, rather than type in game, so if your guild is unusually silent, that may be the reason why. It allows you to chat directly, and really enhances gameplay because you won't be feeling lonely.

Shout out in Zone chat if you need a hand (for the longest time Zone is visible no matter which one it originates in; don't think they've fixed that). Both my husband & I don't mind at all trotting on down to help out if someone asks. We're both on at variable times so can't guarantee you a specific time. If you'd like, go ahead and add my name to your Friends list, it's in my sig.
