Player Population?

[Jesse]

Want to try this but worried is dead for new players. Steam charts show only a few hundred concurrent players but I know not everyone is on steam.

ehh, the towns are less populated than they used to be (and I'm pretty sure like 30-40% of what remains is bots) but it's definitely not dead.

Now, PVP on the other hand is straight up dead.

95% of players are not on steam. GW has it's own launcher.

There is population. USA servers, have up to 5 or more kamadam trade chat etc... If you want to see people, you can play on usa servers.

I play on EU, becouse of ping.

I've only played 5-6hrs of the game but have never seen another player. I use the AI, but to be honest I prefer it that way as I love single player RPGs and am not as keen on MMOs

There are maybe a few thousand active players, and there are some pretty big active guilds and alliances too. There's more life on the subreddit if you want to find community https://www.reddit.com/r/GuildWars/

And yes, the vast majority of players play on the American district (I play on EU because I like low ping and low population :D)

[Zachism]

I played 1 hour and saw people in the city, it's a instanced game so you won't see people unless in town or party.

[SAROMON]

You can see players even on the starting zones.

[YellowJello]

Generally speaking there are between 6 and 8 people actively playing at a time.

That was a joke, for those of you that don't understand things.

[Calamity]

I got more human interaction in this game in first hour then in wow for 2months. Game is still has hard missions, people were already trying to help me.!

Is there a way to find guilds for gaming (such as this one, but even in general) without using Reddit?

Yes there is discord if you need it:

[Celendrin]

lol I don't like discord almost as much as reddit, but that's cool so you're saying discord has like sections for checking out guilds and stuff like that and applying to join?

I have to admit that's kinda neat, alright cool thanks

The game went into maintenance mode almost a decade ago. The player count has been close to nada for a very long time. If you actually run into a real person your lucky.
