I logged in lastnight for the first time in over a month (too busy to game) and I ran into 2 people in starter zones and no one in the mid-level zones. I played for like 10 minutes and logged off so that was not a very good indicator but I may switch servers once I really start playing again. A part of the fun in playing mmo's is playing with other live people online so I got bored pretty fast... and sleepy lol

They may do what FFXI did and merge servers if this continues.

If the trend continues GW2's population will be lower than SWTOR's in a few months. It's already about to be surpassed by FC3, BF3, D3, WoT, Minecraft on Xfire. I wonder when they will start merging servers.

There's been a staggering loss in population for GW2 but people have left quietly.   Most people leave MMOs kicking and screaming and having a major fit because they didn't get what they wanted.

Maybe its because Anet is so willing to hand out refunds.  Kinda takes away the burn when they give you your money back.  $60 back in your pocket isn't a bad thing.
