Guild Wars 2 is still active and popular?

Hi guys , pretty much the tittle ^^

Thanks in advance :)

For sure. Heaps of people and guilds constantly playing.

Im really into pvp , probably my favorite thing to do in this type of games , can u give me your thoughts in GW2 pvp?

I'm more of a PvE guy myself, so don't have much experience with PvP.

From what I've seen and heard, it's like a completely different game from PvE, and pretty fun from videos and player feedback.

Do you have any idea about the Arena mode? As a wow pvp player i love arena

I actually find the game very good with it's lore and almost didn't touch the pvp section (yes I know GW in pvp is the best)

Im starting as a mesmer , currently lvl 10 or so , im enjoying levling. The only problem i have is that i am underlevel for certain quests so i have to ''grind'' the hearts on the current zone and stuff (not sure if thats considered grinding)

i took this screenshot 12 hours ago. so, in short, yes.

granted, this particular area is part of the "megaserver", but eventually all areas will be made as such. they only implemented this 3 days ago so they will balance it, and iron out the issues.

I played for a few hours the other day and didn't see another player in any of the level 30-40 areas that I was wandering through.

I'm guessing that people still play it, but it's definitely lacking the life that it had at launch.

It's not really a grind because there're more to that, there're randomly generated events which you can accomplish with doing it along with another people

New patch introduced megaservers, which is basically dynamic server merges. Killed the RP population apparently and throws together different languages.

Some servers are practicly ghost towns, with other servers being really active. It has a decent and healthy population, but it is nowhere near as big as it was at launch. It is worth noting that the population is heavily focused in particular zones, primarily the WvW map, low level areas, high level areas and wherever Arenanet decides to pull the herd next. Unfortunately the sPvP mode is very niche, with the awful community, single game mode, low skill ceiling and hilariously bad balance not helping.

All in all, dont worry too much over a lack of population. If you cant find other players, try looking in different areas, if you dislike being alone in mmos you can always go to the low level areas like queensdale which are always really active, you still get good rewards from those areas thanks to the loot and reward scaling.
