This server is so empty and boring.I started a new toon in another server and had more fun than I've ever had in Eldar.Everyone was running around,doing quests,talking,sparring...Gond amon was more crowded than Eldar's Galtrev Eldar is a ghost server.And also people are mostly rude.I recommend all newbies to choose another server to start.Not that Eldar is a bad server.It is empty.Also Eldar has the least amount of threads and posts in the forum lol.
Strange, having started a new character myself yesterday(since I used to play on this server back in the Codemaster times) I've run into a TON of players around my own level, constantly. And there was always someone to talk to on Regional, or people dawdling around in Bree.
Makes me wonder if you were on at some odd hours really.
You obviously have no idea what empty means or you logged in at after midnight EST. Try Crickhollow for example, THEN you will see what empty means, even on peak hours. :/
