I have a level 15 cleric on Blue. I don't have good gear. I don't have great hours when I can play. My job ...when I get home which is normally in the early AM hours...is anywhere between 6 and 11 am. Saturday night I am allowed off because I work so long on Friday night. I like this server but when I sign on there is nobody on in low level zones. If there is a guild to help me... I will play 2 days a week for you...I am an ok cleric :) It is not an easy game to play when you work overnights

You’re really going to have a tough time on Blue at your level, on your first character, solo and with an unorthodox schedule. Why not reroll on Green? The leveling scene is much healthier.

I do have a chacater on green... I tried coming back on blue because nobody was playing on Green at my time :( I guess my hours to play just stink no matter what server I play

I've had some luck on Green by hitting the high population zones. Have you been checking Crushbone and Unrest?

unfortunately my cleric on green is only level 7 ... I almost got killed trying to solo a giant scarab in EC. It is my timing when I play. I only play a few hours a week at the wrong time :( Guess I have to live with it the way things are lol

Ugh, I see. The first 10ish levels of most classes are rough IMHO :-/ I'd try orc hill in Gfay or even Crushbone entrance though before giving up, as those both tend to be popular spots for low levels, unless you would rather swap to a more solo-friendly class.

Make a necro and have a blast whether you group or solo. Twink a cleric later

Agreed. I was so resistant to this because I play to socialize, but I have finally gotten around to just sitting afk for hrs at a time, and it is great to be able to do something, walk away, cook dinner, come back etc.

Making a necro or another strong solo class is a good suggestion.

There is no hour of the day currently where the population on Green is less than Blue, by a significant margin. As others have suggested, try out a solo char to get some farming/plat built up, then you can outfit your group character and have a chance of solo play on him if you need to get some XP while you wait for group.

Red99 is the most casual box there is, it is also the elite box were good players go to rest in peace.

Thank you all for your posts and advice :) A good Idea would be to start a better solo class like a necro. Unfortunately...Starting a class takes time I don't have .A couple days a month took me to level 15 on blue which took months. So I reroll to play another character for months. I can't. As for the graph with the population is sorta silly. 500 peeps on at 5am est on Green could be all situated to a raid or 400 level 45 plus peeps in a zone that won't pay too much mind to my level 7 on green. Thanx all again for your posts. Was just hoping for a few low levels like me that play at slow times of play

What's your rush? Kill stuff, get xp to kill bigger stuff, repeat. This game isn't some panacea "later"; enjoy the journey.

Where was this graphic taken from? I didn't realize server population was trackable.
