We had 20 channels. on 2x event, 99% of the map in Arcana (which has over 20+ maps) are full on all 20 channels avaialble. Lachlein, also have majority of the maps full on all 20 channels. that is how crowded is Reboot. Some of the maps are really good. on 2x event, if you want to grab those best maps, you need to even keep /hold the map 1 day before with your friends. I would not just say Reboot as crowded. Possibly overcrowded. I know the population bar is not full. But once you play in it, it is pack with players. Even now with 30 channels avaialble, on normal days, you still see 25 out of 30 maps on best map still fill up with players nonstop.
Stop playing on the "meta maps" and you'll stop seeing people. I can go entire days without seeing anyone in arcane river just by grinding on maps that don't have a daily quest associated with them.
Basically all of the out-of-the-way or untouched maps, the ones where you frequently see elite bosses spawned on normal servers by bots. The former 360 arcane power maps in vanishing journey for one.
It's like I said in my prior post: everyone is so caught up in chasing efficiency in leveling speed, so beholden to the meta, that they stick to the same string of a dozen or so maps from level 1 all the way up to wherever they stop leveling. That's why you can channel surf and never find a free channel in forsaken excavation site 2, but you'll never see a soul in forsaken excavation sites 1, 3 and 4.
