Hi Snarfblatt
We have some people who are around that but not exactly, like Bredin, or Capone but some others may play when you play... Last night I saw Suicyder online very late in the night GMT, for example again. (I was there but it's not really my time frame, I was just checking our Lair bosses patterns). Could you tell us more specifically at what times you play GMT (or in your time zone)? You said "evenings"... Is that like 8PM for you (20:00) and that would mean 4 in the morning GMT so like 6AM in most European countries for example?
Honestly, TSW is quite empty at those times and we won't have a lot to offer either. The irony is, if you (or any person around GMT -8) had joined earlier, we would probably have much more to offer to your time zone now. Maybe with some people willing to make an effort, we could create an attraction point for a time zone... it's a bet though.
Now, to be totally honest too, TSW population dropped a lot since the last week of August. It's very visible and we feel it too, quite severely, as everyone. It's probably a combination of many many things (people having a look at GW2, waiting for TSW Issue 2, vahing rushed the game and burned themselves out, or feeling like they "completed" the game because they reached the end -actually a non-ending- of the first storyline, or people non wanting to enter a purple/nightmare grind...)
It's not something final at all. Incoming additions and modifications, and people coming back from testing other games can change everything. As for ourselves, we'll launch a new activity and recruitment policy with Issue 2 release. (More on that later, guys.)
So... can you give us some time frame about you?:)
