It sure is. Not sure how current numbers compare to other MMOs or previous peaks or whatever, but my personal experience is that there are always players around, no matter where I am, or what I’m doing. The community is also very nice. Always happy to jump in and help another player in trouble, or assist in a quest or event that requires a group to do.
I’m enjoying it. The story can all be done solo, as can most of the open world content. There are a bunch of group things you can join or leave as you want, and there are heaps of guilds that have regular runs through raids and other instanced group content (I haven’t spent much time doing that stuff yet, tbh). One of the biggest problems I’m having is that coming in now after 13 years (I think), there is so much to do it’s basically a sandbox, so having some structure to follow (like the story missions) is essential for me.
