New Player

Hey everyone,
I just recently started on city of heroes and I was wondering if a lot of people still play it. I'm in Galaxy City and I don't see anyone....where does everyone hang out and are all the cities relative to a certain level range? I mean am I doomed to always be playing by myself because I am new? I really am enjoying the game but the tumbleweeds are getting to me...lol. I'd appreciate any answers to these questions.

There are still people playing Coh yes, alot, maybe not. Anyway Atlas park is more popular then Galaxy, so you might want to try and go there.

Thanks for the welcome. And I will be sticking around...I think it's worth buying and seeing if anyone still plays...it's a very very fun game.
My Global name is Kryst Daymen.

Infinity also may not quite be a a quiet Server, It's the third largest last Time I checked, but it's a large drop off from Virtue and Freedom, who take the two largest supply of people. I don't play in Virtue anymore because of the Lag, and I've never been to freedom, but I'm certain that like Virtue it has more than 1 Atlas Park. But in the higher servers, there will always be people willing to team, weather these people are good team mates is another matter though.
The best thing to do now-a-days, is to sit tight, gain some levels on your own and flip your Team message to Looking for any.

Because this game is heavily instanced, it'll seem like nobody is around in the city zones. /search is your friend, as are global channels, supergroups etc

As others have said, this is a heavily instanced game. When using /search (or /sea if you're feeling lazy...), enter close to your level range and hit 'search' button. This will show more than just people in your immediate area. Greys are on a team, whites are not. There's more colors, but those are the two basics. Search also shows you their location...it helps to see just how many people are in missions. There's a strong rumor persisting that Castle let it drop that sub numbers are really much healthier than various powers expected (I think over 100k at least).

And to add to the ghost town impersonation, there are people who /hide from search functions, so you won't see them in game unless they send you a tell or you're standing next to them. And Infinity is a server with a slight soloing bent, compared to, say, Virtue. We team plenty, just not as much as you'd expect with a relatively large server population.

That being said, feel free to global friend me if you want to team, or chat in game, or have questions about the game. @Tiny Bolt and @Tinier Bolt.

Global channels are also helpful--it's where quite a few people find teams. I've heard rumors of finding teams on channels like Infinity Hamidon, but I'm not personally in that channel, so I don't know. AE Anonymous' chatter can be really frakkin annoying, but it is a highly useful channel to find a team in...but you probably want to put it in a seperate tab so you aren't swamped with chatter from it. If you want badge missions and tfs, Infinity Badges and Inf Badge Seeker are great.

Be sure to say hi to me sometime, I love meeting new heroes! Maybe we can get together sometime and I can show you some sights around the city! And if you ever have any questions or need anything, just look for your friendly neighborhood Taxibot!
