Can't really address the question of population on European servers, but NCsoft no longers publishes subscriber numbers. The last firm numbers we have are ~135,000 in late 2008.|

And don't worry, I would never dream of asterisking you.
We've been saving Paragon City for eight and a half years. It's time to do it one more time.
(If you love this game as much as I do, please read that post.)
1. The more populated servers are Virtue, Freedom, I forget the others.
2. This game is big on instanced missions. That means players don't spend a lot of time in the open zones unless they are socializing, leveling up, getting missions from contacts, etc.
3. Leveling up is extremely easy during the low levels so you might find more players in higher level zones.
4. You have started playing during the Winter event. Many players are goofing around in the Ski Chalet which is only open during this event. You can get to the chalet thru Pocket D. The closest Pocket D entrance is in Kings Row, or by using the Pocket D VIP teleport power. The VIP power comes with the Good vs Evil item pack $9.99. Once purchased all your characters will get the power.
I hope that helps and welcome to the game!
Damn sorry I totally spaced on the EU servers. My bad. Sorry.

OP - EU servers are generally much less populated than the NA ones, but there is a thriving EU community out there. Slide on down to the European Lounge and/or the Union server forum below to find people who will just love to introduce you to the game!
(I can confidently predict this, because that's just how awesome our community is!)
The rest of the info Forbin presented regarding the instanced missions and the Winter Event pulling people into a single zone is great stuff to keep in mind, though.

Also if you decide you want to play on the North American servers you can but you have to purchase the North American version of the game. The store normally only gives you the versions appropriate for your country but there are links to the other versions. You can tell which version you're looking at by the price. If it's in Euros it's the EU version while the NA version is in dollars. For example:
EU Version:
https://secure.ncsoft.com/cgi-bin/St...em&item_id=123
NA Version:
https://secure.ncsoft.com/cgi-bin/St...em&item_id=121

I appreciate your taking the time to point that out Ad, but I realized my error after I posted and added an apology for my screw up. It's in the text you quoted.|

To the OP again I apologise for spacing on the fact that you said you were on the EU servers.

I was reading in another thread about someone that started a new account and was advised that Customer Service might be able to help them get their account restarted as a NA account. If it's possible it doesn't hurt to ask.

Yes, just like a Chin and Dale cartoon.
(Shakes head and SHrugs) Yeah I have no idea what that means either.
Enjoy your day please.
Also, in general, there are not that many people "around" in zones. Most of the action in this game happens in instanced missions.
Mini-guides: Force Field Defenders, Blasters, Market Self-Defense, Frankenslotting.
So you think you're a hero, huh.
@Boltcutter in game.
Don't worry =) Your English is much better than some English speaking people on this forum. =)
Your character does not have capped defense. Depending on your AT the cap is between 175% - 225%. Your defense is not teal in the combat window, it can go higher. STOP SAYING IT IS CAPPED! The correct term is Soft Cap.
I enjoy playing in Mids. I specialize in Melee Characters, other AT's usually bore me.

Actually, it sounds more like a Mac and Tosh (aka Goofy Gophers...Warner Brothers) moment than a Chip and Dale moment.

Unless Chip's twin brother Chin got jealous, slayed Chip, and took his place without Dale noticing...
