Welcome to the game. Going Rogue is the new release which puts you in a new zone until lvl 20then you can move over to either heroe,s or villians
Prof Radburn controller,Celtic Ice Maiden,blaster,Miss Knockout scrapper,Mistress Davina controller,Stone Hart,tank Split Personality PB.Queen Lostris controller,Fridgid Mary blaster,Shocking Fire blaster Future Elfling defender, Little Weed controller,Capo Angelo MM, Commander Buzzsaw MM, Justice Tank tank all 50,s
The biggest reason servers might seem dead is that most of our missions are instanced, so you won't see too many people running around the city.
Join some of the busier channels (Union Chat and sals badgehunters, for example) and have fun! IIRC, the command to join channels is /chanjoin <channel name>, without the brackets.

Hello there and welcome to Union Since you are a new player i will try and explain as much as i can in as little space as possible. Further explanation will be quickly answered if needed
- Emptyness? Well i can only assume that since you asked what the new update Going Rogue is, i can only assume that you have the CoH/CoV game and NOT the Going Rogue update. If this is true, then your low level experience will be more solo than teamed since the large majority of players now use the low level zones in Praetoria [the zones that Going Rogue unlocks that is] due to the vastly superior storylines/new powers and simply much better locations. Highly suggest you purchase going rogue.
- Chat channels? These are channels in which players can keep in constant communication with eachother no matter what server they are on, as long as they are in the same server list [so north american players cant communicate with european players via global channels as example]. This is great for setting up teams and just general chit chat with people from the game. On union the main channels are Union Chat [for just general chit-chat], Sals Badgehunters [used for mostly badge teams], Union Taskforce [setting up taskforces and raids]. The game will instantly feel more populated once you have these up and running.
- Servers? Union and defiant are the english speaking servers with the other two for the german and french speaking amongst us
One thing i think you might not have noticed are the FREE updates this game gets. City of Villains and Going Rogue are the big updates you had to pay for to access true, but this game has 18 free updates [called issues here] worth of content and new powers and everything since the game was launched. Currently have 2/3 of these a year and if you check out the issue 19 overview page for the next one out next month, i think you can see the quality of these updates are only getting better
Hope to see you ingame soon if you decide to stay! If anything, think you should give it a month to find your feet. I've been here 60 months now and im still as addicted to it as ever, this is one of those games that just gets better the more and more you play it.
After all, what other MMO do you know where YOU are the hero and not just a sidekick to some famous superpowered thing?
[you'll understand once you get to higher level ]
@Damz Find me on the global channel Union Chat. One of the best "chat channels" ingame!
Not only that, but most veteran players are probably avoiding lower level characters due to pending changes coming, I know I am!

Thanks for the responses, and for your detailed reply Jamie.
I'm on the trial and I believe its using the Going Rogue areas (I've been in Praetoria and have just moved to Imperial City for the Invention Tutorial and first few missions there.)
I cant use the chat channels yet because I'm limited to the Local one.
It seems the game isn't as empty as first thought based on these replies! I'll probably purchase the full version over the next few days (expires on 4/11 anyway).
Will be online tonight, globalchat name @Sephs
Loving the customisation options?
