Red side has never been as popular as Blue. I am in PI tonight and still seeing broadcasts for teams.

I noticed this, but I spent some time on blue side to compare (albeit, lowbie areas, 1-30 sort of places) and it was still fairly dormant to me. Being a weekend and one of the most populated servers, I just thought it'd be like old times.

Most of the recruiting are done on the global chat channels, so you don't need to be out and about to be listening in on the grape vine.
Teams are the number one killer of soloists.
plus a lot of people have been running there 50's to get the new Incarnate stuff.

It was also a little slow this weekend, I believe due to Easter weekend. It's been pretty bustling lately and would think this weekend you'll see it pick up.

Yeah, it can be difficult to just happen to be in the same place as others at any given time.
However, joining the right global channels makes it unnecessary and makes finding people pretty easy.
Try joining:
Virtue LFG Beta
Virtue TFs
Virtue TFs 2010 (yeah, I'm pretty sure that's current, despite the date in the name!)
Easiest way is to pop in on your server's forum and look, search and/or ASK for the popular global channels for teaming and whatnot.

Welcome back 
Right now, with almost 7 years of 50s built up accross all the servers, there's a lot of emphasis being put on turning a lot of them into Incarnates, so it's going to take a while for everyone to get their 50s to where they want them to be on the Incarnate ladder.

I find Virtue to be at least as populated as Freedom, often more so. And the public global channels on Virtue are a lot more active than Freedom's; the only one I see much activity in on Freedom is Freedom TF(s?), and it's almost always full.|

Every single time I've seen players making excuses about this particular time being a time where people don't log on because of [IRL reason], that MMO kept losing subs and/or finally closed. It's a much bigger indicator than server merges. Doooom!
I was finding lowbie teams and TF groups all weekend just by existing - it wasn't that empty. I will admit it was kind of quiet Sunday morning, but hey, Easter. It picked up early afternoon.
Currently playing:
The Domestic: Broom/WP
Shadowhex: Dark Control/Dark Affinity
Defenestration Lass: Grav/Kin

Yes, and people have been "making excuses" like these since 2004. You know what they say - even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

I'm not sure if you're playing along or if you took me seriously now.

I took you seriously, yes. Mostly because that's this is often said quite seriously.

As above, you really need to find out about global channels to see the bulk of teaming that happens.
I don't suffer from altitis, I enjoy every minute of it.
Thank you Devs & Community people for a great game.
So sad to be ending ):
Based on the title, I thought this thread was some sort of reference to three 6 mafia or pimp toons.
'Its hard out here for a pimp' and all that nonsense.

"when a stalker goes blue side, assassination strike should be renamed "bunny hugs", and a rainbow should fly out" -Harbinger-
Also, take into consideration that many people have switched sides and that most "villains" are playing heroside to take in the content there. Just because only 7 villains show up in each villainzone doesn't mean that there aren't any rogues/vigilantes that are around, willing to team.

Let's Dance!
The game's heavily instanced.
Hero-side is easier and more rewarding, on the whole. There's been at least a moderate amount of "redside flight" with play characters, if not with RP characters, and the latter will be found primarily in bases or pocket D. I wish the devs would release stats on what percentage of villains changed to hero, versus hero that changed to villain.
"Experience is the mother of good judgement. Bad judgement is the father of experience."
Why does it seem so dormant and lifeless? I just resubscribed this weekend, (playing on the Virtue server) and there were like 7 people max on each villain map and only began to pick up hero side by Sunday. I myself did the BAF trial, but I'm not a big believer in CoX endgame content (doesn't strike me the end-game type).
Has anyone else experienced this?
