How busy is it when a new chapter releases?

Inyhel · May 2023

Hello folks. I'm thinking of getting the new Necrom chapter/ expansion, but I really hate sharing my quests with a dozen randos.
Is is mad busy in the first few weeks? I'm on the EU server. Thanks.

Greetings,

This thread has been moved to the Players Helping Players section, as it is better suited there.

Thank you for your understanding.

Which EU server? PC? Yeah, it'll be busy in the new zones. First few weeks sounds about right.

Very busy early on. I take advantage of that time to get all the world bosses and group events. But like you, I don't like busy zones for questing so I then leave the zone and come back after things quiet down to do the quests.

It 100% depends on how many instances they make for the new zones. For High Isle, I saw very few other players while doing the quests the first week because of how many instances of High Isle they opened.

Which was a nice change, because usually it's packed so full that I don't even want to do the quests for like two weeks.

Ps5eu, worldbosses, cities, public dungeons, delves, world events are stacked with players when a new zone release, but that is fun in my opinion
