On Virtue, there seem to be some people in Atlas Park usually. Apart
from the costume contests, it is also a good place to do Hero and
Vigilante tips. These missions usually unfold in the zone where you
investigate them, although some few will send you to another zone.
Atlas park has short travel distances and a number of people, so it is
not uncommon for this use. Talos is also used. The new level 20
Praetorians tend to start their career there, so there are usually
tips missions and radio missions.
Rikti War Zone seems to often have 2 instances on Virtue, so I assume
it is pretty well frequented. I mostly avoid it though.
I don't play 50es at the time, so I don't know, but I assume a lot of
people are doing the new high end content in order to farm incarnate
shards. The arrival of the Incarnate system has made end-game content
more popular. As far as I know, incarnate salvage only drops from
enemies at level 50 and above.

I'm still on, now and then, although lately I confess I have been
playing Oblivion. Ahhh sweet eyefinity....

A lot of people will still be at the holiday chateau as the winter event was
extended until the end of Jan.

I was in the chateau this week and was surprised how empty it was I'm
not sure folks realize it's still open, I know I didn't, I only knew
because I logged into a toon that logged out there

Ditto, I was surprised by that a few days ago.

So, is everyone over in the new zone or just using the old zones as portals
to the new content? No one's playing any part of the existing game at all?

Waah.

Also on Virtue, Talos and Peregrine Islands are generally well populated.
Brickstown and Founders a little less.
