I suppose there really isn't a way to absolutely find out.
I'm asking because I recently logged on ESO and there wasn't anyone.
I like instances. I hate waiting on shit to respawn. I hate competing with people for resources. I don't mind seeing people running around doing their own shit in towns or even around the game world so long as it doesn't interfere with what I'm doing. With instances I can group with people and interact with them if I want to.

I'd say SW:TOR, LOTR: online, and even The Secret World might have decent player bases in them (maybe TSW because how it uses one server).
Beauty of UO was that:
Resources didn't spawn in random "nodes" that forced people to "compete" for ones that randomly pop up.
You want ore? You went to a mine where there logically was ore (Who'd think it!). You want wood? Well there's forests, with trees, you chopped the trees. You didn't have to wait for some super-magical "Tree" that randomly spawned.
You are probably talking about EQ more in terms of what you didn't like, with it's rare-spawns and super-long respawn times on things that literally could have you waiting behind other people for HOURS to (hopefully) get the spawn you are looking for.
I haven't played SW:TOR sinc elaunch, but my character seems to have been moved to a different server (one that is no where near the most populated atm), didn't they have free server transfers? I can't seem to transfer unless I pay for it .
I don't know if they had free transfers or not. I believe they did within a specific window. I've been a subscriber since launch and never had a free transfer. I think the only people that did were APAC players who got those transfers as a result of their servers being completely shut down.
I believe the transfers are only 90 cartel coins which isn't a lot of money. Which server were you thinking about going to?
My characters from launch are on prophecy of the five which seems to be no where near the population as a server like the Harbringer.
Though from what I am looking at it seems like no PVP servers are that populated anymore?
Taht's why I was thinking of transferring to Harbinger for the new expansion dropping in October or so for subscribers.
I play a healer type in all MMO. I do have SWTOR and a scoundrel healer from way way way back. If I fired her up again what is a good to great populated server? I'm not hard core arena pvp, but I do like jumping in battle grounds (I know that's the the term used in SWTOR). I'd sub for a bit. New expansion in October? Maybe a great time to check it out again. What's a good website for it these.days?
There may be an error with my ESO files, that may be preventing my seeing other toons.
I'm also considering D3 just to play.
I'm no really the person to answer this, I haven't played SW:TOR since a couple months after launch.
I was interested in coming back because of the Fallen Empire expansion coming out:

Was using this site to gauge the population health of the servers:

Harbinger seems the most populated.
Instances ruined MMO's. It has turned them into lobby based multiplayer games at end game.
I respect your opinion on instances, and you're obviously in the majority based on game popularity over the last 15-20 years...BUT, what you're talking about isn't really a massively multiplayer game. It's more of a single-player game.
I've always been kind of hoping for innovation regarding how everyone can co-exist on one server in one world with high levels of interactivity.
Star Wars Galaxies did resources well too. You had to survey for minerals, find an area with a good concentration and then build an extractor. Then as others discovered the area they would put one down too, eventually you had a field full of mining equipment. The resource maps would change every so often keeping things fresh without being too much of a time sink.
My swtor server seems fairly busy. It is worth it to sub for a month if you have the free time. They have 12x exp for just the class stories going on for subs I've done two classes and working on a third over the past 3 weeks. You can skip all the planet story lines or not. So leveling is super easy and fast right now.
The problem I see now with MMO's is the LFG or LFR finder that has literally wiped any social interaction with strangers. It's look at a menu click and boom your in the instance. This eliminates any sort of exploration or social interaction especially cross server grouping

Whoa. That's an intro. Nice.

Are you on Harbinger?
What I enjoyed most about SW:TOR (when I played it) were teh group-story quests, the ones where it was presented like a bioware style storyquest with dialogue/voice acting and choices to make. however I found there to be waaaaaaay too few of these, I thought these were the "Bread and butter" style the game did better then other mmo's but at release there were but a few and usually far apart.
Have they added many more?
What is APAC? Is that a guild? As a returning player what server would you recommend?
