Return of Reckoning

As the title asks, I just started playing this game. What are the peak hours? When I was getting my download situated it said there were only like 166 people online. For how much hype from everyone on youtube I see this game constantly get that seems drastically low, so I assume the game gets more active around it's peak hours?

Most of the player base is in Europe, so their evening is primetime. During the weekends the population is +1000. NA primetime is usually 350-500 depending on the day. The population is quite healthy.

Peak hours are basically around 6-10pm cest. I usually don't look at the numbers but it seems healthy enough when I play. Less people will play during the summer though and start playing again during autumn.

If you play early NA and Oceanic/SEA times do yourself a favour and go Order. Playing Dest during those times is an exercise in constant losing. I started with Dest mains, now switched to Order during those times and I'm having way less frustration and more fun.

PVE door till fort in Vanguard vs WB/party is way less frustrating but not "more fun"
