Multiplayer servers dead?

I just got the game and after completing the tutorial and finishing some of the campaign I decided to hop into multiplayer. I tried picking all the modes across all different regions across different days and times of days and I can't seem to find anyone which is playing the multiplayer. Am I doing something wrong or is no one playing this game and the multiplayer servers are all just dead.

    Strangely I still find crowded GW1 servers. I'm happy about that, I love that game!


    All this time later, and still the best. Proof that the K.I.S.S. theory is legit.

     Like GW2, they're definitely playing the portal events and TT. I jumped into TT about 8 central last night and got a full 12v12 match.

    As far as them merging NA east and west, not sure when they did that but it used to be good to switch late at night from east to west to get full matches.

    I've got to think that the main issue for PC players is all the serious performance issues many still have. I haven't seen a single hacker in this game unlike GW1 and 2, which is good as apparently the hacking in those games has gotten worse.

    @Wwardlord1995 What region are you? Xbox Europe is usually ok. Not as busy in all modes as it could be, but daytime & evenings have lobbies in the main modes.

    @Wwardlord1995 I'm surprised it's quiet there, I thought there was a bigger player-base in the US. There do seem to be more children & less adults playing BFN than you'd find in GW & GW2, so the time of day you're playing might be an issue. You might want to try joining games in another region - there's an option to change the regional server in the multiplayer portal. The ping will be higher obviously, but quite often that doesn't cause significant lag - if Europe's quiet late evening I've often joined the NA server. Might be worth a try 🤷‍♀️

    I have been playing on North American West server as that one has about a 77 ping. Every other region has a high ping and even that server is quite sometimes
