Is Warhammer Gold Dead Already?

I already miss the days when Warhammer online Gold was filled with people and servers had plenty of people to group with. Believe it or not, I miss the days when I had to wait forty minutes to get into my server, because that's what Warhammer Gold is all about. It's not about playing alone and fighting monsters by yourself to gain levels, it's about playing with other people and working together. The good days were when the pre-order members were playing, and public quests had thirty people working together in a giant warband to complete the task as fast as possible. When you could join a queue and instantly find a scenario to play in. When it was easy to find a guild where you could go on at three in the morning and find enough people for a keep siege. But has Warhammer died already? Sure, there is still a large population on the game, but with the chain effect of the game's quality decreasing when the players leave, is it destined to fail in the next couple months?..

If you think I'm crazy, go on the majority of the servers and try finding a scenario or public quest party from the existing population at any time other than 9:00 p.m. Eastern. Sure, you might find them in the early levels, but tier 3 and above are almost impossible to find a queue. I reached rank 21 a week ago and am still sitting comfortably at that rank because I find it boring to do anything other than RvR. I have done several quests and gained about 50% from that, and 25% for pure grinding. But I don't feel like journeying to other cities right now to find more boring quests to do on my own. I realized that in tier 3 I can gain about 3-4% just by doing a scenario, not even including the experience I get from the scenario itself. The problem is, I have gotten one scenario in about four hours of total wait time. No, this is not at three in the morning, it's near peak time in the afternoon after people are home from work and school and ready to relax.
