When you log in, the servers are sorted from lowest to highest population. Freedom and Virtue are the most populous, but you'll have little problem finding teams on any server. At least hero-side. For villains, you might want to move to one of the others, or Protector, which I'm trying to make the unofficial villain server. (Well "trying" in the sense of wanting it to happen but not really doing anything about it.)

The biggest addition in the last year is the Architect Entertainment system, which allows players to create and share missions of their own for virtually unlimited content. The downside is that this has become popular with a lot of people for farming, thus resulting in the opposite - one mission forever. When you log in, you may be tempted to go there, get pulled on a tema, and level up very quickly. If that's what you want then feel free. But some new players have been so pulled in that they failed to realize the rest of the game. So I urge you not to spend all your time in one building when the whole game existed and thrived for years without it.

One upside of the AE - especially if used correctly - is that it allows players of different levels to team together without effort. But even without that it's pretty easy to find a team at any level. And as I said in another post, if you learn about the Task Forces then after level 10 there is always at least one you can earn experience on, and they push people into the same level range to make teaming easier.

The population is pretty good. At least until CO and any other hero games come out, they have a loyal fanbase of people who like the hero genre, as well as some like me who aren't so crazy about comic books but still like the gameplay.
