Not many players overall and past days lots of people (or servers) had problems with connection. There are players who still play a lot though, so you can find them at certain times. If you live in US time zone, then after midnight amount of players usually lower and in the morning it is pretty much dead. Later on people start joining/creating games and at noon/evening times there are quite a few to choose from.

If you want, I could join your games, just add me to your friend list and pm (Darkliath_). Sometimes I am just being afk and thinking/waiting who to join, what to play. If someone writes me a message that makes easier for me to decide

There is a page to look at for open/played games.

If you see someone playing since long ago there, you might want to wait for them to finish as usually players from finished games join/host another game after that.
