Chesapeake may come in 3rd or 4th on population that actually uses fel yet.
There are large guilds fel based, have their own websights etc. rather than use stratics very much. But they are out there. Housing wise fel side is darn crowded pretty full up, can find some spots but may be littered with a row of grandfathered houses in the way as well.
Most all of the older vets are not *chicken* to be travelling to/ nor chicken to remain/ in fel
unlike many of the younger ones. Paxlair still there, 10 yrs old, still active, large fel side player run town / role play town etc. with ..many alliances with Pax and others on Ches.
Ya can still get pkd, oft by the Yew gate there, if in the mood to find someone that may be ye best bet on any other shard to visit any...regular shard felside..check out the old school fel moongates for action...be it yew gate moonglow minoc see whom all is fighting there, or killing there, since their fel facet, has no fel rulesetted Luna etc. like Siege has so less land to go find everyone upon.
But Chesapeake truelly does has a long good standing vet player base be they pvpers or roleplayers or pvmers or tamers etc. all sorts of folks thus...still a lot of old vets there using ALL facets and all land nearly ...and all that land anywhere makes it sometimes hard to find anyone till ya get hooked up with some alliances or guilds..then ya find everyone.
Paxlair has a websight too and that websight can lead ya to just about every guild everyone else nearly on Ches. that may be active fel side.
