To add to that, NPCs in Conan just stand there, they do not feel alive. The merchants, blacksmiths, towns people etc, etc in towns are all standing and doing nothing. The only guys that move around are guards.
Most people in the game solo since you can solo your way easily from 1-80 if you wanted to. There were only 2-3 dungeons I needed help with from LVL 1-62 before I quit. Its not a very party up game, people only party the bare minimum they can.
So, to me at least the game felt like a ghost town many times that I logged in. Couldn't find people to party and didn't see many people in zones, it was boring. I was on Deathwhisper PVP server(most popular) and also a very popular PVE server with another character, same thing on both.

While I understand where you're coming from, there are some things I have to disagree with.
First of all, maybe I'm just used to other games, but even with the instancing areas would still seem crowded to me. Or maybe it just seemed crowded to me because every step I toke someone was trying to gank me...
I don't know where you got that NPC part... have you ever been to Old T? There are little kids playing tag in the streets, pedestrians yelling at and booing a criminal who's about to be executed, and people all over the streets casually walking around and chatting with other NPC's. I loved that city just because it seemed so alive.
And I also solo'd until around level 40. But I found that it isn't very hard to get a party for an instance. Everyone is always looking to do Sanctum, and fun instances like it. But it also is very possible, and very boring, to solo the entire game.
