Technical question: why am I encountering less players out in the world since prepatch?

Prior to the pre-patch everywhere I went the zones (especially lower lvl) were bursting with people. Since pre-patch its rare I see anyone of either faction when I’m out farming for herbs in the world. But the queues are massive. Even the capital cities feel emptier compared to pre-patch.

Please don’t flame just looking for a technical explanation. Did the new patch allow for more layers or were more implemented, and thus leading it to feel emptier despite the queues?

-Thx.

Even more layers being spun up means everyone is diluted out. Since usually when you log in you’re put on the least populated layer, that’s likely why. At least I’m guessing
