That's what the "Active Players" link on the left is for. It brings up a graph showing the relative volume of people playing throughout the last week.

Depends on what you mean by busy; a lot of players could be on but chat could be quieter than if fewer vocal-social players were playing, if the active players were mainly newbies, mobile users, or guild ninjas. Pizzasgood mentioned the Active Players Graph; just make sure to hit "refresh" in your browser to get the most recent version. Crazyspence also made this chat stats page a while back that looks like it is still getting updated. I like it because it shows how certain players tend to chat only at certain times, while others are more evenly spread across the 24-hour cycle.

You may run into a lot of players in the training sectors and capitols if Guild Software is running a promotion for new people to join. You may also find a higher concentration of players at certain stations that are in unique locations (Sedina D-14 is the nearest Corvus station to 2 of the major nations, Edras Command is the only station in a system that links 2 national territories together, etc.), or stations that offer unique items, commodities, or missions. Wormhole sectors have a lot of traffic passing through, but they tend to only wave or stay long enough to make sure you're not a pirate (unless they themselves are pirates, in which case get ready for action!).

Events are held at certain times and places. In those cases you can expect to see a lot of players gathered together in one spot. Here are a couple video examples of what an organized event might look like, from my perspective:

Escort and Rescue

Nation War 346

Hope that helps.

Actually, it has been rewritten, and is working with new data now.

You were also in game less than 48 hours ago.

Yup, I can confirm it is running again. It's quoting something I just said recently.
