I was asked to repost this in the Idea forum:
Level of local activity indicator?
Just wondering if a streets current level of activity in terms of players present could be indicated somehow? Perhaps a "tinting" of the paths displayed while viewing the world map... It could be beneficial to both players that want to interact with other players and those who are feeling anti-social at the moment, and to avoid lag...
For example, a tinting of the path to the green side, varying in intensity when there is little activity, and a tinting to the red end of the color spectrum when there's a boat-load of players interacting.
