Title says it all, how come the Tower just looks/feels like a ghost town? There's little to no sound, only a few random NPC's walking around certain areas, and just a whole lot of nothing seems to be going on. Was it due to older console restrictions? Or is the Tower just supposed to feel dead?
Edit: Everyone seems to think I'm talking about actual players in the tower, or the servers being down. I'm talking about what Bungie put in the tower, the NPC's, the vendors, just everything in general. The tower feels empty, even with max players filling the lobby.

Here's how I see it: The Tower is the foundation; essentially a newly renovated castle, where people have just started moving in and haven't fully furnished it yet. NPCs and "traffic" will continue to be added as DLC and expansions are released - it seems sparse now, however, we're still close to the beginning of a 10 year journey with Destiny; I'm assuming that the Tower will be packed with Vendors, Quest Starters, etc. by the time the last expansion comes out. I see the Tower as the proverbial "End of the Beginning": a last ditch effort where Guardians assemble, to help the Traveler fight the Darkness...and we will see the Tower continue to grow and visually change based on the outcome of the war. What do you think? It's complete conjecture, but this is how I prefer to view it. ;-)
