A little over 1.5 months into HC launch. How are server populations holding up?

I rolled on HC Defias on release date, made it to 35, then died. Started another char, and made it to 52. How do you guys feel the server populations in HC are holding up?

IMO they are still doing well, and populated... But the starting areas aren't nearly as busy (Can do 1H 50M to lvl 10 pretty easily).

Do you think the servers are starting to quiet down on new players/go aganes?
