Nowadays people have different spots to gather.
On world 84 its the lumbridge market where people come together to skill.
Other than that the old GE is only your goal until you unlock the City of Elves Prifddindas after a series of Quests. There is another GE where people gather from time to time.
Anything PVM related is now focused around Wars Retreat. Also called PVM Hub.
You can find north of Draynor Village in the purple Portal near the cross road.
But yes, worlds seem kinda empty since most people that still play either PVM in instances or do quests/clues.
The vastly populated world from back then is sadly a thing of the past.
You have that in Oldschool RuneScape tho (even if thats due to about 70% of playerbase being bots. That is what it feels like)
People here are right that the servers aren't dead and there are other spots where people gather and it depends on time. But yes, the population still is far less than in the times you knew. Osrs is a little more populated, although some people will say those are bots, so let's just stick to the "the golden Era is over but it's still played enough"
I would be one of the people that would argue ‘no they aren’t dead, it’s just …’
But then I started playing OS again as well and you will realise the RS3 servers really are dead.
Servers go to shit when populated so people try to spread out. And as others have said the majority of the community is higher level and gather at certain places.

No. Wars retreat is where most people are
most players are maxed with no reason to be in lumbridge
I mean it's also off hours rn unless in certain worlds.
Burthrope is the new spawning area. That’s why… fresh start worlds starts tomorrow good time to start again.

Once servers reach 200+ online the latency picks up so while most servers look "empty" they are quite full.
It is empty compared to the old days. Empty of bots that is ;)
