Yep Zorai does have a smaller population, but we are still quite numerous. A lot of teams and guilds are out in the surrounding zones so looking around Cities of Intuition it can seem a bit empty.. Our guild is picking up new recruits though, so the population is growing all the time..

Leanon:
Fyros: Most populated continent
Matis: Yes there are many matis there
Tryker: They are cute - but many leave to skill in other countries or the roots
Zorai: These are strange people and their country is the least populated.

So the same situation as on Windermeer and Arispotle
Two weeks ago I created two a new char for every race to check for newcomers:
Many Fyros, many Matis, some Tryker but no Zorai (during a weekday), on weekend a few (5) Zorai.

Tryker: they all drowned... i think

LOL!
Trykers cant drown... we can breath underwater! Drowning is for Zorai, Matis and Fyros!

And read Neun's post how to find us... Or just look around in your own
lands, because we tryker travell a lot. Except for Zorai that is... Blue is the collor of water, not of people, so we dont trust them!

I bellive Zorai is unpopulated because of the masks.

The masks make them look the same except for body shape and height, even gender can be hard to tell in many cases unless you look more closely.

A Zorai could skip moding the head all together because in the end people cant visualy tell any real difference besides that one Zorais mask has blue dots and red lines and someone else has blue dots and orange lines.

The other races have alot more varried looks.

That's a very good point Strand, and I think you've hit the nail on the head, as it were. Zorai do all look very similar - in fact I can only recognise the players I know by their armour at a distance, but I never really thought about it like that before.

Mind you, with so many melee players wearing full heavy armour including a helmet, I guess it's the case with all races from that point of view. And, a homin from Fyros looks very much like a Zorai (especially if they're tall) when wearing Zoran Heavy Armour - or the 'twig suit'

I think most of us Zorai (me included) are currently in Fyros, mostly courtesy of event teleporters. Since Zorai is a bit underpopulated, I guess a lot of people enjoy the company over in Fyros, and since most skills can be levelled anywhere, have no immediate reason to return home. It's a bit sad really, because it won't help the population in Zorai at all. For me, Fyros is actually more familiar than Zorai, since I played in OB from April - all players started in the Fyros lands, and I didn't actually see Zorai until near the end of OB. For me, the fun of collecting DP wandering to Dyron and Thesos is a fond memory, whose return I welcome
