Maybe the low population is because many players don't even know about the new dungeon. Lower level characters seem to be congregating in Eden doing the signpost quests. Spend some time in there and you'll start to realize that most players do not read forums, wiki or even patch notes. Unless I missed it, there is nothing in game that suggests there is a new dungeon for lower levels to try out.
The blackboard above the signposts in Eden is the "Current Events Board." If you click on it, it will tell you about current events. Right now it lists the mother's day quest, Overlook water dungeon, and the drop penalty holiday.
It's a little nondescript. I didn't even know it was there until I just checked. I went in to go check things out because I was thinking they could update that texture regularly so that the board actually listed current events, but I think that might be too complicated. Maybe instead they could have the blackboard say something like "CURRENT EVENTS BOARD" or "CLICK FOR CURRENT EVENTS" rather than just showing a random diagram and some unreadable text.
