From my best auction times… I say 5pm est - 9pm est everyone home from school or work at that time
Weekends all day
Holidays low population those days
Matter fact now that I think about itbthe peak times are VERY similar to the peak times at the planet fitness gym except instead of working out getting gains they glued to the computer screen :P
There are services like https://steamcharts.com/app/317110 or https://steamdb.info/app/317110/graphs/ which used to be more useful when UWO was on steam, however I can't find any that would store detailed hourly data for back then, it currently shows something very averaged. From my experience, the peak time has no great difference, especially considering how many people afk, but judging by merchant chat activity, it feels like EU & east US evenings (combined) have more activity. I'm in Europe. Probably more people from Asia were playing back in the days.
if 5pm-10pm in Europe, that would be approximately 12noon-5pm USA EDT (where I live), which may explain a lower UWO Maris server population when I finally get home from work by around 7pm USA EDT,
...
lower server population circa 7pm-12midnight USA EDT ...
... shhhh, easy pickings for adventuring discoveries.
Why the population declines? And despite more & more content added over time, why did Chinese, Japanese, & Europeans leave English-language UWO server over years 2013-2017?

Since then population declined. First the Chinese left, then the Japanese, then the European. In 2017, it was mainly just US players left.
Not sure about now, but i can hardly imagine any improvement made over the last status quo in 2017
