I've found also that the time you play at is very important. For me, I've noticed that from 4:00 PM (central) onward it's easier to get a party. There's usually more people on. Of course, there's always slow days. Even on weekends I don't suggest getting up early in the morning to party all day long. You could wait for a party for a long time. If you want to party for a long time, stay up late into the next morning.
