Is it just my game being bugged or something, or is it normal for random encounters to be rare in Beta 3?  I mean, extremely rare.  Like, this is my 3rd game in beta 3, and in all 3 I've had a continent to myself (playing multiple continents, large map) with not one single beastie wandering around, and a grand total of 1 chest and 1 eq pack across all 3 maps.  Hardly any champions either, just the dude you get at start & maybe 2 others shortly after.

I've been trying the Empire civs, so maybe everyone just avoids their side of the world.  Haven't tried kingdoms yet.

Same goes for inns & quests.  They're rare too.  I'll go down the domination tree to open all those quests, and nada....
