Definitely noticed a drop in players in all areas. Don't think they will merge servers, it is a major sign of weakness. Then again, if they don't those on empty servers will feel compelled to leave.
It is also 32 bit only, and the build being used in swtor is dx9 only.
And yet, it seems to use a lot of system resources for very poor performance.
What?
Lotro was released in 2007. Used dx9. Then dx10 came out, they added dx10, then dx11 came out, they added dx11.
Swtor was released in 2011. Uses dx9... what?
This reeks so much of desperation it's not even funny. Bad move. Rewarding those with early access I can see, but "please subscribe, we'll give you something" is just horribly needy.
unbelievers? That term just proves that you fanboys are all just mindless brainwashed drones. What exactly should we believe in?
It's clear to anyone with a brain that there are huge issues with this game, pretending they don't exist will only accelerate this game's downfall.
