I will agree it doesn't feel 'massive' when you look at your planet stats at the top left of your screen and see 60 people playing. Even if it was doubled, with 120 people per planet, i dont see how that's making it feel massive. I think it's due to bioware and the dozens and dozens and dozens of servers. They're worried about lag on the servers so they capped them way too low. I'm hoping in a few months if there isn't a surge in subscribers they will start merging them.

Its more like a single player game with some co-op included. Definately seems like more of a F2P game to me and not worth a subscription.

I'm level 32 and I play on one of the heaviest population servers on the west coast. I've seen one enemy faction player my entire time leveling up. One. On Nar Shaddaa. On the promenade. Let me say that again: One. ONE.

I think that's where people are having problems. 60 or so people is probably not what most consider to be "massively." That's less than a single round of Metro in BF3.

When you find yourself surrounded by hostile Clowns... always go for the "Juggler" first.

That's less than a single round of Metro in BF3. Massively refers to the total population set that could interact together all at once in theory. The reality is that rarely are there more then about a hundred interecting together at the same place at the same time (in any MMO) on a server where there are actually thousands online at once, just in different places doing different things at the same time.
