And that abortion that was called swg doesn't count.

SWG an abortion(I trust you meant aberration)? Which was 1000x the MMO this is.


This is like Kotor with online chat functionality, arcade games and some pvp.


There are plenty of games like this one, heck even made by the same company.

Have a look at this data, someone has recorded server status over time.

http://www.swtorarena.com/statistics

Population semms to be going down continously. In Europe we got the same problem.
The game starts to feel like a real single player game.

people are actually arguing that there hasn't been a significant drop in players??? On Sith Mediation, the republic side normally by about 2am cst has under 100 players TOTAL on, past week. but back in December at 2am there would be 100 people on the main fleet station at that hour. At the start of January i chalked it up to people getting back to work/school, but now this are just looking pretty bleak on republic side, i know empire on my server has about 3X the population (i know this because i have a level 1 there i check /who with on different planets just to compare with republic)....

I dunno if we just have a lot of casual republic players, but honestly it seems a LOT less busy than it was when the game 1st opened, i hope things pick back up though, but i will say starting the 1st paid month with a ruinous pvp "patch" (i would call it more of a cluster F) and now the next patch introduces nerfs on one of the least played classes, yet most complained about... i dunno.. things just aren't looking very pretty.

You would think some of the guys from mythic that are working with bioware on this would realize, complaints are one thing, every class complains when they die to another, but really should never balance a class by pvp alone or you will end up ruining their pve ability too...

Why would you claim something that everybody on EU know is wrong? Pretty stupid.
Dash your right i am on Hidden Beks one of the heaviest populated server in the game in Europe atm and its 1 of only 2 servers which has been heavily populated all week during prime times all this week. And i should know i have been off work all week.

Population is down anyone who denies this is deluded or works for Bioware. Most EU servers during our prime time which is from 4pm-11pm GMT appear normal or light. Which is great for me as no more waiting to get in but bad for the game in general.

There's also the fact that minesweeper requires more intellect, while being more challenging than the pve in this game. The only actual difficulty in pve comes from bugged content (lol).

Credits = even less use than pve gear.

Players have zero influence on the world. It's just 100% predetermined, static, lifeless box corridor, where the only end game content is 3x miniature warzones, doing pvp where skill is largely irrelevant.



Someone doesn't know how to use the /who panel.
Then leave already its obviously not the game for you

Server both sides has been chocka since day 1 wz popping at 3am ftw

No, I was looking for abortion.

As in, aborted, cut loose, rejected.

Pre the first major patch the game was good, being a Jedi meant something, but afterwards. Meh...

And it wasn't 10x the game this is. Swg and eve are both sandbox, they are what you and your friends make of them, but they don't have their own story, not like this game does.

Eve is my second job, this game is my relaxation.

Already did.

It's actually your problem, not mine.

Doh... that... does not look pretty, i figure they must be making assumption based on the "text" indication the server's population???

All that is gonna happen is bioware is gonna change that text to normal or full, just watch it happen
