Anyone Feel Like This game Is Dead?

The problem isn't a lack of people, its the fact that they have WAY too may servers so the pop is spread out too much. Some of the smaller servers need to be merged.

Not at all. Last night, on The Harbinger, there were consistently over 200 people on the Republic Fleet and over 200 people consistently on Coruscant...and that was still happening at midnight West Coast time.

Don't think Ilum population is a good measuring stick for any server given the Ilum issues and with Republic being out-numbered so heavily. Some people don't enjoy being spawn-camped and ganged up on by groups 3 times bigger than their own. So you're probably seeing people staying away from Ilum more for now and avoiding such "hardcore" PVP'ing....and yes, the quotes are sarcastic.

I probably has less years left in life compared to you but I aint dead...

And for me the game is alive and kicking just like I am in rl!

RE: game feeling dead

I found the heroic quests fun to group (pug) up to about Tatooine. After that it was far too costly in terms of time to find a group, and ugly repair bills if the group suffered much.

With heroic quests, I would just turn off the tracker as I collected them and then abandon all the heroic quests when the normal and class quests were completed for that planet. What a shame too, because I'd love to know what I missed out on but I wasn't interested in spamming general with "LFG" and wiping to put a dent in my efforts to pay for class training. I just hit 44 and still don't have enough credits for the level 40 speeder training or a speeder. I can't imagine how far back in creds I'd be if I attempted the heroics along the way.

Even in a pretty active guild, it seems folks don't group much until they all hit 48-50 for the dailies. The game feels like a huge single player experience where you randomly see another player running by at times. It also amazes me how often three to four folks are all competing for the same quest objective while solo instead of grouping up.

It felt like a very fun and busy MMO up to about level 18, then everyone seems to split off and do solo grinding and return to grouping at 48.

All I can say is that since hitting level 50 I have done the dailies on Belsavis and Illum every day....usually during EST primetime and I am lucky if I ever run across another imperial let alone a republic. Most ive seen on the fleet during primetime is 45-50.

Something is off for sure......what I see in game just doesn't match up to the "numbers/success" EA/BW are claiming.

The 'world' just feels empty and quiet.

There were 80 something lvl 50 republics on my server last night and based on one of those server websites I'm on the smallest of the west-cost PvP servers, so I'd say the game is doing pretty well.

Once again for the thinking impaired, the problem isn't a lack of people, its too many servers.

That's my guess for a large part of it anyway. I notice it particularly with flashpoints. I'd be up for doing flashpoints but if I'm on Voss, I never see anyone looking for one because most of those people are on the fleet and our channels are segregated.

EU player here.

At launch I joined a server that was heavy pop and had queue from time to time. Today its a normal pop server and it feels really empty.

So yesterday I decided to reroll to a new server that still shows heavy pop and finally it starts to feel like a mmo.

To many servers at launch so some of them will become ghost towns.

I feel like I should educate people to a thing called different play times, time zones, work, school.

Sorry your server doesn't have people playing 24/7. It means nothing though. The actual server populations have barely changed.
