oh right. Not happening.

We're actually down from the 22nd. Stop making stuff up.

The two dips on the 20th and 1st are from server caps being raised. After that you can see a slow but steady drop in players. This is bad. It's not a catastrophic situation, but it's definitely going in the wrong direction.

This.
Simply because one criticizes the game doesn't mean that one doesn't like the game. In most cases, criticism comes from those who like the game but want to improve the game. Be less hostile to those who advocate for improvements.
Enough with the loot treadmills. Can we get something a little different?

That is my biggest concern about the future of the game. I didn't expect everyone to quit en masse on January 20, but I have a hard time thinking a lot of the people who are into the story aspect of the game will continue to subscribe once they complete them around the 2-4 month mark.

Server status pages like the SWTOR one can be easily mannipulated to show it to be more successful than it really is for financial reasons. When I see actual numbers instead of Light/Standard/Heavy i'll believe it.

Don't be so gulible

Considering they can change what constitutes light/medium/heavy/etc at will, I take what those say (in any game, not just this one) with a whole bucket of salt. Until MMOs start showing actual server population numbers those status pages are useless for anything but relative population.

Of course I know, no MMO will ever give actual numbers again.

Less than half the servers in NA have hit heavy today.

Contrast that to last week when it was about 60% at this time and almost 75% at peak. Where do these delusional posts come from?

A whole bucket of salt would actually be worth something. :P

You spend a lot of time living inside your imagination, don't you. Like if you keep saying it enough it will actually become reality, despite the evidence to the contrary?

Oh, you are one of those "This isn't an MMO" ppl?

lol

I guess the only way you know how to group is to have a tool instantly port you to a place that has other players waiting for you?



beer is good.
