Every US Server is standard / light.. what's the deal?

OP is true, don't be a blind kid, during our main play time after work, our server only has 3x ppl on the fleet, what a horrible situation, it used to be 2xx ppl on fleet in 2011.

Some servers are more crowded than others

The issue here is that many people cram the servers at release so you get queues up the wazoo. Then all the people that just wanted to play the first 30 free days and played 50% of their waking hours during that time don't want to pay anymore, so they leave. Or they get bored, or they don't like the game at all (which is fine, just leave, that is the best way to show your dislike), or they were sharing the account among three people and now its only onlie 1/3 of the time. Whatever it is, every MMO launch sees a huge dip after the first month. Nothing to do about it except cope as best you can. Once everyone is at 50, that will help a lot. Casual players willt ake 3-4 months to get to 50.

Yep if you organize by population you will see that 90% of the servers on the NA list are standard or heavy, and as the night progresses more of those servers will turn from standard to heavy.

Your posting stats for a light server, good for you. Whats your point?

I did the same thing on my standard and there were 1000 ppl possibly more over 100 50's so its hard to say. And considering that empire is vastly more populated on my server i would say there would easily be 3000 people across the whole server pop.

nevermind he answered.

Bitter, thanks for coming at me in a nice tone this time. I'm not your enemy, I'm playing the game right along with you.

Now, let me respond to what you said. Server crashes and downtime do not bother me. What does bother me is the ability delay. How could that ever make it out the door? Did they sit in a room with smiles on their faces and go "now this is fluid combat.. this.. this is a winner."? That to me is insulting. We know that didn't happen, and we sort of know they just sort of "threw" it on us and hoped we wouldn't mind. That is insulting to me.

What does bother me is the lack of a LFG / LFR in 2012. I'm sorry, but WoW has accustomed us to certain features. MMO's get their bread+butter from CASUALS. Guys who log in a few hours a day / week and pay their subscription. If they log in and can't find a group, they WILL unsubscribe.

Thirdly, the general "lag" everywhere is bothersome. I have a decent computer. It's beyond decent but I'm being modest. It should handle this game at ultra without blinking, but it does not. That bothers me.

le sigh

When did I say 'go back to WoW' or 'Can I have your stuff', which you stated is EVERY post of mine.
You have failed at search twice.
And now even future content isn't up to par for you.

What is being implied by this horrible charade is that you don't like the game and you want everyone to agree with you.

Is the game perfect, no.
Will it improve, most certainly.

And you pay to beta test EVERY MMO.
They are not static.

Everything I've read from you in this thread reeks of 'This game will fail'.

Sorry you are so full of hate and rage.

Your posting stats for one of the 8-10 light servers on NA OUT OF 100's of NA servers.

Your server population does not represent what a normal server looks like, it represents a very small minority. Im sorry you chose such a **** server.

The op certainly likes to sugarcoat hes negativity though, telling everyone that the server your posting stats on is a Standard server like it was some huge triumph . When in reality you are on one of the 10 servers that are light out of 100+ servers on NA.

strange. you guys chose the wrong server then.

the two servers i play on have more people on fleet/everywhere else every day.


It's true Bioware released too many servers, especially in respect to the lower number of Republic players, but this game is doing really well.

If your server is empty, yes that's too bad. They did release too many servers and the ones that released later also had a much higher percentage of "1 month subscribers" flocking to them I would think.

just wait for server transfers or merges. game isn't dying guys, relax

I'm not full of hate and rage at all. Re-read the thread, and try not to put your own spin on my thoughts when you're reading them in your head. I'm paying for this game and playing right along side you.

I don't feel like I'm paying to beta-test other games / MMO's. The feeling is very, very strong with this. And no, there is no conspiracy theory. My thoughts and opinions are my own. I don't want ANYONE to dislike this game because I say so.. that's a ridiculous thing to even type out. I'm a paying customer, and I'm expressing my thoughts. I'm allowed to.
