Server Population is GROWING!

I think Damion Schubert actually was referring to YOU.

I've been seeing my server grow as well by looking at the Fleet numbers. It used to be around 170 during primetime now its been over 220+ recently.

Having 100 fleet players isn't great during prime time.

I struggle with understanding how the sub base can really be growing when TOR didn't even crack the TOP 40 in US game sales for the week of 2/4. It sold less than 9,000 copies in the US. Overall it was the 28th best selling game globally. I struggle to see how those sales would keep up with cancels.

Now you made me lol, so I'll spell it out for you.

There are a ton of threads being started that state the EXACT same thing save they are saying the the population is dropping.

This thread was created to help visualize how that comparison is both inaccurate and overall a sad attempt at being a doomsayer.

(I thought the link I had implanted in my response to you would have been enough.)

A lot of new players are joining late like me. I just started my acct. 9 days ago.

Real sign will be the 6 month mark. Also there are some big titles nearing release like Mass Effect & Diablo 3 which is going to occupy SWTOR gamers. Heck even Blizzard is worried about their own game D3 when they offered a free copy of D3 if WoW subscribers committed to a full year subscription, lol.

Welcome

I don't click links from random people. Also, sarcasm doesn't come across as well as idiocy does. I took it for what it was. Good work, I guess?

I hope you're enjoying the game.
It would be in your best interest to ignore the forums as there are still a lot of doomsayers and 'they sky is falling' trolls out here.
Or you can be like me and feed them/starve them and ultimately lol at them.
It's fun to do when I can't be in game.

I think those doomsayers don't understand that they have no facts to back up there claims other than a subjective personal experience.

For every person that says "it looks like population dropped a lot!" you have someone with my experience and the OP's - republic side pop has BOOMEd in the last 1-2 weeks going from 4-50 in coruscant at peak hours to over 100 regularly at peak hours with a subsequent increase in fleet population.

My experience with server population does not "prove" pop is rising anymore than someone with the opposite experience proving numbers dropped.

Unless your Riddickz who said hahahah 1.7 mil subs is less than they had in December - and does not get why that makes no sense - there are no numbers outside of torstatus(and i have no idea how reliable they are) to go on
