Server Population is GROWING!

A non-linear massive open world game, one where you are not tunnelled down any given path, freedom to wander. freedom to level where you want.

I've played many MMORPGs (age will remain anon! ).. and to be honest. They have never felt Linear, tunnel driven, static... my List include (SWG, EQ2, WoW, Conan, Vanguard, Rift.....).. whilst I've played these I've always felt as though I’ve been part of something big, real....

I can walk out of Stormwind.. walk straight through Childville (or whatever it's called.. it's been so long I forget it's name....), carry on across the fields and over a river. Now this is where it gets tricky... dodge the highish level wolves n spiders, and so on... but it's safer to go left or right... it's just open to explore.... Same with Rift, EQ2, SWG...... I remember, starting WoW in the good old Vanilla days and me and my mate would dare to explore as far as we could. It seemed endless, off the beaten track and all!

TOR gives the impression of openness, but it's not... people see an MMO as an escape to there normal lives, to exist in a seamless world/universe/Galaxy... I mean come on the planets are that small I did em in no time.... Alderan was a little more open granted, and Hoth.. but most others are way to small, I felt like I was wearing blinkers, and guided down each path.. I wanted to explore, discover.. be adventurous.. It felt like I was in a shoe box and wanted to punch the sides out!! I felt claustrophobic!
Space? Don’t make me larf!!

Granted the general MMO definition is:
MMO

1.(online gaming) A massively multiplayer online game. A computer game in which a large number of players can simultaneously interact in a persistent world.
2.(colloquial) A massively multiplayer online role-playing game.

But it's in my view loosley based on what most people generaly expect from an MMO, true MMO that is.

Visually SWTOR is superb, if not static. But it's not a true open world mmo... perhaps later things'll change. I do like the game as well, but itbasically KOTOR3 with some online play.. a bit like ermmm Battlefield 3, ermmm MW3.... and so on. So yeah for the not so fussy, I suppose it's a little like an MMO....

If you played some of those above mentioned MMOs you'd get what, I'm failing to get at...

One of the silliest things ever posted on these forums.

By your OWN example let us consider the following.

Let us take the very same walk you are taking. Leave stormwind and continue walking in any direction.

Though it may take you a few minutes longer you will run into EXACTLY the same thing you do in TOR. An invisible wall that kills you.

Friend it isn't that there are no rails in WoW, it's just that the tunnel is bigger.

This game is every bit as much an MMO as the people who play it choose to make it.

It is getting very tiring to see people claiming it is not an MMO when it clearly is. You concede this fact with your own words in this post.

Just stop being silly and find another hobby.


Also, Space Slug has seen continued and steady growth since Beta. It has nothing to do with what they cap the servers at, numbers are numbers and they are getting bigger.

I'm really sorry the game is succeeding when so many of you have so much invested in its failure. Perhaps a new hobby is in order. I suggest standing outside of the grocer and yelling about how terrible Broccoli is.

Or maybe standing outside of a restaurant you don't particularly like and screaming at everybody who enters. Tell them how horrible the place is because you said so. See how that goes over.

This just means more people have been hitting 50 and are afk'ing/waiting for queues on the fleet because there is no reason for them to be anywhere else.

***, I logged on 10 mins after the servers came up and there where 10 people in the fleet, this game is dying!111oneoneone1!

You realize that once someone buys the game, they're not going to buy it AGAIN? Do you even know how to interpret the information you posted?

Of course weekly sales are going to steadily decline after launch week. Did you mean this to look bad for SWTOR? 2.1M sales looks pretty darn good to me!

So basically, if the fleet population is dropping, it's because less people are playing the game... but if the fleet population is growing, it's because less people are playing the game.

So no matter what the population is on the fleets, you're saying it's a sign that less people are playing the game?

If there are that many people on the fleet, then they wouldn't be waiting for queues, as there are enough to fill the queues.

Fleet used to only have about 50-60 republic players, but now during prime time has over 100!

As BW releases more copies of the game, more players log in.

Tis a good day.
