The Swiftsure was only used as a comparison to server population due to the other servers matching it's queues, or having HIGHER queues than it, just a week ago. Now they are Standard, and some are even Light, when they would be 20 minute queues regularly. Swiftsure being queued still means that there was no cap increase, but a player login decrease across the board. Even at prime time playing hours.

The actual number itself is not needed here, simply looking at the population column will tell you the estimated numbers at any given time.

I didn't insult you, I said i disagreed. Why is everyone on this forum so damn angry?

Slow down here. I get that Switfsure's queue was shorter. I get it. I'm saying that now it's sticking out, it may be the very fact that its sticking out that's creating a vicious cycle. This is one of a few possible explanations.
I asked for corroborating evidence on your server. What are the numbers? I think you may be freaking out over something that is not evidenced.

The flipside of this is: If Swiftsure was shorter before they supposedly started increasing server caps, why is it now longer? did they miss it?

I expected it to play out like this because honestly its like any other multiplayer game, including WoW. We actively recruit. 40+ members atm but on only 7-10 or so online at any given time. Peak times we hit 12-15 members. For every 4 players we take in, 1 is daily active in the guild at this time. That number is surprisingly growing though.

To be honest, I prefer it that way. I've gotten to know some of these daily members a bit and it makes coordinating and leveling easier when I know what toons they have and how they choose to play. It's all about filtering actively low players out and retaining the regulars at this point. As anyone, we expect to not have every member on, all the time.

The server I play on is never low or full. About 150 in everyone major area. Not worried abit.
Guild Officer: Stoned (http://teamstm.ca) 25+ DAILY Active Members, 60+ Total Members

I just bought the game this week, and rolled on Tassaa Bareesh EU (imperials).
I'm now level 26 and being sick, I've been playing a _lot_. The thing is, I haven't been able to run flashpoints (Black Talon being an exception) or heroic missions because it's almost impossible to get a group for them. Also it seems like every area I'm at has only a handful of people - for example, in Tatooine there's 23 people with me... And it really feels low.

Haven't you guys had problems getting flashpoint groups, or am I just late to the party?

There hasn't been even one time I couldn't get a party for a group quest, heoric or flashpoint and I didn't even miss one of them. BTW I'm on the Republic Side.

I'm sure there are lots of WoW fanboys in this forum, trying to scatter false information about the game.

I'm waiting for Q4 earning call of Activision Blizzard to laugh at the fact that WoW lost nearly 2 million subs in the last quarter.

When I logged in a few hours ago (US servers) there were a bunch on high and very high population, one or two full. Not sure how some posters claim they are empty whenever they check.

The only trouble I've had getting groups is for Heroics in the Bonus Series quests. A lot of people ignore or skip them.

I have 2 50s, a 42 and a 31 - still not bored, still enjoying the story lines, awaiting patches, etc..

Now that you know this isn't a SWTOR bash thread, or a hate thread, or whatever, I would like to bring a scary observation to you.



If you looked at the server lists a week or two ago, you would see if FILLED with Full (Queues) or Full in general. Now what do you see? Light and Standard on everything... except one.

And this one server, The Swiftsure, is why I don't think they increased server capacity, and people are simply not logging in.

This server had 10-20 minute queues back when all of the servers had similar queues. However, this server still has (as of right now a 50 minute queue) queues, while all of the other servers are now down to Light (Port Nowhere was constantly Full, as well as at least 20 others), and Standard across the board. This even occurs at peak hours.

If they increased server capacity, there would be NO REASON for The Swiftsure's queue times to increase this drastically. Before you say they had a population increase, or something of that nature, think of this:

If they did perform a population cap, then The Swiftsure would balance out like every other similar queued server - it would be down to Standard. However, it increased by 30-40 minute queues. This does not make ANY sense whatsoever.

Hopefully this is not the case, as I stated at the start I love this game and am having fun playing it. I just really hope this isn't the case, but all logic and observation would point to people are just not logging in anymore.
You need a day job. My main is lvl 39 and i play six days a week. Also started playing five days before release.
