Or has become bugged (i.e. Soa <3)




And alot of people don't want it to fail, it just IS failing. One or two of the really high populated servers may not see a problem, because people will go for the higher pop servers on creation. But the smaller ones, they're the servers that are suffering.
Until Bioware comes out and says we have 1.3million instead of 1.7million we truly do not know what the exact number is. When they released the 1.7million they said they were growing so...

Stupid question.

I subbed for 6 months, and just got billed about 5 days ago (91$). Anyway, after thinking about it, I'm not really up-to paying anymore than that for this game. So I've decided to cancel my sub a play out my 6 months finishing up the stories.

Question is, if I cancel now, I will still have those 6 months I paid for, right?

Just asking in-case of a surprise.. The CS is notoriously bad for EA products.

Sunday Afternoon peak time in Europe so lets have a look at the English servers:

0 Full
2 Heavy
4 light
The rest standard

Sorry m8 but the population is dropping like a stone. 4 weeks ago many of the servers were heavy, some full and none light.

Yes... you play out the remainder of the time you paid for. I unsubbed and still have access for about another week. I pretty much expect BW to try and soak up a few more subs with the new patch... but ultimately SWTOR will be sent to the MMO graveyard when D3 and GW2 hit.

Of course they were growing; their reference was from zero subscriptions.

Well, they can say what they want, but they have 215 servers..

With 1,000,000 it would suposidly be about 4651 players to each server (Im pretty sure this isn't the case, and yes that would include people who are not on at the same time I know)

1,300,000 would be 6046 players average per server

1,700,000 would be 7906 players average per server

I've been checking my server count and its been going down from the beginning of the game (averaging out at about 1000 Empire : 730 Republic all the way down to 600 Empire : 370 Republic - rough stats admittedly) but at peak times with them having "1.x million people" - they have too many servers to choose from. Some servers are more populated than others.

It doesn't matter if they have 1.7 million people or even more - if there are too many servers to choose from, people will be scattered all over the place, and some servers will die, others will flourish.

Free merges / server transfers - or something "FREE" needs to be done, there's only so long you can keep holding on thinking "things will get better" when its just a downhill spiral.

Yeah, just unsubbed. I got 154 days left (Oh boy). I'll finish up the stories and move on I guess.

Hell'va sad ending for me, though. This game looked (Right up until I played it lol) the type of game for me (Lore, Story being the biggest aspect, Immersive). Just came up way short.

And I don't have faith EA/Mythic can get it on track.

Hopefully GW2 turns out better.

This is not a hard concept to understand.
Yes, I agree that people should not deny that there is no major problem.

Though the double negative seems a bit redundant.

If you say the servers are empty during the week people say everyone is at work, if you say they are empty on a weekend they say people are watching football. I love it, I really love it as I know they are squirming in their seat, some may even be shedding a tear or two as they try to think of an excuse.

TODAY THE SERVERS ARE EMPTY BECAUSE EVERYONE HAS BIRD FLU KK
