Server Population is GROWING!

No I called her out for saying something that she knew was a lie. She knew there were only 19 heavy servers but still said that the majority were heavy. 19 is not a majority of 120 or whatever servers.

There is absolute proof to say the population is declining as is there is no absolute proof it is increasing. The only people that know that are not saying a word (Bioware). But if you look at everything and take that into account everything points to the population decreasing.

Things like:

1. All the I quit posts
2. All the my server is dead posts
3. All the OMG we have to have LFG because it takes me 4 hours to find a group post
4. All the charts that show a decline that really have no reason to lie.

Where do you get your stuff to say its increasing?

I already disproved that. You cant use that anymore because it is a lie.

You know, I've seen the same people post those 'I quit' threads for months now.

I even was witness to one person who said he quit, came back with an _ at the end and was posting the same thing.

Your 'proof' is hearsay.

And I'm sorry that I misspoke about the Standard to Heavy ratio. I didn't count.
So you got me. I misspoke. There were more Standard than Heavy. (There were still a ton of Heavy)

Does that mean the game is dead, even though a HUGE chunk of people are playing and having fun?

How did you disprove this? BW stated it. So you are saying they lied?

Where did I ever say it was increasing?

You see....I didn't. I don't have any proof of that, just like you have no proof that it isn't. But I will say a company usually doesn't open new servers when the population is decreasing.

The difference is that I'm not running around shouting that the game is dying or it's growing without anyway to back it up.

You, on the other hand, are.

So again I ask...please provide this "absolute proof" you have, or please stop claiming something that doesn't exist.

Alot of forum posters forget that "absolute" actually has a meaning beyond sounding cool.

Your right 3rd partly programs cant track population but can track server population averages.

In Dec 1.7 million people were playing and those sites showed that. No matter what they do to the server populations caps it still shows that it was steady decline from dec to now

Fill 100 cups with some water. Those sites track how full each cup is. Make 20 of those cups bottles then the site would count those as cups and they would register that some water was lost. The thing is on the graphs it made you would see the loss of water in a specific time period.These server charts so not show that they show a stead decline and you know they are not adjusting the server caps everyday.

So if the site showed it being full full full full heavy heavy heavy then that would show where they raised the cap. Instead they show full full full full very heavy very heavy very heavy very heavy heavy heavy heavy heavy standard standard. That points to a decline in players.

Do you see me saying they lied in what you quoted? Yes you do so yes I did say they lied and some other posts I showed that they did.

Even if we ignore the fact that it's the same 10 people (or their forum alts) making those posts, they would still be what? 0.5% of game population?

The population distribution must be very distorted then. The servers I check on have about the same number of people or less(like mine). I have seen nothing but declines or at best stagnation on light pop and standard servers. Also, I am online most of the day so I sample the data very well.

Also, I find it hard to believe that 1.7 million people were all online. That would mean every single subscriber was on at the same time.
