So he wouldn't waste his time responding to me.

I thought it a courtesy.

I apologize if I offended you.

How many of those new faces are gone? or even better how many of those older server names are gone now?
I'm sure by 'honest' you mean 'agrees with my point of view'.

When signing on and checking servers they are all either light or standard. Maybe one exception or two that are heavy.

You have to be extremely deluded and have some sort of weird attachment to this game if you can't see/admit that the game is losing subs.

It's like some ppl feel their lives will collapse if they are forced to admit that this game that they identify their whole existence with is not doing better than WoW:P
I'll freely admit that fewer people are playing and most are playing less but, I think many who defend the game and realize this do so out frustration with those who equate that with SWTOR's death. The trumped-up "SWTOR is dying" threads crop up and if refuted in the same overblown style, every comes off as a defensive fan boy.

The likely reality is that the game has plenty of subs to maintain it and is still seeing some growth to offset those who bought the wrong game as BioWare continues to dial in and improve the game. There server load thresholds got changed so they can be a bit of a moving target as a comparative measure as too would be the populations on fleet. As I have settled into the game and more of my real life, my playtime has tapered off but, I also know as I understand where I am going and have less need to shop on the auction terminals for gear that would improve me, I am spending less and less time on fleet. It only makes sense that would show up as fewer people on fleet.

The end product is that there are fewer people spending fewer hours than at release but, the game is far from dying and it's not a one-way line out the front door.
"I really wanted to bring in the three BioWare pillars to the online space. Those are represented by story, by the player's choice in story, and by characters. Those are the three big things that I felt weren't really well represented in the MMO space." - James Ohlen

Ok, I think I am going to have to call you on that then, there is one server where the population is growing. Canderous Ordo. Which is not a big fat worm looking dude. Which means I don't believe you.

I didn't ask you to believe me.

I have shown supporting evidence that the population is fine.

The game is in the top 10 for sells on Amazon for the past 200+ days.

I see new faces all the time.

My guild numbers are going up.

Feel free to hate the game on the forums (I'm betting you really like the game, otherwise, why would you waste your time and energy here?)

You also said WoW has no day/night cycles. Everything you say I can disregard as dishonest.

I am a new player, well a two week old player and I also had two more friends pick up the game.

So far we all really dig it, the crafting is really great....yea yea I know end game crafting beyond boichem is supposedly pointless.....but that will not deter me from becoming a master cyber-technician....but seriously even if all the other crafts are a bit pointless I totally dig the system and will continue to use it.

My small band of rebels chose Nathema as our server. Due to when we were choosing a server it was one of the ones that had low population.

Got to love the "Chicken Littles" on the the forums, go to any game and look at posts about 2 or 3 months after it's release.

Yea the newness of the game wears off after a few weeks/months so people tend to not be on all day and all night. The way of the vidiot right. Go Hardcore to try n be first then chill after you fail or succeed. Just my two cents.


Just wanted to throw in there that Bioware has earned a reputation of being one of the best game producers in the industry at this time. This being their first shot at an MMO I think they have done a solid job....and expect the game to just get better as it goes along.

Just a voice to say hey I am a two week old player. So do I and my band of rebels count as population growth?
