I for one do not PvP and have no desire to, PvP is not what drew me to an RPG MMO anyway. So, this issue has no impact on me and will not change my mind about continuing to stay subscribed.

Besides, within the MMO Media Industry and MMO Companies, it is common knowledge that forum posters are a very small fraction of the over-all player base. Most players of MMOs just simply do not post or read the related forums on a regular basis and post far less.
About 20% of the total game popeulation even ome to the forums after account creation, is the average is what research has shown..

My speculation on the population was 1.7 million (according to Ea) figure now 1.2 million, after 1.2 back to 1.5 million, just like most threads this post is based on a little facts and a whole lot of useless speculation, like 99% of the these forums..
Do not dwell in the past, do not not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.

Expectations lead to suffering

Well, with all the people unsubbing because they don't see a million plus online everytime they log in, i would imagine less then a million giving us around 100 000-150 000 concurrent users (players on at once) which would give us around 230-350 per faction per server

Yep it's so funny going back and looking at some of the predictions on the first couple of pages that were written back in January.

30-40% left!!!
Mass Exodus!!!!
F2P by Febuary!!!!!!

Here we are the Third month with 1.7 mil or more.

Yeah Yeah I know there is only 800 subs and it is already F2P.
No one hates Star Wars as much as "Star Wars fans"

Well, fact of the matter is not the amount of subs they have, its that they are too spread out to mean a thing. Or even they can't motivate players to really play lol. Dead servers are dead server bro, no matter how many players they claim they still have, if they don't play server is still dead.

Well I am playing Trask Ulgo server right now. I am seriously doubting to leave this server and try another one now that character transfer is free at this moment of typing (some add from SWTOR in my e-mail said so). I am trying this transfer prior before quitting the game. Which I was actually about to do until someone gave me a 60 day game card for my birthday.....So I'll give it one more attempt to impress me.

On every planet that I am on, maybe..........MAYBE atmost 10 are on the same planet since the past like month, two months. I haven't encountered any other player other than on board the Republic Fleet Space Station. Unless you are into PvP, the whole RP section in the game is dead. And that is why I went for this game. With SWG ending just to feed these servers, I do miss SWG...................

But a big part is, I get bored to death IN this game. You have no one to play with cause simply no one is there. Like I said, the past months have been like 10 people AT MOST, per PLANET!!!!!
I play mornings, afternoons, evenings, nights (no I'm not a game junkie playing 24/7, I work highly irregular shifts so get to be on irregularly times ) but no matter when I play, the game (or at least this server) is pretty much deserted. If I look at the overall server list, everything is like LIGHT GREEN populated Maybe one or two STANDARD YELLOW servers. I've witnessed only two servers PvP that were full. The other like 50 globalwise servers are just that. Either green (95%) or yellow (the other 5%) Makes me wonder if people still like the game.

I have to be honest, the game does not really (or at least that's my experience on the server I'm on) invite you to do roleplay. You can't really interact with the surroundings or carry multiple people in a vehicle or get them on a spaceship and do interactive things there, like you could do with Star Wars Galaxies. So what's the point of RP if you can't RP.

So I am going to give this game another 60 days, or until I truly bore out and can't help it no more but just quit it. I'm only staying right now cause someone was nice enough to give me a 60 day game card for my birthday and did not want to see it refunded. If it wasn't for that.............I would have quit by now to be honest and to be honest, I think I have to disappoint my friend for this nice gesture of a gift, but one that was totally useless.
