Server population is dropping...

There is nothing wrong with this game! It's all the people that are QQn. I love this game it's perfect. Granted it has tons of flaws and there are barely anyone on @ peek hours (depending on ur server)Bioware did a great a job! They will carry there great rep of MMO's like Warhammer with EA and LOTR!


LoL oh boy....I actually felt like a fanboi! ><If I actually read another post stating this game has nothing wrong with it!

A few points:

1) I generally only respond to people who post "all the servers are empty" or "all the servers are dead" hyperbole (use of "all" when "all" is an incorrect statement is negative hyperbole). As was the case in my most recent responses yesterday. And when I do it is to provide objective comparison to "all the servers are empty", because they are not. By your own admission it's about 25% of the servers, and I generally agree with your assessment on that. So, by contrast 75% of the servers have healthy thriving populations on them.

2) I have on numerous occasions acknowledged there are some servers struggling, when I do comment.

3) Bioware has said server transfers are coming, they just have not announced when and how yet.

4) each of us has a right as forum members to post in threads, and NOT be accused of trolling for doing so.

It's a little hard to tell what you actually mean towards the end of the first paragraph, but are you actually claiming that Bioware made Warhammer Online? If so, you'd be wrong.

You can't even make up your own mind... how can a perfect game have tonnes of flaws?? simple answer it's not perfect, it's not close, not now, not after the 1.2. This game lacks a. as a Star Wars game and secondly as a MMO. So when you market yourself as both of those and don't meet either requirment I don't know how you can say it's perfect...

All of BW releases in the last 3/4 years have been very poor, any reputation you place on them clearly isn't deserved. The server population has dramatically decreased and while the game is in it's current design state, that will continue to happen.

Mythic did.

Then Mythic was bought by EA.

Then Mythic was merged with Bioware to make up EA's RPG division.

Any guesses who was the main SWTOR Dev Team?

If you guessed Mythic left-overs, you win!

I love over generalization then dialing it back after the cat's out of the bag... like that slimy lawyer that phrases some awful lie at the end of a line of questioning just to get in the minds of the jury... then qualifies it down, or withdraws it...

A server may have low population, but the overall game is FAR from dying... as evident by heavy, very heavy, and standard servers all over the place.

I am sorry you picked a bad server, or was assigned one at start. I was too and re-rolled 3 weeks into launch and the fuller server I went to is doing wonderful.

I hope server transfers come soon, so you can come back to a full server.

No. 25% have visually unhealthy populations as determined by the server status page.

But standard status is a very large range, ranging from unhealthy populations on the lower end to healthy populations on the higher end. Given the wide disparity between either extreme, it's hard to determine how healthy any of these "standard" servers really are.

I know from personal experience that even "middle of the pack" on the standard scale is closer to an unhealthy population than a healthy one.

While there may only be 25% of servers that are unquestionably unhealthy, there's maybe 25% (and likely fewer) that are unquestionably healthy.

All the rest are in some state of limbo. The server I play on, The Jekk-Jekk Tarr, has what you would consider a healthy population, but I've witnessed a roughly 50% decrease in activity since I started playing on it in February, and a particularly noticeable drop in activity since ~3/20 alone.

Was there anyone from BioWare who moved to BioWare Austin to work on the game? Because from what I've heard, BWA is basically a completely new developer, related to BW in name only.

I know all that, and it's Bioware calling the shots. I was just pointing out that Bioware had nothing to do with the creation of Warhammer Online, a small but insistant number of people get that wrong.

I've tried Warhammer Online, didn't like it at all. Swtor is leagues better, so I don't think you have much of a point.

Funny, because they're very similar games outside of the IP.

SWTOR's combat basically is a devolution of WAR's. I use the term "WAR 0.9" because they're otherwise that close, but WAR's was just that much more complex.

You point was Bioware had nothing to do with Warhammer.

My point is Bioware has had little to do with SWTOR. It's been Mythic, and the Dragon Age team, and some stories written by Drew (Who has now left Bioware completely).

This is a Mythic game, through and through.

Warhammer was nothing like DAoC. Both done by Mythic.
