The people on low pop servers are screwed for the duration and that absolutely sucks. But all this wailing and gnashing of teeth -- there are about 6 active threads on this topic, two of them in this subforum -- has done absolutely nothing for anyone.
I did exactly what you are saying.. was on a high pop server and the server started dieing and friends quit, thus rolled an another alt on a different server got to cap, and the server pop gradually died. This isn't an issue for "light" servers that initially were light the whole way through. They both started out as full ->heavy->standard->light. Hence the quitting comment since this is obviously an issue effecting numerous servers, therefore being completely relevant to the topic at hand. If you don't want to read these threads simply don't click them, but this comment of your is completely inaccurate for many of the cases posted on this thread. People aren't ranting for no reason, these posts are created to receive a high amount of views so that Bioware can see it is a major concern of the player base and something can be done about it.

I wasn't just addressing you. This thread is ~80 pages long.

I never said people are ranting for no reason. They've got a very good reason to be upset. Bioware hasn't managed this part of the launch well at all.

But: multiple threads across multiple subforums and repeated posts by players feeding off each other's irritation achieves little to nothing. And frankly, I see a lot more posters waiting for some kind of snap fix than taking matters into their own hands, as if this kind of thing can be resolved in a weekend.

Blizzard has run the most successful MMO in history for going on 8 years. Guess what? They never solved the population problem either. They just hid it with in game tools that arguably effected the game in much larger ways. But there are still WoW servers out there with severely low pops or massive faction imbalances.

My server has good population and faction balance.


What server you on? I would LOVE to be on a balanced server.

This is the first MMO I have ever played in my life. I only joined it and left my ps3 and xbox 360 because I LOVE star wars. But even as a fanboy I have to admit its getting pretty boring. I shouldnt have to force myself to play a video game. Hopefully with the new content coming it will become enjoyable again.

Republic fleet on mt server used to have over 100 toons at off hours, and now its mainly 20-30. My server Helm of Garush was one of the top 5 population servers at one point. Now it seems more and more like a Ghostown.

What's going on?
Yes.

A 2011 MMO released with less features than those of a decade ago is destined to fail. Bioware screwed the pooch folks, and you, the loyal paying customers, are supporting it.

I wouldn't say it was BioWare, more that EA forced them to release the game before they wanted to. Something about Christmas sales being a big stream of income that EA wanted, bottom line. They 'know' that the early release [and the game being crap compared to the potential it has being released in 6-12 months] is better for them $$$ wise as EA have forced several games to come out way too early and be crap.

I don't see EA looking to go broke any time soon

swtor is already dead. I personally have 6 level 50s i cant do pvp or ops with (other than a really laggy EV) because of the fps issues.


When you can log on and wait in a pvp que for more than 8 hours on a weekend.. yeah the game is pretty damn dead if you ask me.

1.2 better solve a lot of problems.. if not there wont be anyone left on most of the servers.
