Server population is dropping...

I don't really understand why records even matter.

Or population drops.

Or why people pay good money to drive away people from a video game.

I play the game because it's fun. If my server were "dead" I'd reroll. I wouldn't quit a game just because I didn't have anyone to play with. That just doesn't make sense.

Even if I had 5 50s on a dead server I'd just go play an alt on different servers trying to find the perfect fit for when transfers were available.

How did their servers become dead to begin with if no one was leaving the game?

Can you explain how my server was one of the most heavily populated ones and now has 50-75 people a night on fleet?
Meanwhile, in Tera general chat -

"The sad thing is, arguing with fanbois on the forums was more entertaining than their 300 million dollar single player MMO from 2008"

This is simply not true......My entire guild had 3 Operation groups 2 months ago....Now no one is logging anymore to do ANYTHING. Period.

Also fleet populations on almost all servers are decreasing RAPIDLY.......

50-75 on fleet is low pop?

Since when do we judge server pops by some buggy zone count in a place where there are no quests, dailies, datacrons, etc etc you get the picture.


People don't seem to take into account that maybe there are 30 flashpoints going. That's like 150 people that you don't even see. Not to mention the pvp warzones.

2 or 3 is not resounding, its just a level of success. That what you have quoted is just the factual placement of where SWTOR is. What is resounding is being #1 and holding that level of standard for such a long duration. 2 or 3 is just 2nd and 3rd.

I know. I was just correcting an false statement. SWTOR is a record breaker, because its already broken record.

Because the launch bubble burst two months ago and it's remained essentially stable since.

When was the last time a new entry into the industry claimed one of the top three spots?

Yes, it would be a resounding success.

When someone rerolls, they don't log onto their old server any more. Therefor, if many people in a guild reroll, it looks as if no one is logging in to do anything. They can still be actively playing the game. They're just playing the game on a different server.

You may have got left behind.

Speak for your own server, because there are plenty of people noting that this is not true on theirs.
