The Fatman is waiting for you. He's consuming all of your low server populations and growing larger every day.

Fatman is one of the 4 US severs that actually has a decent population.

Other 3 being--
Ajanta Pall
Canderous Ordo
Harbinger

Swiftsure used to be a decently populated server till the asia-pacific exodus.

Actually, I do. Records of player activity over the past two months show no real variation for the vast majority of servers. Populations peak at approximately the same time each day, the magnitude of that peak remains constant nearly every day, and the daily lows show similar repetition. This indicates the users that are playing the game today are essentially the same users that have been playing the game over the past two months, and that the population issues we face today were also present two months ago.

This means the vast majority of players that left the game would have had to do so more than two months ago. This places the time of the mass cancellations at the end of of the first-month free trial period, which demonstrates the sudden depopulation that I described.

Whose records? And where? Can we see it?

April might be the next big drop from those that purchased a 3 month sub initially.

OMG this thread has exploded in popularity!
I guess most of us get more interaction here than in game.

I have cancelled my sub and am playing out my remaining game time on The Fatman.

Hope to come back in 6 months.
I deny your reality and substitute my own.

Exactly ... because there are none! There is no official proof of anything: decline or growth. It's just windbags making stuff up to bring attention to themselves.
Can we please just have our pre-KotFE SWTOR MMORPG back?

I'm in the 3 month crowd, and my sub is cancelled as of now, but I suggest you tinker around with 1.2. I will try it out for another month and go from there. 1.2 UI developments are very welcome, as well as them starting to add some guild features and legacy stuff to work for.
Though, I don't have eyeballs right now on the test server (maybe they did that so we wouldn't see any bugs? lol) In any case, 1.2 makes the game feel less beta like and if you haven't checked it out yet, I would before making any final decisions.
Let the shoosting begin!

Uh, speculation is the only thing this discussion consists of.
