Server population is dropping...

I bet for every 1 person that has bothered to come here and report dead servers, there are at least 200 that simply unsub and quietly leave.

I'm sure it won't be long before server population is so critically low that when new folks sign in to play, they end up feeling like they are in a single player game, and then folks just quickly, quietly unsub.

Bump!

Do something Bioware - I cant understand that you dont solve this problem before your trying to give the game good PR and recruit new players, there is nothing to recruit to.. empty servers..

Wait, I thought the fanboy bullet point is that the so called forum trolls are the only people who don't like the game.

Game is growing. Accept it. Call me out all you want.
The game is growing in the opposite direction of what is positive. Bioware needs to offer transfers or mergers to all people on light and many standard servers very soon.
Relabeling future patches as Expansions, just like EA Louse said a year ago. Who got the last laugh?

Who said anything about only 50s.

By your logic, there could be thousands of 40s logged on, and you'd still be QQing about the lack of 50s.

I know that 50s are what you're specifically interested in, but I'm in no way trying to assess 50s populations based on average fleet population.

Stop trying to say the square peg is inferior when you insist on jamming it into the round hole. Fleet population is a reasonable assessment of server activity, not 50s activity.

I'm really surprised at the seeming lack of urgency on this issue. It creates a death spiral for the game as a whole. There aren't enough people, so people quit, leaving even less, so more quit, and so on. Swift action or at least acknowledgment and incoming implementation of a solution is needed.

I used to be one of those fanboys who defended the game against all criticism (sometimes rudely, regrettably). I got my smugs to 50 about mid-February and got a JK to 24, then just lost steam for the game. Got back on a couple weeks ago and yeah...Space Slug went from a packed server to, oh, 10-20 people on any given planet in the evenings.

Whatever your opinion of the game, and for whatever reason, I'd say the population is dropping. Not even necessarily the game's fault, as that's what players do: they come in, suck up all the available content, dink around with alts and raids for a while, then leave for another game or the next MMO.

Everyone and their mother all rerolled onto The Fatman PvP East.. The mass Exodus has begun and if this fails canceled subs all across the board guarenteed.
