Server population is dropping...

My server also feels quite empty, it's hard to find 4 people to do flashpoints NM/HM, almost nobody is up for heroics, the planets have like 5-10 people on it and it's just 3 months after the release.

All I can say is that this is typical of any Themepark MMO. Once you go through the designated trail of quests, you have no incentive to go back to that planet/area/location. Hence, most planets will be dead and the only populated area will be the main fleet area. Heck, even the game tells me when I log in to my level 50 character that I'm most needed in the fleet.

The only games that truly feel alive in most parts of the game are sandbox MMOs. Unfortunately, sandbox MMOs are probably the most difficult to code correctly and harder to attract a playerbase because of the potential for griefing.

So, Helm of Gaurash (my server) population has dropped probably 40% since launch. My guild loses members almost every day (not to other guilds/faction, but they just quit the game). As a PvP server, the PvP in this game is just not up to par with expectations of a AAA MMO title.

This game is disrespectful to gamers everywhere.
How this thing made it off the cutting room floor is beyond me.

Only thing disrespectful I see around here is players.

EA knows people will buy it based on a name, also the videos theyt used to promote it decieved everyone. I think people should just boycotte them.

Hello, this is a term I can agree with.

Sorry to be repetitive but when I travel to Hoth Cantina and I find the same NPC repeated 5 times speking with himself trying to show some kind of flawed atmosphere I think BW designers are being disrespectful with me.

I think the problem with this game is not just the low populated servers, the real reason is deep beneath its core structure. Low pop is just the consequence.

A pity as I really want this game to have success, I think It badly needs a huge design re-egineering.
If I see movement in this direction count happily on me for the future, this present MMO is not for me.

I'm on anchorhead as well. Just unsubbed. Wish it didn't come to this but if there are merges, I'll give it another shot.

I just logged off Saturday April 7th 8 people on in the fleet on white beam. Please merges servers or something. BW needs to help this game which they are not doing.
Duct tape is like the force, it has a light side and a dark side and it holds the universe together.

So do they have plans to combine some servers any time soon? It's like playing in a ghost town...
