Server population is dropping...

There are more servers with low populations than high.

There are maybe 4 servers in the US that are booming most noteworthy is The Fatman. Seems to be the re-roll choice. If you play on a lower populated server then hit one of the higher ones the game takes on a whole new look and feel. Honest, it does. About the only downside is the /general chat People who play or have been playing on the higher populated servers don't understand the ghost world aspect of the game and how it ruins the overall feel. There isn't any "massive" in it. If you play Republic and on a lower populated server, game over.

The question is really this. Why are the servers so low today than when it went retail?

If it really is because of lack of content (which I don't believe for one minute) then the patch drop should bring them back up. On the other hand if it is due to valor change, game design, PvP, or something else, then the patch won't address it. Hell, everyone keeps mentioned the bloody LFG tool. That won't help a lowly populated server I'm afraid either. It will for the PvE flashpoint aspect. Great. However, the world is still dead and no LFG/R tool can fix that.

Those who think the game is doing great please re-roll to a lower populated server rather than telling us to re-roll to a higher. You won't want to pack up and move anymore than us. This isn't our problem. This is BioWare's and it needs to be addressed.

I don't think the incoming subscriber rate is faster than those leaving. I just don't get the feel that is the case. Too many servers are being reported by subscribers as a ghost town. 3 to 30 people in the fleet isn't right. There is no social aspect to the game. There isn't a thriving economy.

Might as well play a console game.

ok for 1 im not trolling,if i was id tell ya the game is as full as could be...and if you can find a site that says the exact opposite that mine did,then do it and stop putting down people who actually are posting evidence to support this post.

Guess what when they listen to the few that say everything is to hard and takes to long to get. Then you get the current state of game people play for a couple months realize there is ZERO chalenge max gear is basicly a hand out and then players mass quit playing.

So what I see here is: I posted clearly debatable 'facts', put them across as some sort of proof, so I now need to go and find some other 'proof' to discredit your 'proof'.
Gotchya.

Perfect example of "This game did not live up to the hype I created in my own head for it."

When I watched the trailers, I thought "awesome, can't wait to play another Star Wars MMO", not "OMG the World PVP is going to be awesome!"

LOL to true.

[QUOTE=Gungan;3815799]WoW had a good, comprehensive server only LFG tool in 2005 - something SWTOR doesn't have.QUOTE]

Please tell me you aren't referring to the LFG Global Channel. It was like trade chat on steroids. It was a perfect example of what "not" to do when trying to create a LFG system more evolved than spamming chat channels for hours.

90% of the people on the old LFG Global Channel in WoW were attention whores, nothing more.

Well said! The only thing conveyed by the trailers is background story. Anything beyond that is the player's fault (and this is coming from someone who enjoyed/misses the epic pitched battles in Hillsbrad, STV and at summoning stones in old school WoW).

Life's too short to play this mediocre game.

But not short enough to post about it. Gotcha.

Please don't ruin other people's rememberings from the past. Nostalgia tastes much better when not sprinkled with the salt and pepper of reality.
