I want to see what the sub numbers are after April, less than 900k would be my guess, that would mean that the majority of people who bought the game left before 4 months of playing. Less than 900k players? Only?!? OHMYGOD HOW ARE WE GOING TO DO?!?!?! HOW?!?!?! IT IS THE END!11!111!!!!11

EA is probably using the bare minimum in terms of game server hardware to cut down on costs. They probably cannot merge servers without a massive hit to game performance on an already poorly optimized game. My servers are dead whenever I log on. I don't feel like starting over again. My faith in Bioware caused me to buy a six month sub, but that was a huge mistake. Theres no point playing an MMO and paying a monthly fee when you are playing by yourself.

It lost most of its user base in the first 6 months and basically went on life-support after that. And the fanboys ridiculed everyone who pointed out the drastic player subsription falloff. EA made a huge mistake reusing the Mythic team on SWTOR. This game is plagued by many of the same problems as their last game, and cost twice as much to make. Between the Dragon Age 2, Mass Effect 3 and now SWTOR fiasco, they have dragged Biowares name through the mud.

The server I am on has lost 45% of its population since release, do you really consider that "healthy"? For reference I am on Mandalore the Indomidable, and we had 180+ on fleet during peak hours, now we hit 100 if we are lucky. I was one of those who grabbed a 6 month sub thinking it would be worth it, and honestly after its up I really dont think I will renew, not for a good couple months atleast. I mean hell if it takes 4 months for ANY new content, I could take most of a year off and only come back to mediocre amounts of new content. It takes 4 months to come up with 1 new OP and 1 new Flashpoint, and extremely minor pvp changes? REALLY? Meh, we will see I guess. But they have certainly disillusioned me. After I finish the storylines of each class (done all 4 of the imp's, all thats left is repub), I honestly dont see any point to staying subscribed. Maybe I will respub every 6 months or something. First off, they do have access to actual numbers, no one else does. And second, patch 1.2 is the second content update in 4 months not the first.

Population is dropping because TORtanic has nothing left to offer people. The only thing this game had going for it was the story while leveling. Once people are done that, they are done the game, its over. It was never a good MMO, I dont think I grouped with anyone from level 1-50 because there was no reason too and chatting was easy to miss because of the lack of chat bubbles. So much is wrong with this game, by the time they get half of it fixed new games will be out, there will not be any point in keeping a subscription to this sinking ship. Planet Side 2, Secret World, Diablo 3, Tera, etc.. lots of different game types for different folks. Then of course there is the game that is moving the genre forward into the next generation of MMO with massive innovation and superb design. The game that is basically the saviour of the MMO genre... Guild Wars 2.

This game is still pretty good, easily equivalent to WoW. Merge servers. +1

WAR lost over 50% of subs after 2 months, after 3-4 the ywere already merging servers. Also I can't really see all these problems that plagued WAR and are now plaguing TOR but hey, it's your opinion, for what is worth you can vent aaaaalll day long If you want to check: launched september 2008 with 750K users december 2008 was already down to 300K http://games.on.net/article/4889/The..._fall_to_300k/

Relabeling future patches as Expansions, just like EA Louse said a year ago. Who got the last laugh?

Actually I remember reading an interview from them saying they had no intention of doing server merges any time soon (dont have any plans for it at all yet), claiming the server pop's were just fine. So honestly its likely atleast 8 months off at the absolute soonest, although a year is more likely.

I can't wait to see these forums in six months we will still have the cult of Tela calling it Tortanic, they will still be predicting doom and still paying 15.00 a month. Thanks ever so much for funding my future content.
No one hates Star Wars as much as "Star Wars fans"

Good luck seeing anyone on any other server than the fatman. I also like how you ignore the fact that I have rerolled on 3 servers because of how bad the population is. I'm convinced all the suporters of this game play it as a single player RPG and not a MMO.
