Of course it is declining, if you don't see it, you are straight up ignorant. If anyone was here at release, the servers were all at FULL capacity, now they have trouble breaking LIGHT capacity. Just remember, you'll always have the Star Wars movies, it'll help ease the pain of losing this from your life.

Agreed with this guy. Our server was a Heavy population server, with a very big PvP population. Since PvP has steadily gotten worse and worse, the server is dwindling. Guilds went from 50-100 people to 10ish in about one month. It was really noticeable at the beginning of February, but now it just seems empty.

Yep, This, Rift, Aion, WoW, DCUO, Eve Online, Diablo 3 and Planetside 2 are all dying - I realise two haven't been released yet but I promise you they're already dying.

Also, GW2, Terra - Also dying.

FFS guys, Age of Conan still has enough people to play and enjoy, as does Planetside 1...This game is going nowhere and will just get better and better.

The CVG article merely parrots and cites the startupgrind blog entry, which, if I read it correctly, is written by a former employee. The marketwatch article is old. It is a commentary on the 3Q 2012 earnings call, which was held February 1.

Simply this.

I can laugh myself to sleep with all these forum trolls stating the game is dying.

Simply put this game is nowhere near dying, it has a very healthy population, they just need to consolidate it, Every Friday night in the EU you will have standard replace the light status on 50% of those 'light' servers, meaning a minimum of 350 people are playing on that server.

Dying, lol go try Warhammer Online and get back to me.

but i do understand what OP is saying. if its on the net it must be true

All numbers and articles aside. I know what it is that I see IN-GAME, and that's nobody. The other day I logged in at peak and I was the only Imp on Tatooine. How is that possible??? The best part of the game are the flashpoints and group content not that you would know it because you can never get groups in this game. In any case, the funniest part of the article is how much everyone hates EA. All that nickle and diming their customer base finally caught up with them.
