79 People on Tattooine.... Hmmm Maybe that had something to do with the world event.

I assume they've also adjusted the number of players who can appear on the Fleet at one time too because those numbers are halved or less.
All warfare is based on deception If his forces are united, separate them If you are far from the enemy, make him believe you are near A leader leads by example not by force

All I can say is that IMO it's foolish to try and out-wow WOW, which is exactly what SWTOR tried to do.

I actually will put up with bad customer service for a great game. I will not, however, put up with bad customer service for this game.
mmm you do realize that they changed the requirements for the free 30 days and all you need now is a level 6 legacy right...

Dying doesn't mean dead. It means on the path to death.

Rift, Aion, Warhammer, LotRO, etc are in FACT all dying. They are bleeding subscriptions or have been bleeding subscriptions for sometime at an alarming rate.

Server mergers mean the game is dying. Does that mean it will die anytime soon? Not necessarily.

Games like EQ and DAoC and WoW all INCREASED subscriber numbers even months to years after their release. They didn't sell massive amounts of copies at the start and then start squirting subscribers as the months passed.

DAoC added 3 new servers including an RP server after it's release. When's the last time an MMO actually added servers after release or increased it's subscription base any futher out than the intial first month or two? DAoC hit it's all time high nearly 2 years after release date.

That's not true at all. Some MMOs bleed players until they hit a point where the server mergers and player base stabilises and the game continues to be profitable. Not dying, stabilising.

This is very true. I see SWTOR settling into a 300k +/- game that is constantly churning new players. It will likely plateau there.

Of course, it was Tatoine alone that put me on a 10 minute queue.
