wrong,
u dont get his point,
if there were 1.7 PCs,
it wont be so many dead servers,
and PCs wont reroll on few servers,
if swtor is as health as Jan 2012,
u wont see so many problems.

BTW last day is my sub last day, only 21 ppl on imp fleet, and most of them r my old guild crew, how ironic, where is other PCs? all reroll on fatman?
English is not my first language, still working on it.

I'm also the time to say good job when you get it right
Yep I agree I'm the same way, yes I have defended TOR..but I have also laid into both Georg Zoller and Daniel Erickson over bugs that need to be addressed.

I totally get peoples frustrations...but the issue these forums had (not so much anymore) was that group that spent twelve to sixteen hours a day raging about every little thing and jumping into positive threads just to let everyone know how fail the game was despite the topic. I think TOR has it's niche and yes it is a niche just like TERA and GW2 will have theirs. It all comes out in the wash, very few MMO's actually fail anymore.

It's hard for me to say if subs will be up or down. I feel it could go either way. But I do know there are a good number of people who are unsubscribed only because there is currently no dungeon finder.

I was planning on staying for the free month but I'm cancelling before this billing cycle closes. If they want to give me the free time without charging me they can but my server is dead and this is my 2nd 50 and 2nd server so Eff that.

This response is not to poke hole in TOR at all. I’m a fan first critic second

Whatever the number will be it will be highly inflated. Who ever EA has managing their books is like a magician, they make you think the illusion is real.

The magic trick...

EA came out stating they had 9.3 million registered users on EA Origins after launch… That number makes you go holy s@#$ right?!? 9.3 million people registered for origin after launch!!!

Now for the illusion

What you didn’t see was what my left hand was doing…

If you bought any sims product (from steam or hardcopy) and redeem any of free credits from your game purchase to get free stuff from the sims store, your now a registered EA origins user.

If you purchased any DLC for games like Mass effect and dragon age on consol or PC or redeeming any pre-purchased promotions, you need to redeem your code online through EA and guess what your now a registered EA origins user

If registered any of your hardcopy games your now a registered origins user….

These are a few tricks EA uses to inflate there registered Origins numbers

Its Pretty sweet magic right? Cause my concurrent users and user's come back and make purchases from my store is a lot lower then I'm making it out to be

You're assessment is based in faulty logic. 1.7 million active subscriptions does not mean 1.7 players in the game at peak hours. It does not mean the players that are in game at any given time are spread out across all server evenly; while the majority of servers are relatively dead, there is the Fatman, a handful of others that are fairly close to the cap, and a couple dozen more with strong, active, and sustainable communities at all hours of the day. This group of active servers accounts for the majority of the subscriber presence within the game.

What the hell do Origin accounts have to do with TOR subs? I don't see the issue you're trying to make.
