I play on the Fatman, Every day we get people rolling saying. "OMG a server with people on it I am so happy" and every our population seems to be dropping. When never hit full anymore and fleet used to cap around 260 now i don't see it break 200 anymore.

So either it's going down or bioware screwed up massivly and open 2 times as many serves as they should have
Yeah I have to agree. I've noticed a drop in Fatman too, heck my Guild Leader hasn't been on in a week. Probably due to Tera Release or something.

They might go down a very tiny bit or they might even go up slightly, but they gave anyone who would have unsubbed (level 50's who need people to do content) a free month so they wont show up on this report.

Imagine if the genius of that move was put to use making an mmo.. you never know it may be a good thing , give bioware another month to suddenly do things right and fix this game before EA pulls the plug, or even worse really takes the game over themselves.

EA isn't going to pull the plug that's for certain. If Warhammer Online is still on-going then I don't see this game being unplugged anytime soon.

Probably a 10 year contract with the IP, like with GW or with LA for SWG too.
Real Star Wars space combat please, not Star Wars Fox! Maybe some PvP and flight too?
Goretzu's Law: As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving "Entitled" approaches 1

Are you under the misconception EA doesnt run this game? Bioware is simply a name they were acquired by EA and Bioware is now a division of EA. You really think they would pull the plug on a game that has at LEAST 1.3 million subs by the experts in the industries worst estimates? They just expanded into the middle east etc too. You think they didnt pick up a single sub there either? Do you listen to yourself?

Warhammer has 2 servers, worldwide. It had 1.x million boxes sold, just like SWTOR. That is a collapse.

Half the team who developed SWTOR came from Warhammer and repeated the same mistakes.

It's very similar.

BS warhammer never sold anywhere near a million much less 1.7 (and thats just in december 2012) like swtor. Second it is not star wars.

And where the hell did you get that? Did you take a look at Bioware's payroll or you just saw Gabe Amatangelo and went "well haf the swtor devs came from WAR"?
