Where to start.... there is a drop, it's for a reason. Probably all of the mentioned problems. And it will keep spiralling out of control till someone with the knowhow can bring it under control.

Do have Bioware have that?? I don't believe so, we always hear how it's their first MMO and to give them a break. Perhaps that's something they should have took on board before they decided to do a MMO. Bugs don't bother me, bad design, bad performance and lying to their own community does though.

You'd think a Star Wars MMO should really make itself... apparently not!

i think your attitude towards the state of sw tor will change there kid
I rolled on the after the first month, before it was "the place" to reroll. I know about the other servers situations, they released too many servers because people cried about queue times. Then those people ended up quitting. All they need to do is offer transfers/merges. Nothing wrong with that. WOW has some dead servers as well, but noone ever talks about that (I played on a few).

Besides some servers being underpopulated, the game is doing fine.

Troll harder.

This does tend to be the case.

Well i want the game to do good like most people. But us the players sadly know why
they have lost 400 K subs.And we tell em on the forums everyday only to be ignored.
The people in charge at bioware need to understand that they are making the game for us the players.
Not what they think we the players want, because they lack vision.They can still turn things around.

Reasons why subs are gone is:
PvP, or lack of PvP(open world pvp)
Fixing end game bugs like Raid bugs, making the raider community angry.
To easy to gear up in raids.Make gear progreassion go from one raid to the other.
No ranked WZ.
1.2 destroyed PvP because of TTK and bad class balance.
No cross server pvp/lfg FP finder etc.
Lack of immersion, were is the star wars feeling.
Actual STAR WARS gears !
Chat bubbles etc for RP community.
Game is on rails.
Better XP for lvl up in WZ/PvE.
No real space combat.
No minigames.Things to do in cantinas when not doing other things.
No real exploration.
To many walls ingame(players cant leave the worlds without dying to a wall they cant see.
To many mobs close to roads etc.
Players dont want to stand on fleet at 50, but on a planet with day/night cycle that is immersive.
Devs etc not talking enough to the community,talk about things you are working on !

With these things you will gain alot of subs !

Dropping like a brick? Have you even looked at it today? if it drops in afterhours trading people will be picking it up on the cheap tomorrow morning. This is how the market works. Welcome to finance.

OP needs to go back to elementary school. That's a 10% drop not 25%.

Also, I guess being the second biggest MMO is failing? Got it.

Also guys, I don't want to be negative, but I'm afraid that a LOT of the ''38 new countries'' are not going to be the holy Grail for TOR.

Those countries include Albania (poorest country in Europe), Turkey, Egypt (where it's an understatment that a huge chunk of the population see poorly all things Western) and even Afghanistan (TBF, it's probably for the NATO troops)

It has likely made back all of its investment already with box sales and monthly subs to date.

Going forward, all revenue is positive.

Just like every other mmo ever made, ever.
So it's expected that every MMO will lose 25% of the customers in the first 3 months of release?

I'm just trying to understand how this is a positive thing.

If this is a continuing trend, does that mean by the end of the next quarter another 25% will be gone?
