SWTOR and the EA stock plummet

That it is very low. Duh. Even if 3 now are listed as Heavy..that is still low..think abou it....3 servers are Heavy? 3!!?

I could care less about the rest of this thread.

But I would like to put my full support behind the notion of adding cross-dimensionl "Firefly" streaming.

That is all.

Low by what standards? Do you have official numbers?

No...I am not indicating it is a failure. I am saying it is not in as good of a shape as some are suggesting. I wish it was, but it is clear it is not when viewed with no rose colored glasses on. And I know..it is not TOR alone which has reflected the majority of EA's stock lost, but it is part of the reason...as anything happening to it does reflect back on those stocks.

So, you can officially proclaim that this is too low, despite the fact that in a mere ten minutes, the population status changed rather dramatically? Interesting.

Well...I could take WoW's server status and show you they have 36 listed as high and over a hundred listed as Med in NA alone...but that would'nt be fair would it? But the point is mute for some of you and we will have to see what the sub numbers are next month and more importantly, what they are this fall..after all the 6 month subs run out.

Banking anything, especially money, on the Sims is like throwing the dice down the toilet and then clogging the pipes with your gambling chips. lol

Ok, but, yes, you are right. Like I said in my other post, they don't seem to have netted anywhere near the number of subs they wanted, but this is generally the rule, not the exception. I don't think the game is dying. I think it has probably stabilized at this point and will continue to see the normal dips and rises in players depending on what is going on in the game at any given time. I.e. New patches, content getting old, etc etc.

There seems to be lots of doomsaying around here. I know that's the standard for forums, but I feel compelled to comment anyways. I guess I'm still fresh off the Diablo 3 forums where you would think the sky was literally falling if you spent 5 minutes there.

Comparing the servers to WoW would only be mute to me because WoW has, much to my chagrin, set the expectations for MMO too high and also stagnated the design philosophies of MMO developers. Its success has been far more of a curse than a blessing. I despise the way we haven't moved past a game that was released in 2004. TOR fell prey to this curse and mindset in many, many ways, but so did the playerbase.

Edit: Also, before anyone gets upset and accuses me of hating Azeroth, my Dalaran t-shirt, alliance t-shirt, druid t-shirt, Blizzcon Deathwing statue, Night Elf action figure, and many Warcraft books would like to have a word with you.

Apparently, you are not quite grasping what is being said to you or asked of you.

Proclaiming that "three Heavy servers is too low a number" is about as meaningful as saying, "Apples are being eaten right now by people on Standard servers." What are the numbers for reaching the Standard threshold, and what are they for reaching Heavy? How many people are on those High and Medium servers in WoW? If you do not know the number (and you don't, so don't try to say otherwise), then any argument based on "Look at how many are Standard" is useless.

Only 2 are listed as heavy now..10 as standard. I would not call that "dramatically" changing..:P
