Because the "secret space project" is secret?

Just guessing you haven't actually logged into the game and played it. Does astroturfing pay well?
Can we please just have our pre-KotFE SWTOR MMORPG back?

Its Secret!

What part of secret dont you get?
In regards to lessening F2P and Preferred restrictions
In GAMING, as in LIFE,
You get what you pay for
No game restriction is so dire that $15.00/month will not eliminate it

I play everyday. Even with 10+ servers transferred into one I see less and less people on everyday and longer wait times for groups and less people queuing for WZ. Sure there was a slight bump after the server transfer but now it is dropping again even tho they keep adding more servers into the server transfer list.

Everyone is aware of how badly they botched the Ilum project, not once, but twice, and everyone who is aware of that knows that they are revamping open world pvp for the third time.

And most of us don't have very high hopes.
Really? Have you heard any details? No? Sounds secretive to me, then. We know just as much about the OWPvP revamp as the space revamp/addition.

It was so secret only one person at BW knew about it and they fired him.

Man I'm sorry to hear that has been your experience on your server. It's been my experience on Drooga's (main toons), Jedi Covenent and Begeren (alts with different groups of friends) that the game is healthy. They have been packed thoughout multiple instances since the transfers and are actually slowly growing in population while remaining devoid of login queues. When Bioware planned the transfers I think they selected servers based on both population and majority player time zones because 7:00am server is just as crazy with players as 7:00pm server is.

The only hands-on issue I've seen since the transfers is how slow people are migrating to use groupfinder. Many are still using chat to find groups. The twain have yet to meet and we as players on our server are driving the community as best we can to use it. Long groupfinder queues are not from a lack of players. I am sure some will say the tool is useless and that's why no one is using it. But they'll also say that about most everything because their bed only has one side ... the cranky side. Groupfinder is not perfect and imho adding a background item level check would fix most of the gripes. But it still works well - just needs more in-game pub.

It's so secret, no one on BioWare knows what it is.

I like that Bioware has been adding stuff players have been asking for. They said they have a new mission for space. The thing is, if it's the same type rail shooter then it's not really worth the time they're investing in it.

They should be making a free roam space ala SWG space game. Where you can group up for missions as well as pvp in space. This is what everyone wants.

The problem with free flight is that requires a complete redesign of space content and that means make an important investment. I don't think that will happens and what we've have seen so far is the contrary, employees fired and smaller programming teams
The odds are against free flight

I know its meant to be a secret but there hasn't been anything for a few months now, you'd think they'd tell us something by now :\
