Lol this thread is great.

take a poll of a 2 week period. cause you know...2 weeks is plenty of time for an averaged statistic, right? cause nothing can happen in the universe that would interrupt a games population in 2 weeks. then they typical doom and gloom naysayers hop in with this new-found overwhelming evidence and say "See? I told you so! I am justified! I am the prophet foretelling the Doom Of MMO's!"

Whatever. Im not a blind fan of this game. It ranks up there for me with LotRO now. fun game, has it's quirks, worth playing tho. It's not perfect. but threads like this do NOTHING but give emphasis to those who want to repeat their dire prophecies, trying in some vague way to make themselves look like the psychics of the MMO realms (and professional MMO critics at the same time). save your breath...number fluctuation like that happen in every MMO. I'll bet tht if you looked at EVERY MMO out there right now, they would have similar fluctuations as we speak. some more. some less.

This is not directed to those who have reasonable concerns about game mechanics, and are discussing them (mostly in other threads) in a way that should garner attention to those said items. but this thread really isn't it. this is simply a doom and gloom thread, with less evidence then most.

Nothing to see here...move along...

EDIT: you know, while we have all those who enjoy discussing these fluctuations in MMO populations I got a question....why does it matter if the population is dwindling? do you honestly think that you are goign to take someone who is actually enjoying themselves at the moment, and convince them in a world shattering revalation that they are wrong about how they feel about the game, solely on the population numbers? do you think that the dev's are going to see the .2% difference, and recant on their evil "MMO destroying" ways, and become the virtual monks of the MMO world, making the perfect game and allowing you to play it for free?

I really just dont' understand threads like this, especially ones that report a reduction in playerbase over a 2 week period with some servers less then a percent difference...my goodness, that could be people actually going back to work, and playing less. this is a GOOD thing. hell, it could even be people actually getting out in the sun instead of hunkering down in their cellars over a computer all day long...really? less that a percent?
"I just hit 50 and finished my class storyline, but I still haven't been able to decide which AC to choose. Leveling solo as a warrior wasn't difficult, so I kept putting off the decision.
Anyone else having the same problem? "~ lagerhat - And who says warriors are broke?

So... no, I don't think that means the servers are declining at all.
That is because they are listing the origin servers as all having a population increase. Thats because when a server is down for a longer time they all drop by say .01-.03 no matter if no one quits. Then if the servers dont have maintanance for a week it will raise .01-.03 even if no new players log in. The origin servers will bounce between .95 and .98.

But right now it is impossible for the origin servers to get any new subs since they are locked. That means we can only look at destination servers and looking at them its a -.84 and with all the servers getting a +.02 this period we can say its a -1.08 for this period. Definitly not a positive is it (US only)
If this game is so great then why do so many people that love the game spend all their time in the forums?

The people who like to cry (like you) will find reasons to cry. They never enumerate their grievances(like you). They never say "this is what's wrong" and when they do, as soon as it's fixed they "find" something else.

There are VERY few actual problems with the game. The lack of world PVP is the ONLY problem I have with the game right now and ranked are keeping me occupied enough that I don't care about that right now, they can take their time to get it right while I enjoy ranked warzones.
Damn, I just spent all of these pages reading the fanbois' comments. It's just really, really sad (and funny ) how they can't accept the reality of the state the game is in. SWTOR is crashing down. It's becoming a TORtanic!

Now, as for your comment, if there are actually VERY few problems, why do you players keep unsubbing and leaving?

More of the game's problems include:
  • Lag.
  • Endgame Content.
  • Chat broken.
  • Endgame Content.
  • Terribad Customer Service.
  • Did I mention endgame content??
  • Oh, yeah. Also, more lag.
  • Servers are dying again.
  • Leveling is now appearing as a grind to a majority of the players.
  • Am I seriously forgetting the lack of content? And its immersion, quality? Just the lack of it...

Yeaaah, even from that list, very few problems, my friend. Very few problems, indeed.

HAH! Funny.
You want truth? Let me give you truth. The game is not on a decline. The game has evened out...finally. This propaganda that you are reading that dictates otherwise is nothing more than an attempt to stir up more panic.

Say the game is dying enough times, people will start to believe it, just as you have.

More propaganda from a fanboi of doom.

You didn't do anything special there with your little list. That list of yours applies to EVERY SINGLE MMO on the market. I can go to every single forum to every single MMO and say this very same thing...and it will apply.

I see what you tried there. Failed.

This is probably the same thing you said just before the game lost 400k subs. This is probably the same thing you said before the announced server merges. This will probably be the same thing you say when the game is on life support with 2 servers running.

Oh look, a fanboi of the game. Hi there!

Just go look at all the threads seeing all these so-called "haters" criticize the game. They are really giving pointers out there to BioWare and are speaking the truth.

I could go on and on with that list but decided not to. You being a fanboi, however, it possibly won't change your perspective. You'll gain a dose of the TORtanic reality one day... one day...
