The better question is why, if people hate the game so much, do they continue to subscribe just to spread malcontent on the official forums.
6 month subs?
People comming back to try 1.3 and transfers
People finally getting to endgame and realizing that the great story that Bioware used in leveling didnt continue into endgame
People who just bought the game and found out the hard way what alot of other people have found out.
If this game is so great then why do so many people that love the game spend all their time in the forums?

Looking at the data from TORstatus we can see in the US:

Server name Population (07/15-07/29) Change

The Harbinger » ø 2.34 -0.11
Begeren Colony » ø 2.30 +0.15
The Bastion » ø 2.28 -0.15
Drooga's Pleasure Barge » ø 2.27 -0.08
The Ebon Hawk » ø 2.18 +0.06
Corellian Run » ø 2.11 +0.03
Jedi Covenant » ø 2.10 -0.02
The Shadowlands » ø 2.04 -0.09
Canderous Ordo » ø 2.03 -0.06
Prophecy of the Five » ø 1.97 -0.28
The Fatman » ø 1.86 -0.08
Jung Ma » ø 1.85 -0.01

Where the ø values are explained on their site (www.torstatus.com)

But basically the destination servers have seen a decline of -0.64 over the last 2 weeks... which is pretty drastic

EU servers are similar.

I guess Bioware secretly raised the population caps for the 3rd or 4th time? or the game is still declining?
It's summer people are out doing things, MMO's have a drop off in players during summer months for the most part. People are outside doing things, once winter hits a lot of these people come back, not all of them, but a lot. MMO's are kind of like a seasonal industry, they have the most active players when weather is bad outside, and the least when it's nice.

Six month sub here. Never again will I look at the small savings afforded by a long term comitment as a reasonable course of action when subscribing for a game.

Then why have the Australian servers dropped from all 3 being full to all 3 barely hitting standard.

BTW please dont say because its summer.

Ignoring data, attempting to bait people into speculating on things, and then accusing them of speculation after they answer your flame bait. Classic.

Lol! Same here brother. But donot feel too bad. Sometimes we have faith in a product based on our past experences and reacte because of that. Live and learn.

Will ask one more time.

You say the reason the servers are getting lighter is because its summer.

I am saying you cannot use that reason as to why the australian servers are lighter now than 2-3 months ago.

Using your reasoning they should be getting busier. They are not so your assumption is not correct.

Here is what the issue is as they have discovered it:

They have found that the company that owns the server that we play on has blocked a number of isp's and lines into the server from all over the world.

Not sure where that leave's us though.
Is a large number of people affected. Primarily from Australia.

I really like SWTOR, the only beef that i have with this game so far is i cant move my toons off of lord adraas to ebon hawk, all of my republic toons are on Ebon hawk and i dont have enough slots available. now my empire toons are just collecting dust on a dead server.

besides this issue the game is awesome in my opinion.
