This chart is complete bull. GW2 is not more popular than SWTOR.

I think since Galactic Strongholds was released, SWTOR made a important change. Guilds have a lot more importance. Before, it was just a social club and a slight experience boost. Now you can hang with your friends and work towards something while competing with other guilds. One of the best decisions SWTOR has made, IMO. I think this game is attracting a lot of people and retaining them cause there is a lot of content in this game and it takes a while to work through storylines (usually for me its 2-3 months per character at the rate I play per week).

Time sinks and completionist charts definitely "work" and help with retention and with conquests, collections, achievements, reputations, decorations they added a lot of them now to the game.

Well, lets look at the chart for a second. While I find the information intriguing. The sample population may not be very large. This only tracks the times played by Raptr players. So at most, it is interesting anecdotal data.

Personally, I believe the game is doing welll (and improving), I am definitely seeing more activity with Strongholds & Conquest. So do not subscribe to the Doooommmmm threads.

Not sure how much of the "PC Gamer" population uses Raptr to be honest. I downloaded it once, and took it off the same day. But thats just me.

The people that left this game for those 2 other ones were apparently replaced by more and this game is far from dying. It's doing quite well. I liked what Galactic Strongholds did, and I'm looking forward to the next expansion!

Good post. Yes, every time a new MMO comes out "SWTOR is toast". I've always failed to comprehend how a respected company with a popular IP that spent (it has been estimated) nearly $200 million on development is going to be undone by by some one-off. Wildstar... it sounds like some western.

Hey, it's probably a good game and I'm hardly a snob - anybody here play Seed, Tabula Rasa, and Fallen Earth? I just don't see anything in the immediate horizon that is going to get me to unsubscribe.

...beyond the horizon... I'm not sure I'll be able to resist the Chris Robert's Star Citizen!

The conquest system has a lot of flaws but it`s definitely an improvement and a step into the right direction. Same with the Strongholds.
