There are only 9 servers in all of NA that are "light" right now, 1 very heavy, and 20 heavy's.

Well obviously with all the QQ that has been happening in forums you expect at least some part of the population unsub after the 1st month. Better for me tho, doesnt have to queue for them servers anymore.

if you dont think there are people here to sabotage this game you are truly delusional and i have 3 words for you...

Sub numbers / population = directly correlated to some people's enjoyment of the game.

I hope that makes sense.. in the sense that if a world isn't bustling and populated, it's much more difficult to find groups, PVP, etc. The single-player is fun in this game, but it will not carry it through months and years as an MMO. It just won't.

That's almost an average night for SWTOR. During the day the population thins out a bit (work/school), but evenings are when most of the people jump online. Iron Citadel was Standard earlier, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was Heavy now. This isn't even a "peak" night, either (Friday and Saturday nights are when you see the pops spike).

Honestly, I'm still having a blast with my toons. Most of the people I group with are still having a blast, and one or more of us are always joking around about our gear, or our next goal, which gun drops in which instance, etc.

People are enjoying SWTOR. I don't doubt that there are those who aren't having that much fun, but there are people who are enjoying themselves.

Server pops are almost always relative to the time of day you view them. Midday, at this time of year, is almost always going to be Standard/Light - most people are at work or in class. Evening, unsurprisingly, is much more active and lively. That is pretty par for the course.

There may be people who PERSONALLY want the game to fail, but there is no grand conspiracy or sabotage. There just isn't. BioWare did enough of that on their own. Sorry, but this is the truth.

why wouldn't he be? 1200 people online at the same time on one faction is a good number. About the same amount that is online simultaneously on a healthy WoW server.

It makes perfect sense. It's just not something I concern myself with, it's BioWare's problem, not mine.

That's only one faction, and not even counting unique users. If 1,400 people isn't enough for you...

How many people do you personally need to get stuff done? 10,000? Last I checked flashpoints were 4-man, operations were 8-16 man, and pvp was 8 vs 8...

Seriously, stop worrying about every other server in the game. Find the one you want to be on with a population suited for you, get into a guild and do all the content you want. There are only 7 light US servers at the moment! There are more heavy and far more standard than light, and between 8-10 CST even more servers fill up...
I shot first.
