Server Population is GROWING!

The only fact is that there is no objective information pointing to growth or decline thus your statement about "facts" is moot.

What is even worse is how you personally are defining growth/decline by how many people you see in fleet. Not that you should do this, but you clearly have not done any in depth research as far as being able to actually chart numbers in zones.

I'll give you an example. If 3 weeks ago the avg number people in your fleet was 100, and today it is 50. but 3 weeks ago the avg number of people on coruscant was 70 but today it is 120, that could suggest that many of the people who 3 weeks ago were level 50 decided to role alts and experience different storylines.

You'd have to do much much more research like opposing faction #'s(perhaps ppl are trying the other side).

Youd have to have sub #'s for your specific servers. 3 weeks ago College's across the country started classes - perhaps you had a server with lots of college kids, and now they are playing at a different time than you so you dont see them

TL;DR - you don't have nearly enough data to determine whether your server is growing/declining since there are a million variables as to why the # of people in fleet during the times you play decline/grew.

I updated the OP with screenshots taken from last night that show most servers were Standard/Heavy. It was very close with the Standard/Heavy servers.

May not be growing substantially, but it is a healthy looking population.


(And that's a good thing, yes?)

Lucky you, server xfers coming soon.

That should settle the issue for those very few light servers.

Paid or free? Again we don't know. I don't want to have to pay x amount because Bioware released a few too many servers early, or people disliked the game so they left or for what ever reason.

They've not said if it would be free or not for certain declining realms but I sure hope it is (Much like the system Rift had - possibly not every 7 days but it was still good)

Just can't please you, so I'm not even going to try.

/sigh

Can sigh all you want, but Im giving you hard numbers of who is on my server at the moment with the population of standard. Republics had under 200 people, empire had just over 300 - So it seems to be the level of "Standard" is about 500+ maybe even less?

I think so

My personal experience has been an increase in population. I leveled a sith to 38 but was concerned because planets seemed low pop. I decided to try out republic side and there was a lot more people. My server just happens to be a heavy republic side it seems and it seemed like growth went up in the last few weeks.

In the end it's academic.

Even if numbers come out and show a small decline or even a growth I know I wont be back on here like HAHAH TOLD U SO NAYSAYERS RAWR!

I do believe the nay-sayers will be back on here like they won some sort of victory or proved a point.
