Server Population is GROWING!

ah... look... it's Riddickcz the guy who wants the game to fail to reassure himself GW2 will be good. Lol dude, ngl, you're on every forum post. Get a life.

I guess pure numbers show nothing now adays. I've not "ignored" the fact that I might have alot of college kids on. The fact that theres more people on at 12:00 resets than in the evening goes to show that we have alot of people that may not be in college, school or have a job.

The fact is, population is dropping, ALOT of people i've gotten to know have left the game, and the vast majority if not 95% of the guild I am in have all been over 18 (not by selective recruitment).

More and more people are not logging on, we've gone down from 25-30 people in the guild to under 10 unless its a raid.

You're right, theres millions of millions of reasons, but you can say that all you want - there is and has been a decline on my server especially. There might not be enough data out there, you're right, and the fact I've been monitoring my servers population proves nothing it would seem.

But after speaking to alot of the major pve guilds who are progressing, finding out more and more guilds are folding because guild leaders, and majority of members have left for what ever their reason is speaks for itself.

We have about 1-2 top end PvE guilds and the rest just seem to be social guilds.

And like I've been saying "Perhaps people are trying the opposite side but want to try on a diff server(that would be a net loss for your server, but not overall population of the game, thus population would not change overall)" - not all servers are dying (Don't know if you've even paid attention to me continuously saying this because I know its not the case with EVERY server or the game "dying"), but in particular my one seems to be suffering.

And 500+ people make the server standard. Without numbers from Bioware we can't confirm anything, but with people constantly in /1 saying servers dead, people looking for hours for queues, and seeing the same faces over and over again really doesn't fill my heart full of hope.

Yeah I've come to recognize about 25-30 regulars on these forums who really don't like the game soo much that it has ruined their lives and they need someone to talk to.

Riddicks and emeda are terrifyingly angry. Riddicks because of what you mentioned about GW2 and Emeda because she is angry/upset that this game in it's first couple months sold more copies and has a bigger playerbase than SWG did in its entire life-cycle of 8 years or whatever it was.(sold a little over a million total copies)

SWG was the worst excuse for a mmo I've ever played. I tried it for a couple weeks, uninstalled it, went back to anarchy online (yes even anarchy online was better) untill WoW released.

Anyway, theres like 25-30 people in these forums who need a friend because this game isn't working out for them.

Hahaha, keep dreaming my friend, keep dreaming.

I dunno, AO was pretty bad :P

Emeda will never fully comprehend that SWG was a niche mmo(she thinks 300k subs at peak marks it as one of the greatest most popular mmo's ever even though it was documented at that time that the entire game population was regularly under 10k online even at peak)

SWG was no different in that sense than Eve. It appealed to a niche, hardcore base.

But yeah - it's pretty bad if you left SWG for AO yikes!

The problem is I have seen many of the exact same issues in SWG as SWTOR is having.
