Server Population is GROWING!

I think you might be confusing TOR with WoW in that regard. Haven't seen any Chuck Norris spots yet. You not like being here? Or is this a paying gig?

thats actually completely opposite of the truth. lol
29 have growth, 87 have decrease. lol
Thats for US

in Euro, all but 3 have a decrease.

I'm going with $$$$$. The trolls are out in full force to defend certain other games that they fear this one is going to kill for them. Content locusts who made 50 and did "everything" wil be back every time there's a patch with new content...their locust swarm will devour the crop and they'll be gone again for a little while in between that and the next aptch. Meanwhile, everyone else with a normal life will just keep chuggin along a couple hours per day, enjoying themselves immensely.

Aion is F2P now, it didn't really hit off in the west. It's still massive in korea. Aion did need server merges though, which made everything better with more people coming back etc.

I think some people forget what it's like to have fun.

Glad you and I aren't one of them.

Life is to short to hate so much.

Well according to this Swtor has about half the hourly pop of Wow.. not too shabby for a dying game

what i see with http://www.torstatus.net/shards/us/stats is that if is it even close to accurate is that they could merge half the servers into the other have and mostly all high pop servers.



Honestly they fell into the launch "trap" people QQed about queue times to get onto the servers so they opened more, and in doing so over expanded, they lost some players others simply so not play as much. However by over expanding the servers went from almost all having queues to some being barren waste lands and the people on those servers are suffering, and have to start over on new server or are going to end up quiting. Either way people will be less then happy.



This game is awesome but i for one hate the fact that in order to play republic i had to leave Saber of Exar Kun, gear and money aside because that is pretty easy to get back, i lost 42 legacy levels which will take MONTHS to get back especially after the recent XP change to legacy.

Agreed 100%.

Online and profitable in the East and a ghostown in the West. Going F2P in Europe and pretty much the poster child for what MMO companies shouldt do. However, Bioware seems to be hellbent on not learning and moving just as glacially slow.

I see you didn't play Aion West because for the first three months the game was doing just as well as SWTOR is now. It wasn't until January 2010 that players saw how much many of the games systems wouldn't be changing anytime soon and left in droves. That moment for SWTOR I fear is coming with patch 1.2 and the massive disappointment when players realize many issues talked to death on forums won't be fixed. The only fact here is that you have a misguided sense what path this game is going down and you probably will continue until the merges start and look around to find the real 2012 MMOs coming out very soon. Bioware really had something special here but poor implementation and taking forever to get out updates will restrict this to a mere niche market and far under the profitable half-million they need to sustain the game.

Your problem is the fact that the republic faction is almost non existent on Chuundar which is why me and my friends decided to leave that server some time ago.

Now on our current server we have 250+ on the fleet in prime time and the number of people on the planets is constantly increasing, not the other way around, also some servers that were standard these days show heavy population.

I would have to agree with the OP, the population does seem to increase.
