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 predication is duly noted.

My prediction is around 3 million world wide in 6 months.

Both are speculation and easily discredited.

They need to list faction % on the server lists and if that doesn't help then t hey need to shut down character creation for a faction when it hits more then 60-65%
When the Word Troll is not strong enough

that's actually a good idea.

You should go back to whining about your precious textures, if you spread too thin some might think that the only reason you are paying sub for this game is to troll it and bash Bioware.

Fleet doesn't count.
The worlds are dead and will continue to be so.

They just should have a released a game call "Star Wars Fleet!!".
And then just have everything run from there, i.e. - FlashPoints, Raids, etc..

Oh wait, that's what we already have.

As BW releases more copies of the game, more players log in.

Tis a good day.

Edit:

I added these screenshots from the thread: NA Server Status 9:48 EST: Population Thriving!

That thread was created on February 18, 2012.

A screenshot at a single point in time , or even 4 is not a trend. Look at swtor status "population trend". It is hardly "increasing". Though it does not seem to be dropping either in the last 4 weeks.

This is dumb... way too early to tell if this game is growing or dying, unfortunately there is a good chance it may end up like Warhammer in a years time.

Of course, all this depends on Bioware/EA actually telling the truth and not cooking figures to help their quarterly earnings reports and share price.

But we all know this never happens..... (Lehman Brothers, Fanny Mae, Freddie Mac etc).
Many Bothans died to bring you that information.

So then when you get a friend or co-worker to try the game, he logs in and can't create a character of your faction on the same server, do you think that would be good?

You can't force players to play certain sides on certain servers or you would lose business.

What is needed is a way to encourage players to roll the smaller percentage faction on a server.
