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.
Maybe incentives can be given via the Legacy system for Rep/Imp?

New races, gear, etc.

The stats sites are bunk. They can't be trusted because BW hasn't opened their doors to them yet. The moment these sites can verify their accuracy and their sources is the moment they become a viable resource. They won't verify their accuracy or their sources (should read each site's disclaimer - if they even have one) or there'd already be an "armory." BioWare's own server status' can't be trusted either because they keep changing the thresholds on us.

So in the absence of statistical fact, competing truths are spun from competing opinions - which is all any of this is. That leaves raw & undoctored screenshots as the only hard evidence available. Discounting the only available hard evidence for what a player experiences in-game is merely slamming the door on something one doesn't want to see.
Can we please just have our pre-KotFE SWTOR MMORPG back?

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.

Not really.

All other sites that track information like server population show that the population of the game is staying rather still at the moment with intermittent periods of gains and drops.

Aside from that just claiming 1 server has seen an increase in players in fleet means absolutely nothing about the rest of the game.

Let me get this straight on what your saying.

The sites that monitor server status to give a graph of population thrends is not a trustful source. SWTOR's server status page is not a valid source since we dont know what the numbers are.

So taking a screenshot of a page that you say is not a valid source is now a valid source because hard evidence?

All you did was say a bunch of words that didnt mean a thing just to try and verify those screenshots as proof the population is growing.
If this game is so great then why do so many people that love the game spend all their time in the forums?

I dont know how anyone can say that server population is growing. I use to play on AJunta Pall server, supposed to be one of the heavily populated servers. I had terrible time finding groups for FPs and group quests, until i gave up at level 44 and stopped playing.

My friend is still playing on the same realm and things are even worse now. It takes ages to find group for anything.

Stop misleading new forum users, server population has dropped significantly since launch, not sure where its at now, but finding groups is frustrating and one of most painful things in the game.
