Server population is dropping...

Sadly that is about how it is for a lot of people. Stop paying and use remaining time to play on Fatman hoping something turns around.

*sigh* I wish the trolls sub time would run out. :/

Game is growing. Accept it. Call me out all you want.

I agree, there is a reason they have the server caps set so low. They know the client is complete crap.

Last night I logged in around 11pm central time, I checked the server selection screen and had only one heavy server, the rest were standard or light.

I'm on my third sever now, I've left two because they were dead and now it looks like the one I'm on now is starting to head that way, out of a 50 person guild only 2 were on. I think there are a lot of people like me who bought 3 month subs expecting to have a long crazy trip in SWTOR who are now just riding out the sub. 16 days left on my 3 month I got at release... I wonder what sub numbers will look like after april when the 3 months run out for people who got them at release?

prove it?

growing but only one heavy server and the rest standard or light at 11 pm CST on wed night?

You sir are incorrect.

Will call you out because many posts indicate just the opposite of what you feel or believe. Call it an opinion, call it a fact, call it whatever you want but if the people posting in the thread and say their server has X amount of people at X time, it is what it is.

Most people are not even arguing that the game is or is not growing. What they are stating again and again is that the need for server merging is higher than patch 1.2. Why? Because you can't play much of a game when no one is on. Warzones don't start or if they do it is a instant loss due to having too few people or aborting. Can't field a group for a flashpoint, heroic side quest, or even building a datacron inside the fleet. Market doesn't have materials or items on it.

People that are just starting today or yesterday can choose a higher populated server (of the two there anyway). Those of us who have 1 or more 50's can't because of the time we already have invested. It has been beat to death already. Yes, it is a choice, a subscriber choice. But it isn't our problem to fix. It is BioWare's.

Maybe you are ok with the population of the server you roll on. Maybe you are one of the few who moved to address it on your own. Maybe you already play on a higher populated server and don't have our problems. Maybe you play Imperial and don't see it because of the faction imbalance. Or, maybe you do and I'm wrong.

But let us just call a spade a spade.

Dragon Trail (West Coast PvP server):
Republic Fleet - 12
1132 AM PST / 1432 PM EST Corrected for server timezone

Fatman (East Coast PvP server):
Ord Mantell - 51
1134 AM PST / 1434 PM EST Corrected for server timezone

Not even close now is it??? Starting planet has more than a Republic Fleet I'm glad I can't get to Fatman's fleet - I'd probably stop playing all together. I bet that place is booming.

Thank goodness there is a thread on this, was just about to start one. This is a huge issue on the servers i play on. BIOWARE PLEASE MERGE!!!!!!!! i get on and all the servers are light population and night but a few

Please don't make me to back to WoW right when they're releasing the stupid pandas... I just want to pvp without having to wait an hour for a Q.

Theres no world pvp and both servers I have characters on have immense Q's, at prime time some nights, its not terrible... I've gotten a Q in 10-15 minutes occaisionally but only certain days and only at prime time. ANy other day, any other time I'm waiting an hour or more.

It's become so rare that I get startled by the Q thing when it pops up cause I forgot I was even in the Q. This isn't an exhageration... I leveled from 43 to 44, the entire level, while waiting on a Q one day. I'ma pvper, that's just not acceptable, I'm doing other stuff 'between' pvp, not because i want to, its jus tmore productive to go quest rather than run laps around the fleet.

just logged into giradda the hutt. 145 people online total. That includes all levels in all zones.

It's only 3pm server time, sure, but 145? I'm sure people on lower population servers are gonna say they wish they had that much at prime time, last night at prime time we had up to 367. Assuming the empire has twice that, that's still barely 1000 people online on a server in a MMO. That's rediculous and my server isn't even one of the worst ones.

I got in 2 WZs, first one was instant when I logged in cause I got lucky but I joined one that started with 4 people and others trickled in so it was an auto loss fo rhte most part.

The second WZ Q took 15 minutes to pop and it started with the count down timer cause there weren't enough people.

I hate it, I've spent the last month grinding my tail off to get money for legacy unlocks for 1.2 leveling up my second 50, grinding my crewskills to 400 so I could support my 1.2 alts and collecting materials for them to do their crewskills as soon as they get their ships and now I'm thinkin all that stuff is gonna sit on a cancelled account before the legacy patch even happens.

I'm not every player, my leaving hte game wont tank it. I'm a pvper and a crafter, that's what I 'want' to do and I can't pvp regularly becuse of how long Q times are due to low population. Nothing is being done to rectify my issue adn I'm not starting over on another server and leaving 4mil credits, 400 armormech, 400 cybertech, 400 artifice, a lvl 50 and a lvl 45 and legacy lvl 13 behind because the company running this game doesn't want to take a potential PR hit and just merge their servers.

They brag about their metrics and statistics they pull from the servers, they know what's going on. The forums are swarming with these very same complaints and we don't even get a nod.

There are too many other options out there to be dealing with this the way they are. lightsabers are only gonna keep you afloat for so long.

I am on my fourth server because there were never any people on... My husband and I are already looking forward to any game other than this one and we are HUGE Star Wars fans. I am just so damn tired of having to reroll. THe dual spec will help but in my opinion it's too little to late. I am looking forward to Secret WOrld or Pandarans... or just anything else really.

That's not what they're trying to achieve. More like attract the maximum number of subs at release, because any subsequent sub is generally dependent on the actual quality of the game and not the quality of the marketing hype machine.
