Perhaps the dropping in population described has something to do with the instances system I hear they put in the game. Plus the insane number of servers which spreads out the population really thin. But you certainly can't say the population overall is low because this game is in the top 10 from players number perspective!
Ya. Maybe if they made the player instances (not zone instances) all one instance on a server things might improve?
Can we please just have our pre-KotFE SWTOR MMORPG back?

Yeah but trying to use Reddit, olol, to boost the creditability of a post on 4Chan is plain stupid.

It's all beside the point because unless you're breathing through your mouth you already knew EA, and every other large publisher, makes use of viral marketing. You can see it going on with GW2 right now.

As you wish. Here's a nice article that was relatively easy to find. It's not the only one.


The practice isn't just standard, it's so well known that it's got it's own word that even conservative etymology puts at about a century old.

Big big big big problem on my server (Bondar Crystal) Republic side. Republic were always severely outnumbered on this server, but lately it seems like the population is just diminishing to ridiculously low numbers. The other day I was in the fleet in the afternoon and there were 5 republic players on including myself. I thought "well I'll check the Imp side and see how things are over there." I don't play Imp currently, but my daughter does, so I hopped on her character and found there were 50 Imps on in their fleet. Yes. They outnumbered us 10 to 1. 10 to freakin 1!!!! It's nigh impossible to find groups to do anything with.

My friends and I were assigned to this server automatically because we took advantage of the pre-order guild creation tool and having leveled our toons to 50, we really really really don't want to have to abandon our guild and re-roll on another server.

Something really needs to be done. I don't know what that something is. I'm not raging about this. It just makes me sad because I like this game a lot and it's becoming more and more frustrating to play.

Warzones frequently end early because there aren't enough Republic players to fill the team, and when they do fill up, it's usually a couple minutes into it, so the Imps have steamrolled us since we start out outnumbered. Frustrating!

Tor is like a fruit, sour to start, then becomes ripe before it spoils. Hang on it will be ripe someday.

While I wish that you are rigth. My belief fades a bit everyday.
