World of Warcraft was broken and unplayable until about the 6th or 7th month and PvP was literally non existent until the 8th or 9th month. SWTOR just needs time not to mention you guys have such damn high standards set for this game you need to realize Bioware has no MMO experience until this game. Give it a damn rest. Yes this is a huge problem, but it takes time to fix these things and the fact that you all want instant gratification and call Bioware incompetent just shows it. If this game had no market and completely sucks why would Blizzard be trying so hard to get people to return? It's not the whole community that is having this problem its only about 25% of the servers. And before you say anything I'm on Thendys Noori the second lowest populated PvP server on the East Coast peak hours we have about 10-15 people on in the fleet (not to mention I'm Republic).
That was the problem though. That what people warned them about. You need to do something to distinguish yourself from games before you.

EQ had huge head start over WoW. But they changed enough and improved enough that it didn't matter.

With this game, I like the story and single player game better, But I'm done that now and I have moved on to PvP. Where I will have to wait years paying 15 dollars a month to get the content in WoW today.

Thats the problem. They have no real stand out features for the long term right now

What is comes down too is that they were after easy money not retention, they thought people would be sucked in by voice acting and play a bad game over and over, so it become the most instanced based boring questing game ive ever played and if you remove voice acting it has nothing worth while. In truth they are lieing about the subs and this game has probably 700k playing it right now, by mid year I suspect about 400k and by end of the year probably 300-200k players if that.

The first GW sucked. And I am not too impressed with the new one coming out. Just looks like a rehash of the same old GW, but with better graphics. No tank or healer classes? That is misleading as I watched a boss fight and one party member had to put up his tank damage reduction spec and gear. In other words they did not all just start banging away at the boss the way they came into the dungeon to begin with. Would have to play the beta to convince me and there is noway I will buy it when it comes out without some free play first to try it out.

Instead keep your eye on the Secret World coming out in June. TOR will have a lot of challenges to face the upcoming months and needs to step up to the plate and hit a home run.

I like how the SWTOR-killer is a moving target (Diablo 3, GW2, Tera, and now it's Secret World). I've always enjoyed a good mystery!

No mystery there. WoW was "under attack" by WoW killers for years and years (still is, the last contender was named..well.. TOR).. and its still alive and kicking.

And new "killers" will continue to emerge until it does step down for whatever reason.. thats just the way it is.

None of those will "kill" TOR. As TOR did not "kill" WoW like so many said it would. But it "will" have a impact on thier subs and even more so if TOR does not offer some more and better reasons to stay than what they can offer at the present. Even the very old MMO Ultima Online is still active and has never went to FTP. But it's sub base is also very low.

the same 30 people are making the same posts, the problem isn't that bad
its only a few servers
Go to whitebeam run please. I just took a couple screen shots and left an open comment and I get flamed for it.. This is whats wrong with these forums. I said nothing in my comment negative I said "An update to server pop at this time in the day". Lol... Good to see forums are truly just full trolls. Minus a few.

PS: I also am surprised you guys cant possibly fathom a server with a pop that low at noon. So you make accusations of "Doctoring Screenshots". -Laughable.

Furthermore to those that say you shouldn't have picked a ****** server." When making a char for the first time now a days it throws you in a character selection screen of a server that is pre picked. So if you are new to mmos entirely, you will not notice this.

Meh, I'm on a low population server and rather enjoying it. My wife and I can play cooperatively and be pretty much left alone.

I was being sarcastic.
Meanwhile, in Tera general chat -
