The end of the arguement. Is SWTOR in decline? Can it be saved?

This morning I spilled my hot cup of tea down my freshly pressed blouse and exclaimed, "Damn you, !@#$% BIOWARE!" Is there nothing these guys can't screw up?

So by this post I can assume you don't have a level 50 and you don't have legacy level 6... Both are easy to obtain and you still have a few more days to get there so this post is stupid.

So a nowhere site reports that they are laying people off on X date and when that didn't happen they say "we are still right but no it's in the near future".

Here is the thing. I'm sure that SWTOR sold more initial units than expected (if it is around 3M units) and probably has a lower retention rate than originally projected. Welcome to ADD America.

I just don't understand people. IT'S A GAME. Who cares? I'll play it while I get enjoyment out of it and when I don't, I'll stop playing.

Seriously, all the doomsayers and forum trash - who cares? If you don't like it then leave it's not really that momentous a decision in your life. And if it is, then you need to reassess where you are at.

Can it be saved? Yes because it's such a pressing issues. G.A.M.E.

Correct, actually. One too many servers.

Makes the game look small. Causes quits from low pop environments.

Launching with too many servers was one of BW's mistakes with this game.

And as for Warhammer, pffff, I think Age of Conan has 3 servers left and it's still going.

Agreed. People whined about them having to queue. They add WAY too many servers and now they whine they don't have anyone to play with.

This

Yeah that is what I want. I want to get home from a day at work and get stuck in a queue. If the game does not have a queue, it MUST be failing right?

Oh wait, my server in WoW NEVER has a queue.

Again, people need to actually THINK. The servers were more active at launch because, guess what, it was the HOLIDAYS!! Nearly everybody was on break. How can it be such a shock that the servers are not always full anymore? Now that I am back at work, I do not play the game that much. Not because I do not like the game, but because after working I want to go out, or do something else. I do not always have to play this game RIGHT after I get done from work until I go to bed.

A pidgeon dropped his... euuurm.. droppings on me while I was going to work, so I had to go back home and change my blouse.

Obviously, it's BioWare's fault. DAMN U BIOWARE.

Hmm... video game company lays off a lot of employees after shipping a title. You realize this almost always happens, right? Most of the video game industry is run by idiots.

UPDATE - EA has issued a statement on the matter, telling MCV "There are no lay-offs as such, we always have projects growing and morphing. At any given time there are new people coming in and others leaving. EA is growing and hiring and building teams to support the growing demand for digital games and services."
