take 5 minutes and roll a toon on my server,i dare you..you can log in any time a day,all day long and you will never see more than 20 people on fleet,or 5 people per planet...again my server is talos restoration project.. why do you think we are all lying? what would be the point? if there was even 50 people on my fleet always,you would never hear a word from me,but that simply isnt the case. just because your on one of the few good servers dosent mean that we are all liars..go check it out..ill wait

Did the server just suddenly drop off in pop? What I'm saying is, if you have multiple 50's on the same server, either you ignored the population problem as you were enjoying the story (and if so, then why moan about it now if the problem was ALWAYS there, hence re-roll would have been a valid option IMHO) or it's just died off as competing MMO's have arrived.

If it's option 1, then you can't really moan about things now when you knew the population on your chosen server was poor. If option 2, then I can see where your frustration is coming from and sympathise.

I guess I have a lot more patience than it would seem is average, as I only going annoyed after rolling a Jedi Knigth 5 times to 20, following my mates around various servers as they kept jumping gaming communities. Irritating *******es!
to answer your question,the server had a decent pop the first 2 months then took a dramatic downslide after that,i have no explanation why,but it did.

Yeah, Bondar-Crystal was full nearly every day back in December, I always had to wait in queues to get in. Now the server is always light, and there's never more than 10-20 people in imperial fleet. There was definitely a drop-off.

The latter was a real issue for servers that had boasted a server economy above the eventual mean, pulling them down to the point that players were incapable of generating the in-game funds needed to maintain basic game play (potions, equipment repairs, etc). The economy eventually self-corrected in these instance, but not before many left the game. A few of these servers were quietly merged with more populous guilds as a result.
I am in favor of a cross server lfg system, ive played mmos since eq1 and i really miss the tight server cummunities we used to have in mmos but those are gone, and the lfg tool didnt didnt kill them, the new breed of mmo gamers killed it. I believe that a modern mmo cannot survive without a cross server lfg tool but i hope swtor isnt the game that will prove me right, but it will be if they insist on holding out too long before they add one.

And second, how does a cross server lfg tool effect a servers economy?

So the best way is to wait for good changes in TOR back to wow or try other big hits like GW or d3. i been on beta D3 im fan of this game and i made my decission...
Who said anything about staying with this game? I certainly didn't.

I played D3 beta and thought it was horrible. I'd rather play the decade old hard to look at D2 because its by far a better game and why shouldn't it be. D2 was made during a time that game develepors knew how to make fun games. I'm done spending 60 dollars to try games that literally only have a lottery chance of being something other than complete garbage. I'm done supporting developers who don't know how to make games that are actually fun to play.

Just did there were 32 people in the newbie area where I was. I bet once I hit lvl 10 and can go to fleet there will be the same. The point you are trying to make is the server is dead. Fact is there are 32 people in the newb area alone. Why you think everyone on the server just camps fleet all day long I have no idea. Remember not everyone is lvl 50.

You would say? You have any hard numbers or anything remotely resembling facts to back this up?

I know it is bad because ive played there since release. i know it is bad because ive seen people leave, i know its bad because i can look at my guild roster of 200 people and see that 5 people have logged on in the last week or 2. i know its bad because ive rolled 4 alts on dark reaver and played through all of the planets 2-4 times and i can see the zones are usualy empty.

You are just clueless, i dont know how someone can be so dim, dont you wonder why you and 3 other dim wits are the only people claiming everyone else is full of crap and the population isnt in full decline?
So because some people in your guild left and others arent playing as much as launch? How do you know all 200 people left? Maybe they just re-rolled cross faction or went to a different server. Maybe (just maybe) not everyone who pays gets on everyday for hours and hours. Maybe (just maybe) not everyone sits in fleet all day long and are out playing the game.

For example earlier it said there were 3 people in republic fleet on my server. I was looking at over 10 people just at the GTN. Also there are two factions one of which you cannot see on your who list. You assume a lot really. Also with your winning personality I can see why noone wants to group with you.
