Oh just shut up. People pay up every month for this game. Are you asking them to be FORCED to play by themselves and not be able to do any group content because Bioware hasn't provided any character transfers yet? So unless you are willing to pay for those peoples subs you need to keep quiet. Rift had transfers two months after launch. Tera had transfers on HEAD START so pops can be balanced from day one. This is a 200 million dollar + game created by the biggest RPG powerhouse and a publisher swimming in cash, yet they don't have transfers up this far in?

My thread was closed so I will post this here. So...Stephen Reid was part of the lay offs. What now? We're going to get even less communcation than we normally do? Why would you lay off the community manager? Second of all, only EA can make an MMO that sells over 2 million copies in a couple of months and has over a million subscribers according to them and not make a killing somehow. ANY OTHER company would be ecstatic to have these sort of numbers but somehow EA overspent so damn much on developing this game and advertising it that they need to let people go. It's management that should be fired. But of course like in any corporation the actual people doing the work are let go and the managers untouched. Now you have less people thus fewer individuals that need to be managed but the same number of managers making big bucks doing nothing but royally screwing over projects. Nice job EA. What Bull.

I enjoyed the atmosphere, story, and game-play. However I couldn't stand the flaky performance and low population. So I am quitting.

I'm not asking them to improve the graphics. I'm asking them to improve the performance so it runs on par to how it looks. Tera looks much better than this game and runs better. TSW is a DX11 MMO that uses all the bells and whistles a modern high end PC game has such as tesselation, volumetric effects, bokeh DoF, parallex Occlusion, soft shadows, etc. and it somehow runs better than ToR even though it's in beta and has a debugger running in the background. So that's what I'm saying. Improve the performance in this game.

A week ago it was fine. But since Diablo 3 came out this game is a ghost town.

Tera had server transfers ready for overcrowded servers the day before release DURING headstart. Because of it the queues on the most popular servers were cut by over half and now every server they have is balanced and has players. How does this massive company not have any server transfers this long after release. Sorry but I can't deal with the population anymore. I'm out. With Tera and Diablo 3 out I'm not going to pay $15 a month to play by myself. At this point the game needs merges not just transfers. Talk about a waste of resources having all these extra servers up. Waste of freaking money that can be better spent elsewhere. Oh well not my problem now. Ever since D3 came out even during prime time the game only has 1 or 2 heavy servers, 6 standard, and the rest are just light. Diablo 3 pretty much killed this game. PS: How is it that Tera has 5x the detail and graphical power of this game yet runs butter smooth and this game looks like it was made in 2008 and runs like a hog.

God, people can't read. That is ONE analyst, note: ANALYST IE: Outside source who SPECULATES One analyst saying they had moved people to help finish SWTOR. As in before the game was out. So many people need to just go back to school instead of play MMO's.

OP needs to go back to elementary school. That's a 10% drop not 25%. Also, I guess being the second biggest MMO is failing? Got it.

So wait...you got an email saying you are eligible for 30 days? How come I didn't get one =( I'm active and was legacy level six a few days before the time was up to get it.

80% of the servers are heavy/full? What? Today 3 were full, two were very heavy, 5 were heavy. Rest were standard and light. Why are you lying. We can get the stats you know.

Yeah I like seeing everything and taking things at a calm pace so I'm only level 44 but I've been here since first day of early access. Pre ordered the very hour it was announced so kind of sucks. I also don't have a recurring sub at the moment because next month seems busy for me but I have game time left so I don't think it's fair if I don't at least qualify for the pet =/ Looks like I have to pay 15 bucks for a month I'll barely be able to play just to qualify for it on the 21st.

I'd like to know this as well. I cancelled my recurring payment but I still have days left and no ban. Will those of us in this position receive it as well? No mail as of yet.

For all those who think it's dying or dead and what not. Just leave. Seriously, according to you all you have cancelled your subs. Do you not have anything better to do than troll a forum to a game you don't play? You are not wanted here. These forums have turned so toxic it's ridiculous. Just go away and leave those of us who enjoy it alone. Can't make one thread here without some of you derailing it.

Oh FFS why cant someone start a thread without adding some troll statement? If the game is dying ****. Leave. Go play something else. These are the worst forums I've ever been to. Destructoid called it the 4chan of video game forums. That's how bad so many of you are.

You need to be banned for the title of this thread.

Is this thread serious? A game that hasn't even been released and was scheduled for 2014 is being turned into a single player game because the publisher is flat out broke and near bankruptcy. Note the NOT RELEASED part. How the hell is SWTOR a game that has already released going to be re-designed as a SP game...do people even think anymore? Ugh...

You don't have a handful of people working on the game to say let them concentrate on gameplay and new features. There are dept's with x number of people working on each. The visual side has nothing to do with fixing the gameplay and what not. This should have been taken care of long ago. Also, this issue is in 1.2 test and I doubt they are going to add it in before it goes live. At this point I'm just skeptical if they will ever care to fix it.

Yes because a SINGLE game is going to have that large of a effect on stocks for a massive corporation like EA. You know...no other factor can take place right? Like projected earnings, performance of other games, the economy, etc. It all depends on SWTOR. Second of all, a third party agency signs off on investor reports. If EA was to lie there would be a serious fine and the company would be sued. Funny thing is the biggest investors have a buy rating for EA and it directly points to future profits from SWTOR being the result of the rating. If you dislike the game stop playing and stop posting here.

I hope people know this isn't just a problem with JK. Inquisitor suffers from the same issue. I honestly think it is ridiculous that this issue has not been fixed so long after launch. Can't they get someone from the correct department to just fix this thing? I'm not going to pretend to know how much effort it would take but it shouldn't take multiple days to fix something like this would it? It looks so terrible I just can't stand it. Something like this should have been fixed a while back. It's not even fixed on the test servers for 1.2.

Don't know why I bother since I know how some people will spin this and call it a conspiracy because obviously there isn't a third party agency that signs off on these to make sure they're accurate /sarcasm But here you go: http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2012-03-08-star-wars-the-old-republic-sitting-at-nearly-1-7-million-paid-subscribers As of March 1st the game is still at 1.7 million subs now with the vast majority beyond the first month. By the end of June the game is estimated to have 2 million active subs if it continues expanding at this rate.

#1. They didn't leave to make another MMO they're making an indie game. #2. Shutting the servers down? Really? Over 2 million sold and last number was 1.7 mil active with majority passed the first month. #3. If you slaved away at something for over 5 years wouldn't you be sick of it too and wanting to work on something else? Why is it that when a major Blizzard developer leaves people don't say "OMG main Diablo dev left Diablo is gonna suck!!" Enough with these conspiracies.

No one even knows how many of those people even played the game. Considering you have scores of "0/10 LOL Wow Clone LOLOLOLOL" About 500 of the damn scores are trolls with one sentence reviews giving it a 0/10.

Yup jump from a ship of 1.7 mil subs. I find it hilarious how the lot of you who troll this game and hate on it still pay for it.

Down time for patch? People cry. No patch? People cry.
