I played both, enjoyed them for what they were, then left. (For all it's faults, I had a lot of fun in WAR) They did not see po pdecreases because of server mergers.. WAR saw decreases because the endgame pvp was broken, and Rift because people played it, finished it, and moved on.
SWTOR was fun enough, but at level 42, there are rarely more than 10 players on any of the world's I am on. (Gardens of Talia). 10. I am on a pvp server, and was looking forward to some open world pvp. NO such luck - I have seen about three republic players since I started playing the game.
I would be happy to transfer, or for my server to be merged, but right now I dont feel its worth paying a sub for this.
No drama. No grand statements. It just is what it is.
