While it's probably not 100% accurate as these are 3rd party numbers, the general idea is probably correct: http://www.torstatus.net/shards/us/stats Scroll to the bottom and note the "Overall Change" value. For the record, I intend to keep playing as--at the very least--the character storylines are interesting to follow. I just hope the general population starts trending the opposite direction as it'll make life at the end-game more entertaining.

I understand that mistakes happen, and I also understand that many times it helps if one steps back and looks at situations with some perspective. Personally, I feel the best way for Bioware to respond would be to send out a free SWTOR DVD installer to those affected so--for those of us that bought the digital version of the game--we're spared having to re-download the full game in the chance that something like this should happen again.
