The game isn't doing actually in 2011 was a very busy time for me in the game. Plenty of people I kno still play and yes some have taken breaks because a lot of games came out this year even I take breaks off and on so I can make time for them. I have been very pleased and I do not plan on leaving SWTOR ever. I know some mmos do die off and I do hope this one never does. Cause I left other mmos so I can make sure to pay for this game every month.
