Your mentality is the problem.

agreed. all the fanboys forget to take into account the free 30 days BW handed out to almost all subscribers (with lvl 50s). So sure - the subscribes are the same numbers, but that's because all of the people who unsubbed/went inactive are now SUBBED and active because of the free month. Hell, It wouldn't surprise me if some people didn't even realize they have 30 days of play time still on their accounts.

This.

Your son also doesn't pay you a monthly fee for ice cream. If you told your son in 3 months you'll be getting some new flavor of ice cream, then a day before the big moment you went, "Oh yea sorry son, we won't have the new flavor for an undetermined amount of time. We just realized after making 100 batches that the ice cream doesn't taste good and the cups are way too big. We do have cones though!" I'm pretty sure your son would be skeptical of any future ice cream endeavors. He may even give it up all together and try out some new Korean ice cream that actually tastes good - and has sprinkles!

The difference is I don't HATE swtor - just sorely disappointed the direction BW decided to go in. If there is any direction at all..

Or we've already unsubbed and still enjoy watching the fanbois defend BW till the bitter end (or when my previous sub runs up)

So let me get this straight. You have gripes with a game that's been out for well over a year in Korea, and is starting to see some bumps in the road. This is one country (although massive for mmos) it still doesn't include the rest of the world. The "official" release isn't even till May 1st. SWTOR has been out for 5 months and is having just as much, if not more issues, all across the globe. I've yet to see 1 major problem with Tera, besides the Elin pedophile look thing, which is just aesthetics. I guess I'll just wait and see.

So play the other races, I do. The game is insane fun once you settle down and get a few abilities under your belt.

Keep your eyes peeled. Jeramie will be doing this sort of thing for quite some time. Sooner or later he'll be dissecting his own posts.

Same on my server Port Nowhere. Me and my buddy were on Hoth Friday night (that's right, a Friday night) and the entire planet had a whopping 3 people! That is one other guy roaming the planet with me and my buddy! I just unsubbed after playing Tera this weekend. Game is way funner than this, plus it actually has people! Sorry, fed up with all the incompetence and short comings of BW. Maybe I'll be back when they get their heads straight. But then it'll prob be too late.

It also wasn't logical for them to put off population issues, faction imbalance, server merges, LFG tool, open world PvP, ranked PvP, promoting exploration, end game content (both PvE and PvP). I could go on but I'll just unsub and go play Tera.

The graphics in Tera compared to swtor isn't even a contest. Not even close. Everyone agrees on this. Literally everyone comparing the two have agreed on this. They aren't even close in terms of graphics. swtor uses DX9

This. I'm out of here come tomorrow @ noon est. /closethread

Exactly my thoughts. Jaav must be a dev himself.

And everyone already knows transfers will just make things worse.

.... who cares? They are ignoring the community and already said merges aren't a priority. That's imcompetence no matter which way you swing it.

"so you can't really blame BIOWARE for the low population on YOUR server." Ugh, yes I can. They made the servers like this by not properly managing them correctly. Release game with like 10 servers. They figured it wasn't enough so added 80ish. Now the populations are spread too thin and by this time people have already lvled to 50. Now they say merges aren't a priority and populations are fine. Incompetence. Period. We shouldn't have to re-roll at all because the devs can't even manage their servers correctly.

This guy is so misinformed it's unbelievable.

Skidrow's at it again. Defending BW/EA from the tyranny of unhappy customers!

The only ones worth mentioning. Seriously though, there's like 15 Standard servers during prime time and mines at the bottom of that list. The rest are Low population, with the exception of 2-3 Heavy. Edit: Also I love how I asked you nicely and just dismiss me off. Whatever though, not like you telling me is gonna change anything.

Which server are you on? Anchor? Fatman? My guild had 210 total members, about 30 active. Dwindled down to 12 active and we had to merge with another guild. We have done this TWICE now and this one is finally starting to breath it's last breath. 8-12 actives again with an overall 180 total members, on Port Nowhere.

Is that why almost every person I know with a 50 (including myself) simply have NOTHING to do? It's the reason they gave out the 30 day subscription - to keep the 50s from jumping ship since they have nothing to do but earn War Hero gear (which is obtainable after a couple of weeks). Even their subscription count is factoring in those free 30 days they gave out, so even people who left the day of 1.2 and have 30 free days on their accounts are still not logging in, yet they are being counted because their subscription is "active".

**** it's skid again. Can you not read? I didn't say that merges are going to take a while - because I know that. I didn't say I don't understand how they work. I am literally quoting what is on the website: player behavior and mergers are not a priority. We are not a priority and neither are merges, which seems to be the #1 concern with this game. How am I the one being ignorant, yet you can't even read what's in front of you?

Quoted from Joystiq: ""BioWare claims subscriptions for the pricey Star Wars: The Old Republic haven't dropped, merely that concurrent users at peak times have declined. Speaking to PC Gamer, BioWare lead writer Daniel Erickson noted the change in player behavior and that server mergers are coming, but not a priority" Excellent BW. People are fed up with low population servers and being felt ignored by the devs - yet you plainly say our behavior and mergers are not a priority.. It's really unbeleivable the amount of incompetence from BW. Tera and GW2 here I come!
