Take my word for it, it's much worse on the Republic side of KS.

Anyone else getting this? Running Win7 64bit with the latest version of Firefox. Get the blue rotating windows icon and the (Not Responding) text at the top of the Firefox window. Only happens when opening a thread. Loading the forum itself is fine.

Yep, that's MORE than enough people to play with, and a lot of monthly income for Bioware. They just need to reduce the amount of servers. Drastically. That would be a huge boon to the game overall.

Yeah. We've all seen it. Early Summer. Hint: It means ---- early in the Summer.

If you mean that you hope that Bioware opens transfers from dead servers to the massively populated ones like Swiftsure, you really should not hold your breath.

On internet gaming forums? Seems like a sound financial practice

And I suppose you're an example of this, eh?

Gonna say Naboo. It was a beautiful city in SWG, it could be here, too.

4th quarter fiscal results? Are you people stock brokers or gamers?

If by "Transfer" they mean a complete transfer of ALL characters off any given server(s), then it'll all be the same to me. Sounds like you're just arguing semantics.

Leveling to 50 IS too fast. There's plenty of good content to look forward to while leveling. Hell, it's mostly all that this game's got. But indeed, it is too late. Too many people are 50 now. Damage is done.

Yep. I don't see how a server transfer ALONE is going to alleviate the problem. Allowing transfers TO a dead server won't help -- who'd want to go to a dead server? Allowing them FROM dead servers would be insane, as the remaining population would be even more screwed. Close and merge the dead servers. Period.

I can't possibly imagine anyone wanting to transfer TO a dead server, only away from it (which it wouldn't make sense for them to even allow). Transfers will not be enough. We need to close servers and merge them. Tough luck if a few people need to change their names.

How has Bioware's view of how SWTOR changed since it released, from a development standpoint? What sorts of things have changed that you did not forsee and what's gone the way you had hoped?

PvP should be (and used to be) about player skill. Not beating someone with your gear. It's as simple as that. Good and bad players will stick out, and will be invited or not invited to raids and such. A game like DAoC did it RIGHT. It's a damn shame that game was killed by Mythic.

I agree about removing the Expertise stat, but my theory goes in a slightly different path. * Remove Expertise from all gear. * Keep PvP gear rewards and make them nice still. On par with PvE gear, stat-wise. * Make all abilities scale differently when used in PvP than PvE. #2 allows both PvP'ers and PvE'ers to experience endgame, whichever path they decide to go. #3 let's Bioware tweak PvP for balance while leaving PvE alone (read: PvP nerfs no longer nerfing PvE'ers).

Hey, Nostradamus, what's $12.99*500,000*12? Hint: It's $77,940,000. 77 million dollars a year even with 500,000 subs. Just because an MMO doesn't have WoW like sub numbers, doesn't even REMOTELY mean it's a failure. Hey, can I have tomorrow's lotto numbers, while you're predicting the future? PS: I say all this as a staunch critic of this game. I just love injecting some reality into the minds of the delusional

Don't you people ever get tired of this? When Rift came out it was ZOMG it's going to kill X Y and Z MMO. When TOR came out? ZOMG! Kill X Y and Z MMO! When GW2 comes out? ZOMG, going to kill TOR Rift and other MMOs! When the next big thing comes out? ZOMG!!! Going to kill GW2 and Tera! And so on and so on. Blah blah blah, same old crap over and over again. So sick of it...

The Off-Topic forum was closed a while before the game launched. Was a bit of a controversy; not so much that it was closed, but Bioware's typical stonewalling of the community that wanted to know why they had chosen to close it.

You have to defeat the other chessmen to make it through and stop Voldemort! Oh wait...

Sorry, but this is ridiculous. Where do you expect to get statistically representative data, exactly? Do you expect Bioware to come out and show us a bunch of bar graphs or some crap like that? No. Roll a character on a low pop server like the one suggested, or on mine, Kinrath Spider if you want to know what "Some servers with light populations" truly means. It's bad. Take our word for it or go see for yourself, I don't care which. Pull your head out of the sand with that "Some servers with light population" nonsense.

Come come now...

Make all gear and abilities have alternative stats/powers exclusive to PvP, when in PvP. Bam, no more need for Expertise stats OR class nerfs which screw over PvE. Simple solutions and whatnot.

1.3 will be out after the next PAX and 2nd Guild Summit

Buyer's remorse. Time to suck it up.
