Oh man I completely agree with you there, it is very frustrating.

I am also unable to log into West coast servers. This is very upsetting especially since I have time off for the holidays. Any update or a fix would be nice. Well cancel the last it seems to be fixed and server population is climbing.

Thank you for the post. Before I say anything else I would like to state the Fact that I have kept my subscription active since day 1. I do not believe population has declined due to a $15 monthly fee. It is my belief that the major problem this game faces is in it's restrictive zones. I have played many MMO's for years and was extremely upset about going to a planet and the actual "planet" was a maze of hall ways or very small (Nar Shadda, Quesh). Some zones are nice Tattoine, Hoth, Belsavis. I love the full dialog, space missions are a nice change, but where are the mini games (Pazak) there are full casinos that basically are a waste of space. After leveling 8 50's and doing endgame operations, the thought of leveling another character and repeating the same missions over and over gives me a headache. There needed to be other areas to level at 20,30, and 40 not just the same thing over and over. I love this game (other than the flaws I mentioned), I love Star Wars, and I still have hope that you can turn it around before it reaches it's demise.

Please consolidate servers, its not getting any better with an average of 60 people on the fleet and 10 people on any given planet down from 150 on fleet and 40 on planets. I really like this game, but its getting kinda lame with the low population.
