Ralkora Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Every server is light or standard in NA as I write this. In the world there are 5 "heavy servers." Edit: Make that 3 now. Its called patching. You leave work at 5. usually you are not even home by 6. Factor in dinner Factor in patch. qq more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobTheTeepo Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 http://www.swtor.com/server-status It's getting WAY better, and there will likely be far more people on in 2 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeacefulViolence Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 The server pops have increased, plus they are always lower during the week because of school and work, this thread needs to be deleted for hateful propaganda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimer_Lins Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Load is not an absolute number, it's measured vs the server cap. Since server caps have increased, load has decreased- even though most servers have more people on them from what I've seen. You want to have some fun? Go find a post where someone's complaining about too many people in an area ninja'ing spawns or chests, then check their post history and find out when the last time they posted in a "servers are ghost town" thread.

Edit: Make that 3 now. maybe you should play a game with heavy servers. look at the server status of existing games and choose the heaviest server... " heavy" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonlinar Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Because most Star Wars nerds are 30 and 40 year old dudes who have 9 to 5 jobs. I'm guessing that's the "average" SWTOR player as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurfer Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I hear about performance issues in Ilum... On my "heavy" server there are a total of 37 imp and about 4 republics... Needless to say the "ground breaking" pvp we hear about is us trying to grab ammo boxes for 3 hours against our own team. *********** epic!

SDCowboy Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 (edited) I haven't seen anything past standard in days. Even if the size has increased it's not a good sign for the game to have almost nothing high/full. Edited January 19, 2012 by SDCowboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurfer Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I haven't seen anything past standard in days. Not a good sign for the game. These dev's need to swallow their pride, accept their failures and start consolidating servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunnyboxx Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Its because PAYING customers had enough of bad customer support, bad fps issues, bad optimization.... oh and heres the clincher... EA. We all know what EA did to Warhammer now don't we. EA = Sony Online. I'll play this game again when it goes Free to lay in 6 to 8 months time beacuse of these issues.

TitanJJ Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 check customer service. there's a TON of us that can't patch the game because of supposed corrupted files. our clients are stuck in a repair loop cycle. LOTS of us. canceling sub until this is fixed. and i was a huge fanboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ansultares Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 (edited) These dev's need to swallow their pride, accept their failures and start consolidating servers.They won't do it when you're telling them they're accepting failure. Major MMO developers these days intentionally release with too many servers, to minimize issues such as server queues, etc. Having to merge later is a natural consequence of this, and even the rosiest sales forecasts don't predict 100% retention rates. So, just let them save face and say they intended to merge servers all along, don't harp on them for failing because they're merging. Harp on them for failing because they failed, like I do.

oseaswe Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 The new patch really screwed up my game. I never once had ability lag until I logged on today. Glad I canceled earlier this month. Game is definitely going downhill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djsmileey Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 It's really to bad most of you won't find out. It's ok you'll be back when you see SWTOR hit 70 million subscribers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squiek Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 (edited) You know people may not immediately run home and log in - there is a little thing called life. They do for WoW. Servers still exploding. But not in SWTOR.... And WoW servers are running with ~10k population per server. Use /who <planet> and check SWTOR numbers. There are not even 2k on empire+rep. I would say its the same issue we have: servers can't handle more with such a crappy engine. Also count the servers and compare to wow. 10 million vs 1 million players but same server numbers. That's why this game feels single player. There should be 5 times more players per server. I am really sad. I like the style of this game but all those technicals aspects are killing it If you just had bought a license for the unreal / crysis engine and put your time into content instead of fixing crappy engines for 5 years Edited January 19, 2012 by squiek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wutru Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I wouldn't mind a server merge. I rerolled on a new server because of queues. No big loss if i have to change my names on some characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: Make that 3 now. 9:05 PM EST and there's over a dozen heavy pop servers on the east coast. Only TWO of all the servers are light. Did you have some kind of point or was this a troll post?
