Cemellyn Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 When I first started the game a few weeks ago, I always had to queue to get into the server I play. Not only that several servers were always full. But now when I log into the game even at peak time, its guaranteed that I will always get in. Sometimes when questing in Nar Shadda or Alderaan, at most there are only 8 people in the zone. Much lesser than the crowd in Taris or Coruscant. Also getting a group for flash point seems to have gotten much harder than when a couple of weeks ago. So I'm just wondering where have all the people gone to and a couple of things came to my mind. 1. The players have moved on to another server that doesn't require them to queue up 2. BW has increased server capacity 3. The players have stopped playing for various reasons (Novelty worn off, gone back to WoW other MMO, upset with current crafting system etc) 4. All of the above What do you guys/girls think?
Frostvein Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 More people were playing more because they were on xmas break?
Gomla Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 Where has the crowd gone to? We are all in your cupboard ... watching you ... always watching. It's a bit of a tight squeeze though, would you mind buying a larger one?
siegedeluxe Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 Sick of bugs, glitches and horrendous performance (Mostly in PvP zones).
Crash-X Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 Yeah breaks and no doubt some people have left after the free month. That is inevitable. Also that some may have went to more populous servers now.
Kesella Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 2 and 3 mostly with a mix of the fact that the free month just ended for most.
Anya_Halberd Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 We are all in your cupboard ... watching you ... always watching. It's a bit of a tight squeeze though, would you mind buying a larger one? He must have the clown car of cupboards.

All of the above What do you guys/girls think? #3, that's all it is. TOR has shown people that it's just another MMO, nothing special, extremely linear, and the only potentially redeeming quality is voice overs, but they as well become aggravating the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc time you hear them in a instance as nothing changes and there is no way to just bypass them. Most of my friends who quit said they'd still play if they could turn the cutscenes off for instances, and I agree whole heartedly, it's annoying that you spend half the time in there talking, even mashing the space bar. That, and ability delay turned a lot of people off, and it's too late now, even if they fix it, the damage is done. OP, it's just typical. When a new MMO comes out and isn't up to snuff, people leave, and odds are, they won't come back, I know I won't unless there is a complete over haul.
Mezla Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 A game that works properly? Which one would that be? I don't believe there is one out there.
TalardKiph Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 More people were playing more because they were on xmas break? This is the main reason for me, between school and work I only get to play maybe 2-3 nights a week.
VorpalK Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 First, stop equating having to wait in line to play a game as a positive thing. Queues should always be TEMPORARY measures until server capacity can be increased. Otherwise something is VERY wrong with the management of the game. Second, the game launched during the holidays, there were more people on at all hours because of that. But definitely the first part is key. Don't think queues are acceptable. That will ruin things for everyone.
Crash-X Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 This is the main reason for me, between school and work I only get to play maybe 2-3 nights a week. Yeah. Also Servers were full because people had time to play hours on end. That's not the case, now people are getting into their more normal rotations... But I'm sure there will be more people coming in here to tell everyone how the game sucks and people are fleeing because of it....
justamemory Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 the kiddies are back to school the honeymoon is off TOR doesn't look sexy at 3am without makeup
iRoddy Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 Yeah. Also Servers were full because people had time to play hours on end.

But I'm sure there will be more people coming in here to tell everyone how the game sucks and people are fleeing because of it.... Can't handle the truth........
Crash-X Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 the kiddies are back to school the honeymoon is off TOR doesn't look sexy at 3am without makeup Go look at the server status screen.

Aurbere Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 I think the lack of q's for some people is contributed to the fact that Bioware(and EA, don't say EA isn't involved in this) increased the server pop cap. Although some people have left. Just because some people don't like certain aspects of the game doesn't mean the whole game is bad. And about crafting, I like it. I don't have to stand around crafting something, I can just send my companions that aren't with me out to get resources, but I can also collect resources while in the field.
Taurusaud Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 Which one would that be? I don't believe there is one out there. You've never played a game that works? I.. I'm so sorry...
Zaithen Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 Which one would that be? I don't believe there is one out there. Good point. Every mmo out there...every single one...is "broken" to somebody. That's the nature of the beast. Any company venturing into the mmo genre wades into a massive cess pool of a million expectations of what it "should be". Can't please 'em all and frankly any company that tries is just batpoop crazy. Oh the updates they will come, and will not cease until it's gone... and will not cease until it's gone...
justamemory Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 Go look at the server status screen. all I saw was a jawa lol'ing at the size of the servers.
Darkeus Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 People, you do realize that the holidays are over right?? Right?? People have lives, other than playing this game all of the time....
justamemory Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 (edited) people, you do realize that the holidays are over right?? Right?? People have lives, other than playing this game all of the time.... heretic! git em! Edited January 22, 2012 by justamemory
Crash-X Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 all I saw was a jawa lol'ing at the size of the servers. You have the size of the servers? Oh let me guess you did /who and now have all the information you need.
