Jordgubben Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Every website out there that tracks the servers Status (Light, Standard, Heavy, Very Heavy Full) has the playerbase dropping. But hey, I'm sure if I close my eyes, plug my eyes and start singing "Pigs can fly" to myself, then eventually, pigs will fly. This website actually shows steady numbers for the last four weeks for Swtor overall. http://www.mmo-junkies.net/index.php?app=statistics&module=servers§ion=list&game=swtor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nippon Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Fleet used to only have about 50-60 republic players, but now during prime time has over 100! As BW releases more copies of the game, more players log in. Tis a good day. Edit: I added these screenshots from the thread: NA Server Status 9:48 EST: Population Thriving! That thread was created on February 18, 2012. http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/z392/Azzras/SWTOR4.png http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/z392/Azzras/SWTOR3.png http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/z392/Azzras/SWTOR2.png http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/z392/Azzras/SWTOR1.png Tbh i think you will find it's more likely player's are hitting level 50 and congregating on Fleet more as thats' pretty much where end game is aside from the few on Ilum PVPing.

bloomfireblade Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Guessing english isn't first language? Regardless, depending on what timezone you want try The Fatman, Dark Reaper, or any "very heavy" server. Even if they are outnumbered, the community is large enough that there will be plenty of republic. FYI I am from Florida and second thank you for the information if this server has not the requirement i look for i have new targets i am online 12hrs each day the problem mainly is and dont be offended yet to get a guild that can do raids i hope this server is diffrent i tried the european servers but since i dont speak rusian and only little italian its hard to find a good guild i do not say the guilds on the server i where where bad but not suited for endgame content I apologize in advance if my pov is offensive to some Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muzzle_flash Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 People really need to stop posting that server pop is growing, its just not in the interest of the long term health of the game to stick your head in the sand. No one is asking anyone to admit the game is a failure, or that its broken/dying or anything like that. People just want the community to come forward and say "The population on most servers is declining, this needs to be addressed." I know its never a good thing to admit that only a couple months after launch subs are dropping noticeably, or at least people logging in and playing, but you have to be realistic and deal with real problems, otherwise they become systemic.

Aepervius Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 (edited) Yep, all the familiar names that claimed to have unsubbed still posting haha. As long as your currently paid sub does not run out you can still post. ETA : I have unsubbed yesterday and can still psot, and will do so until 20th of march or something.

Jordgubben Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 subs are dropping noticeably, or at least people logging in and playing According to MMO Junkies pop actually has been quite steady the last 4 weeks. http://www.mmo-junkies.net/backend/applications_addon/other/statistics/graphs/swtor/monthly/overall-big.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO that does not mean the game is dying or a success or anything. This actually means nothing on such a short time span. Now let us talk back about that , say, in june, after 6 months. Personally i would not care less if the subs are dropping. What I *DO* care is what BW will do in the next month to ameliorate the part of the game which are in the way of my enjoyment : * auction house GUI * UI improvement * many more WZ I like the game, but not enough to further subs without such improvement. That talks of more or less subs or login ? Not really interesting compared to the development speed BW will take in the few months. And what will come in new.

Thanks for linking to a different graph and calling my definition "bizarre". If you look at the 4 week graph which I linked to in my post you see that the pop hovers around 400 for the last four weeks, maybe a small decline but well within the limits of "quite steady".

If you look at the 4 week graph which I linked to in my post you see that the pop hovers around 400 for the last four weeks, maybe a small decline but well within the limits of "quite steady". OK let me be more clear on my point. The variation from day to day, is greater than the actually variation long term. You cannot by "expanding" and looking at it show it is stable in population. You would need to take an averaged curve, and plot about longer. You would need to de-convolute the sinusoidal nature of the population variation over day or week, to extract the linear trend. Which is why I linked the other graph showing that the peaks are going down from week to week, as well as the bottoms. It is not stable it is going slightly down. The graph you showed , has too much noise and convoluted sinusoidal function to be able to clearly show anything. ETA: and this is also why I said look again in 6 months, are on such a short period of time it is difficult to make a trend out.

wilsonv Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I think you are slightly mistaken. More people are probably switching from Imp to pub. I'm actually seeing a drop on the IMP side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muzzle_flash Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 (edited) You think they have a million subs still? I would say yes, they should easily still have a million. Though this will be the billing cycle where a slight fall off turns into an outright plummet, unless drastic steps are taken.

That graph does not show holding steady but a slow decline. Yes, I also see the small decline the past 4 weeks. However, my point is that the posters in this thread who claims that the game is dying and that there is a mass exodus from the servers are wrong. If many people loving the game is spending all their time on the forums i dont know but by browsing the forums its clear that there are a lot of people here that wishes for the game to fail, why that is eludes my mind.

zrinking Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Last night at 1 in the morning on a Wednesday night there was 148 people in the imperial fleet on the Mask of Nihilus server. This game is getting bigger and bigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellapain Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I'm not going to say this is a trend but last night...a Wednesday night no less...I saw more people on the fleet than ever before at 182. WZs were popping rapidly and there were more of them against the opposing faction as well. So my server seems to be thriving. Feel bad for those that are not though.
