_Zhatan_ Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Is fun to read how most of the SWG guilds who run the fun for 8 years now are disbanded as people get bored. SWG was 20 times ubergame than SWTOR. My guild is now ... me, but that only will last 6 days more, because im out too. A SWG2 would done better tbh than this Kotor online.

Talarchy Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 (edited) Our guild was strong, we hit the cap very early and then cut out all the non-active members down to around 400. Out of those 400, half have not logged in in over 30 days, so that makes it about 200 active players, with about 150 playing every 24-48 hours. Getting 8-16 man groups was not an issue at all, multiple pre-mades happening, it was sort of what I hoped SWTOR could offer guilds. Then they missed the ranked WZ content, people left... then they nerfed a few profs, people left... ...then diablo 3 came out. From having usually 50-60 people on in the guild at all given times, we are lucky now if we have 10 members on. When guild wars 2 comes out, I fear I will be one of maye 5 people left in my guild out of an original 500? The Asia pacific servers have taken a beating over the past few weeks. The Rhakoul plague brought people back for a few weeks, but it wasnt enough. If they kept that going as a permanent thing maybe.. I would have enjoyed that, but sadly I'm getting pretty bored myself, and im a star wars fan boy at heart, THIS GAME DOES NOT ALLOW FOR A SOCIAL GUILD - ITS ALL ABOUT RAIDING / PVP GEAR - THATS ALL ANYONE WANTS THESE DAYS, A QUICK FIX TO BATTLE. GIVE ME STARWARS GALAXIES GUILD HOUSES / PLAYER HOUSES AND GUILDS ANY DAY OF THE WEEK. Edited May 23, 2012 by Talarchy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowAxx Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 I'm sorry, but I am just so disgusted with BioWare when I hear they have hired MAGID.com to do paid feedback meetings in NYC, when what's wrong is so clearly communicated by so many guild members in threads like these. If BioWare would only listen to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elkirin Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 My guild is just a set of sometimes checked alts nowadays, we all rerolled to access an active warzone queue. Not many login at all on the original server now. I think a good number joined guilds on other servers though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady_Alyria Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 How is your guild doing in the state that SWTOR is in at the moment? Subs were reported to be at 1.3 mil a couple of days ago, and who knows if they'll keep dropping. Because BioWare placed too many servers, I wouldn't expect most responses to be quite positive, but here you can state if your guild is either already dead, luckily flourishing, or dying—and probably doing something to prevent your guild's shutdown. Also, feel free to post what you think might be killing your guild, and what features are missing that are not helping guilds. We just had an influx of people yesterday or the day before, I'm guessing another guild died and we ate their people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wraithwarr Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 There are not many people I know still playing. I see the argument from some (whistling in the dark) saying "you shouldn't have burned through the content so fast!" , or "That's what you get for playing so much", but is this honestly a fair argument? The fact of the matter is for hardcore players the amount of content was just not there to satiate a competitive desire. The problem with the "screw the hardcore players, we dont need them" attitude is, hardcore players lead guilds, hardcore players lead raid teams, hardcore players lead pvp groups, and hardcore players drive the economy. These are also the players you can also count on to be on most of the time when you log in. Losing the hard core crowd means you can kiss all but the "I just log in to say hi to friends and run a flashpoint crowd goodbye". I would really love to see SW: TOR turn things around, but with all of the issues over ranked warzones, lack of incentives in world pvp, poor faction balance, and poor performance of the hero engine, it will be an uphill climb. Before 1.2 I was very optimistic, now I am playing Aion and awaiting the launch of Guild Wars 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindSpore Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 My original guild died with the server. What remained rerolled and joined up with another guild. The last time I logged in I was the only person online, nearly all of my guildies have unsubbed frustrated with the new servers drop in population, and old issues like killing rated warzones with no real indication of when they will be put in. To sum up my guild its dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raptoria Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Zen on Bao-Dur Around 6 to 10 people online during our peak hours. We have 60 people on the roster, most of them alts of active members but also a couple of inactive members, who will be removed after a set period of time. They're great folks who enjoy a laugh. Casual players, that enjoy a WZ or FP every once in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SethenHannar Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Very low. A lot of my friends quit or are only playing weekly instead of daily. I've been a part of failures such as The Matrix Online, Star Trek Online, and others. Like them, this game has amazing potential, but it may just die off. I played SWG for 7 years and I see a lot of the mistakes being repeated as far as mainting an open line of communication and information. They responses we get for direct questions are political ambiguity becuase they don't know the answers to some questons, but they can't let us know they don't even though we do. The "all is well" attitude remids me of John Smedley when the CU and NGE hit. I would give anything to be part of a game where the staff was honest with the populus and worked much more closely with us. I may be overreacting, but that's how I feel at the moment. I hope this game survives - I love playing it when it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before 1.2 I was very optimistic, now I am playing Aion and awaiting the launch of Guild Wars 2. Also the "I'm only signing in to run Ops until I get my gear then I'm gone" crowd is out. Some didn't even bother coming back for 1.2 either. As bad as it sounds, a small part of it may have been due to how much harder Lost Island & Explosive Conflict are compared to the other ops & hard modes. Then again, people did complain about how easy the other stuff was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slugamaniac Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Slugfest, member of Rebel, The Harbinger server. Guild is coming back to life after a recent drama fest surrounding an individual raider reached epic proportions. We have absorbed another guild into our ranks as of this week and we are seeing more people logging in. Once the dust settles we should have enough for 2-3 steady op groups to roll out every week. Looking foward to some more HM Denova attempts once everyone is acclimated and we have worked out new raid times and individual group compositions. The group finder will be great to help gear up alts and fresh recruits, really looking forward to that. Once server transfers go live I'm hoping for a fresh influx of 50's from other dead servers to help bolster the general population. People have invested too much into their characters to simply let this game fade away, myself including. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You notice BlueFromMoon's avatar join date is May 2012? Then I looked at the threads he's posted in the few weeks he's been with us. http://www.swtor.com/community/search.php?searchid=2287394 I think that nearly all of them talk up a different game and trash this one. It's like he paid money just to come here and talk about another game. I always thought the urban myth of people trolling another game's forum for pay were just urban myths...

Mixxathon Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Got 38 in the guild. Used to be 39, but one wanted to raid more than the rest of us so he left momentarily. As soon as we starts to do OP's, he will be back. We started out small and grew steadily. We have the exact same number today as we did pre-1.2 patch and are not recruiting as we like it small and manageable. How on earth do we keep the players, as thie is a DYING GAME?! Easy. We just do not listen to the trolls much, or the whiners, or the WoW-heads, or the 'Waiting for GW2', or the D3-players.... we just play the game and have fun. Of all of us, I have the task of actually visit this depressing forum to pick up anything interesting. Not that I usually find anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

illy Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 I have been the only one on vent for the past 3 weeks. There's only 5 people in chat, not chatting much, at peak hour. No lvl50 anymore. I just cancelled my sub. I will keep playing until it runs out on 7/18. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SawneyRath Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Started with 5, as of today, we're up to 110. About 30 active within the last 10 days. 50+ active within the last month. I boot people if they go inactive after 45 days so, we still have quite a bit of players. My Guild is an RPvP guild called Order of the Sith Lords on US Jung Ma server. Really, everyone complains about SWTOR going down a bad road, but my guild and I are still having fun. Lots of players, lots of events, its all great. Could be better, but I can't complain. We're certainly not dying that's for sure lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
