LoL if the servers had been light you would have been saying "I told you so" because they arn't its Bioware are fiddling with the numbers . An example of how people shift the goal posts when faced with something happens they don't predict . All it really shows is you can't take being proven wrong .
I thought there would be a massive drop off . In fact I convinced we would see a huge drop off .
Unlike you I'm quite happy to admit I was wrong . Bioware have a success on thier hands and even though its not the game for me . I congratulate them .
You never see massive drop off in 2 month.
It starts 3-4 month
What a weird feeling. I'm seeing the same arguments used after RIFT's launch but now for TOR.
Page, after page, after page of SWOTR players begging to be transfered off their dead servers:

Yep, no mass exodus. Just a bunch of 'haters' making up lies...
Rift is on lifesupport as well though, which is a shame because they actually seemed to really put effort into it, and at least pretend to polish simple things like AA and texture resolution/LOD.
And while the last pages of that are a few whines about transferring off low pop servers, there is a big chunk that is just people wanting to move servers for other reasons, thread started during the beta phase when people wanted to move off high pop servers.
A lot of reasons for wanting to move off the servers, not just low pop, plenty just whinging about long PvP warzone queue times.
Last time I looked, the Patch 1.1 "/ragequit" thread in the SWTOR PVP forums had almost 3000 posts.
Perhaps that only represented 10% of the furious PVP'ers, so 30,000 of them actually unsubbed en-masse.
To them it certainly felt like a mass exodus, except the remaining 700,000 players didn't notice that they were gone ?
Bang! spot on dude. and use word hater determinate everything anyway, if you dont like somehing you dont need to hate it, you just simply dont like it. eeeeeeasy. ghost towns what i simply say aswell.
Just so you know, even WoW has dead servers.
Ahh, Reddit. My saviour.
Where would I be if not for thou while I wait in my queue for SWTOR.
Gdemami -
Informing people about your thoughts and impressions is not a review, it's a blog.
Well I guess the fact that some people can't even find the CANCEL button on account page (and BW are advising to cancel over the phone!!), and those that can are also still able to log in a play for free even without an active account.. This may have a little to do with it.

This is the most sensible post I've seen on this forum. The reality is the swtor servers are still stacked with players.
The questions are:
-Are the servers still packed just as they were at launch?
-Will the population number continue to decline?
Yes very personal....wth are you talking about?
Ohhh my bad....i was reading this "Mass exodus" link and got them confused

The 'hate' community is almost always wrong. Almost. Sometimes they're right. If I go outside every single day and scream about how the icy rain is going to make someone wreck their car, eventually I'll be right.
I'm not sure that the 'hate' community for SWToR is the same 'hate' community for WoW or Warhammer though. I'm sure there's some overlap, but they could each be distinct communities. It would require much more effort than I'm willing to put into it in order to test this theory though.
I can not remember winning or losing a single debate on the internet.
Lizardbones not much different between fanboys and haters in the end.
Haters:
1. Will take any bit of information and twist it to fit their point of view
2. Believed the hype of the game even after years of knowing every game that has come out fails to meet it and gets mad
3. Completely ignores anything good about the game
4. Believes their opinion of the game is correct and drops fanboy when anyone post something positive about the game
Fanyboys:
1. Will take any bit of information and twist it to fit their point of view
2. Still believes all the hype about the game and the hype that is not in the game even though it was advertised to be will be coming soon in a "patch"
3. Completely ignores the very obvious flaws in the game
4. Believes their opinion of the game is correct and drops hater anytime someone post something negative about the game
Trolls:
Will be both to get a response from people. Hmmm what did I just do....../doh
Haters use to be fanboys, and fanboys will become haters at some point. They are the same people, extremes of both sides who drowned out any other discussion that tries to occur.
I know. Because a majority of the anti-SWTOR brigade would be removed.
Pretty much....There was no mass exodus lol, like 95% of the playerbase stayed, people just like bitching. The servers are STILL growing in population, with the newest servers STILL going from standard to heavy, and a new very heavy server every weekend. Sooo rofl @ the trollololols
Where did you get 95% from? Oh nevermind we know.
You do realize the "server load status" means nothing about player population.
Explain why on the official SWTOR forums the "combine server threads" that get posted faster than the SWTOR forum mods can combine them or delete them.
Point is this game will see drops in playerbase like every MMO has and will.
Why the hate thread,baiting thread and why is it still up after 7 pages?I guess it shows the hypocritical moderation here.
This thread is not discussing a mmorpg it is merely pointing fingers at users.
I for one predicted 5 million users not becuase i care about numbers but someone asked for opinions ,so i joined the discussion.I also predicted it would drop to 2 then eventually 500k after one full year.
I did not make any predictions or opinions out of hate as the OP so nicely LABELLED users,i did it because our opinions were asked.I actually tried to like SWTOR i played 6 players at one time,more than probably MOST,hardly qualifies as a hater.
I saw a game that offered a short term fix to people looking for a game,but i did not see anything long term.
There might have been some people that gave an "OPINION" of mass exodus after the first month,but i doubt hey were claiming to know,it was merely an opinion.Example i thought Wow would never survive past the first year,becuase of lack of visual quality in a 3d VIDEO game world,but i was way off on my prediction.
Opinions btw cannot be WRONG,they are just opinions,so lose the HATE threrads geared towards hating on users that are only here to take part in gaming discussions.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
I will expect some drop if they can't fix their cs department, but there are so many here who have NEVER played a mmo and are loving the star wars feel.
Except with LotRO, Aion, WAR, AoC and so forth ... but yeah, almost always wrong except, you know, never.
And that's probably Bioware's target players. The ones that have never played an MMO before and just played SWTOR because of the IP.
Hence the lacking in everything to do with a proper MMO.
..Cake..
most of the so called "haters" of this game that don't just post troll posts like so many here make the points this guy makes in his video review http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WnPxP9Xsc94
I can see how people enjoy the game(since I'm playing obviously I find a mild enjoyment) but if you can't see why people think this game isn't going to last just watch the review video representation it makes the point WAY more clear than typing paragraphs of stuff.

Thats becase the haters will hate on every game, MMORPG is full of ex SWG players and sandbox fans and a lot of them will just post negatively about every non sandbox MMO
