3 months is too soon for the final end but it will be the time that SW TOR really dies - the game will still be around but very few people will be interested in it - if any. I'm sure EA will think of some other silly ways to keep it in a phase of "life support" until the end of 2012 but never the less 300 mil USD will go down the drain and what's more important and why people are moaning - another SW dream (long awaited mind You) will be forfeited...such a waste.
i was speaking of new Features, not new players.
back to Spike, the game will still be around. people will still enjoy it. thats almost needless to say, i dont think its Biowares bad decisions towards making a MMO that will kill it either. if anything i would say that its BEST decision was releaseing it when it did. on the horizon we have some MASSIVE titles, i dont think bioware thought that they would top these 2. im sure some were hopeful but needless to say GW2 has a Ron Paul like Following and TSW is gonna be a sleeper hit for the Challenge or Hardcore/Puzzle crowd.
im confident that SWTOR will stay, probubly until the 3 months probation passed GW2 and TSW ends. (so 6 months instead.)

I was not speaking new players... I am mostly speaking of 1st MMO WoW Veterans.
You are right in all those things (even if I'm exaggerating) - but do You really think that with all the mmo development from let's say even as late as 2003 SWG - 2011 RIFT this is even worth mentioning. This is not some small company developing a game in a garage... honestly most of the people were comparing SW TOR to WOW during beta - it's like comparing a 1990 car with a 2010 car? I love Star Wars but BW and EA care shit about us fans and only focus on earning money striping us from a decent game.
sorry to burst your bubble, but EA doesnt care about "stripping you of a decent game" EA's only concern is money. thus the developers that want to change things should see this as a golden opportunity, going to Blizzard and saying we have a great idea that will change all these things in the MMO genre will get you laughed out of the building. EA will say sure, so long as we get a profit we will pay you to make it. EA had 0 input in SWTOR, same as it has 0 input in TSW, same as it has had 0 input in any other game its producing. why because they know regardless they will make a profit. so why would they even care if the games successful or not. they are basically throwing a handful of stones and hopeing one hits the target.

The fact is....
"there is no game that will ever be like your fist game experiance"
That goes for any genre, but good luck trying to find it.
"The monster created isn't by the company that makes the game, it's by the fans that make it something it never was"
And that's why we are now all in this mmo shit hole friend! - well put.

Thank you.
and its only a shit hole if you look at he genre as a whole. i never have, if you wish to look at it as a whole you will see its pathway is the same as all the other genres. they got worse before they got better, but they ALLWAYS got better.
So i vote to stop getting angery at EA, they are doing the best thing for the genre right now. its like Medcine, Tastes aweful, but it works.

pick one of the "light" servers make a republic char and enjoy:)
I angered the clerk in a clothing shop today. She asked me what size I was and I said actual, because I am not to scale. I like vending machines 'cause snacks are better when they fall. If I buy a candy bar at a store, oftentimes, I will drop it... so that it achieves its maximum flavor potential. --Mitch Hedberg
Questing doesn't work. Everybody is just so bored they are willing to give a game a month or 2 in hopes it will be half decent... but from my experience.. all these quest to solo level games SUCK, thats fact not opinion.
Just checked the server status page - A grand total of 1 heavy server at 8 pm est. Yeah, this game is thriving.
Debatable, that becomes about how they approch it. the problem lays in when you decide to make the levels either too small or too big. i will use SWTOR as a example. Hoth and Nar Shadda, Hoth was huge, and they kept making quests on the opposate side of it. got really annoying and old. Nar Shadda felt like you were crammed into a tuna can completeing quests. Bioware didnt take either of these into account. also the quests didn't change, repeated Kill, Fetch, Boss structure. when making something in a set area you need the sizing to fit the quests and the quests must change.

Hmm sounds more like a crusade - individual goals are the ones most important. I think that after WAR, SWTOR is a major setback and by consuming more and more game studios EA simply force their dumb down version of meaningless but possibly financially worthy gaming experience. As gamers and societies we agree on that and that is our biggest failure - it's not that we only remember that the games and movies were better in the old days - they simply were better.
Sorry nope, if a company was gonna go out of buiness over a bad idea then they were gonna go out of buisness period. Once again EA isn't forcing anything 0 input into the games the publish. EA is a enabler, much like McDonalds. some people see eating at McDonalds every day as a bad idea, Others don't. Natural selection claims those that don't. Thus Some people See their new game design as a bad idea, others don't. EA doesnt care if the idea is bad or not, they will enable you to make it.

I shall play till my interest dies, which so far hasnt.
..Its how Im sure many have said before, if you no longer have fun, leave. Why the big deal of posting about it, not like it will fix what you feel is wrong with it to begin with. And sadly, the luck of the draw with what server you chose does seem to be the case, cause mine is always busy on fleets, both sides. *shrug*.
Hehe yeah I saw that as well.
Before this game was released, I predicted that it would have a lot of success in initial sales, but fail to maintain any sizable amount of players for a long period of time. I like to check back here every now and then to see if my prediction comes true or not.
So far, looks like we're on track

Are you team Azeroth, team Tyria, or team Jacob?
The hatemongering is strong in this thread.

Reps rerolling Empire has what to do with overall game population, exactly? Even saying that much means giving you the benefit of the doubt, as I have never wanted to roll Rep side, so I wouldn't know what a Rep population decline would even look like.Error: 37.

I'm not nessessarily hate mongering. i feel the game was bad (mainly cause im bitter about them removing everything i loved from the game before it was launched) but has some strong points that should be noted by other companies and encorperated into their respective games.

Not true. If Bioware read these posts (hopefuilly they do as these forums people can post on who do not have an active SWTOR account) to see why people are not playing, and are in a position to add/change/fix the problem then they will do.

Even the class selection sucks. I am so bored, I am trying to make another alt... but there all the same and there all boring.
you asked where is this declining population coming from. To see it for yourself just roll a republic char on pretty much any "light" server and you will see how empty this game can feel.. i'd like to see some official numbers but my guess this game is probably about 70% empire overall.
