Was last night the busiest night on your server?

Over the weekend, I was monitoring server status and during the evening on Monday (GMT 6pm onwards) 7 servers had HEAVY, 10 had Medium and the rest were light with one very light.



Has Chapter 6 brought the crowds flocking back? Will the house purge increase numbers even more?



It's great to see alot of old faces back and new players starting in Mos Eisley and joining in the celebrations. It must be odd for them to log in and see scores of toons erm, dancing!

    I'm using the 14 day trial vet players have, and I think that Chimaera is very well populated.

    By reading some messages here before going to play I was thinking that the server would be a ghost town, but I was wrong.

    Not the numbers I've seen when I started playing in 2003 but this MMORPG has 4 years and that would be impossible even without all the crap SOE has done in the past.

    Currently I'm having FUN in the game, the Legacy quests are cool and I even grouped with 3 guys while doing some of them in Tatooine.

     It reminded me of the old days, groups for hunting squills in Tat or Sharnaffs in Corelia and If thinks keep on going this way I will subscribe the game again.

    My onlt fear is that alot of this is the 14 day vet trial and after they are all done with it the servers will become light again hopfully players join back up and the game will have  healthy servers again

    Everyone keeps talking about this 14 day vet trial, how did you get that? Did you just get an email saying "come log in?"

    Yeah definitely alot busier this weekend. I gained 5 new members to the guild and folks seemed to be going pet crazy. BM supplies are in limited supply and prices are outrageous if you find them. Everyone seems to want one, heh. Sunday we set up a guild hunt and went out, hunted Krayts and had a blast.

    only time will tell, tho i do think the CH revamp (i wont call CH BM,  this isnt WOW) but 20+ hour cool down times between experimentation is real LAME!.  Talk about a long time sink.   It can take you a week to fully get 1 pet up and working, and your limited to 1 incubator per person.  I lost a vary good dna Sample from a pre cu pet because i wanted to run 2 incubators side by side.  I'm not to thrilled ont he time sink to get a pet made.  And if you dont like the pet it takes a week to make another.  This isn't fun!

    I think this post was pure sarcasm - hah!

    Creature Handler is not back.  There's a new sub class called "BeastMaster" which allows you to create a "pet".  This pet is for show, not combat. 

    Creature Handlers were able to possess a LOT of creatures.  Please correct me, but I've heard you can have a maximum of 3 pets?

     

     

  • iwiehavoiwiehavo Member Posts: 5

    Actually you can have more than 3 pets in the datapad, and pets can be made for

    combat or just to ride around on.(oh i know that you can have more than 3 pets in

    the datapad but i dont know the exact number more)

  • SepulcherSepulcher Member Posts: 216
    Odds are the reason why the servers were populated has more to do with the fact that it was the 30th aniversary of the Star Wars Universe.  People who dont log on much were just filled with hype from the past week's specials on TV and wanted to get into the game and see what was up.  Im sure there were alot of trial accounts online and maybe a few people who resubscribed.  Expect it to die down again within the month after the excitement has faded.

    This is why you really need to research before you post ;)

    Pets you make through the Beast Master system certainly aren't just for show.  They can be pretty damaging in combat, but it depends on how much detail you went into during the crafting/incubation process of the pet and what abilities you've taught the pet.

    You can have up to 12 combat pets.  The 3 pets quote floating around comes from a Dev saying you'd probably only have a need to have 3 pets in your datapad.

    LMAO  well you have just discredited yourself to the point of pure trolling!   Have you actually taken the time to read anything I mean one little thing at all about Beast Master ? We know for sure that you have no clue as to what your talking about. Want to show us where you came up with that brilliant concept of pets only no combat? Do you have that in writing anywhere? Yea didn't think so.

    You can have up to 12 combat pets if you wanted. Basiclly you can have any combination of 12. So if you have an AT-RT and AV-21 in your datapad then you can have 10 more pets whether there combat beast or mounts. I guess all of the Beast Master expertise that pertain to combat abilities are there for show.

    As a matter fact you can learn specials that other similar creatures in game use on you and teach them to your pet as long as they are similar style creatures.

    Wargassm,

    It does take some time to experiment on your pet however 20+ hours is really high. My experimentation sessions run 14 hours. So I can basiclly make a pet every 2 days. If you spend the exp points in that skill tree it will dramaticlly cut down your experimentation times. Also the incubator it'self will help with that depending on the quality of the incubator.

    Then tell me how just last night I saw a guy with one of these "Show Pets" using it to mow down scores of mobs on Naboo? Next time you post make sure you pull your head out of your arse first please!

    if you are an old vet then just log in as normal and it starts the 14 day trial.sadly you cannot pay maintaince on your house and stop it from been marked abandoned(i paid 1 yr maintainace and it still got marked ).You need to resub for that or remove your house.
  • ObraikObraik Member, Newbie CommonPosts: 7,261
    Looks like they're adding the "Light, Medium, Heavy, etc" meter into the Network Status meter thing in game so you can see if the area you're in really is populated (and if the lag is server side or not).  http://forums.station.sony.com/swg/posts/preList.m?topic_id=345555&post_id=3862992#3862992

    I played at release but not too long.  Sence then I have played the 14 day and I loved it other then some glitches.  Never had the balls to resub though...  All that death and distruction talk really makes you not want to buy anything if its going to die.  I guess I shouldn't let other people do my judging for me.  Any server sugestions?  I'd be totaly starting over.
  • dirtyd77dirtyd77 Member UncommonPosts: 383

    Yes more people should realize that half of what a certain group says is complete rubbish and has no leg to stand on. Glad to see you realized that. This game is not going anywhere but up.

    Now for you server question. If you are in the US I would suggest the following...    Bloodfin, Bria, Ahazi

    If your in Europe Obriak might be able to answer that better as I'm not sure about the European servers.

  • BaronJuJuBaronJuJu Member UncommonPosts: 1,832

    I'm in Europe and I am on Bloodfin

    If you come back for the 14 days using your old account that doesn't have any expansions im assuming that you don't get to play them, right?

    Makes me feel good to see this old game doing so well again.

    Some folks still feel burned by SOE/LA and won't ever play it again. I can understand that (my own cousin is one of these).

    Me, I take a different view.

    I love MMO's and I love Star Wars.

    Now that the game is actually fun again, we can expect to see it continue to rise in population.
