I got this idea from another thread. It seems the fans of SWG NGE think the game is super populated now. Show us what you remember as super populated for your server back in the day.
These are from Bloodfin

That's not SWG! There arn't even any Jedi! *whine whine whine* And there are too many people and animals and big mechanical things on two legs and and and player interaction! Thats not the SWG we love today!
Pre CUNGE rocked
now $OE not geting my 15$ a month ROCKS
I'm up to 4 accounts in EVE
had 2 swg accounts 1 died just after the cunge
the last last year..
i did try to like it like a new game but something was missing..
my guild lol
It's amazing that the vets are able to produce screenshots from three years ago to show how populated the servers were then but not a single fanboi is able to provide a screenshot to show that the NGE is populated. Interesting...
Not hard, when you consider that our game had 300K subs at it's high point, and 250K at it's low point. The NGE peaked in subs on day 1 and has crashed over 90% since, and... MAYBE... Yeah right... Can claim 20K (too high), if they count all trials.
They have the same number of servers and a few more zones than we had with less than 1/10th the population to, well, populate it. So it's no wonder they can't produce screenies like we can.

When I last checked the profession poll they have sticked on the O boards there were approx. 760 votes. I believe by SOE's own statements in the past that 10% of the game population are on the forums...so do the math...it is not pretty. My old server Kauri is pretty much dead. Pretty much the people left intend to go down with the ship.

760 votes... How pathetic. Back during the CU testing meltdown they'd run a poll asking whether the CU was fun or not and you'd have 5,000 "not fun at all" votes within an hour.
Those polls got 760 votes within the first few minutes.
This is very illustrative of the difference between a game with 250K+ subscribers and one with maybe 10K active players (or less).
Yeah, that NGE plan is working out.
760 VOTES?! BWAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!!!!
*wipes tear off one eye*
If there is no other proof of the lack of players, this would be it. And thats across all servers? That's soooo sad.
