All servers "very light"................

Seems some data that shows the server populations when you create a new character has been turned to 0, now everything is showing as "Very Light".
What a joke, can't let people know how many people are actually playing, so we will make it look even worse as a solution.

No doubt about that. I laughed when I saw those numbers. I logged on in the first time in 3 months to see it for myself. I'm from bria and it feels empty. Not sure how long they will keep SWG going.
So all servers appear as very light? Is that regardless of time of day? Can anyone else confirm this? I wonder if SOE changed the settings or if the servers really are just all very light... each is just as likely (this is the middle of the week after all....).
If SOE did change it this is probably their temporary solution untill they are able to figure out a long term fix to their server numbers 'availability'....
But this type of temporary fix puzzles me considering that everyone will see 'very light' across the board, regardless of the actual amount of players. You'd think this would be more harmful and hurt SOE worse then the alternative (and we all know what I'm reffering to).
Not everyone would see the server numbers, but everyone who logs on sees "very light". So, if SOE was going to lock the number or setting, they would have locked it at MEDIUM or HEAVY at least.
I don't know what to think about this... can anyone confirm?
Well good luck getting SOE to communicate about the topic. They are more tight lipped about this than the release of the NGE.
The one thing players want is frank, honest, open commuication, and SOE is still trying to sell the illusion with their current communication deal(IE TH posting on the forums 300 times a day, and maybe a post by an actual coder every now and again, which they should have been doing .... 2 years ago!)
You what I find funny about this whole thing....
SOE takes months and months just to even acknowledge a bug issue. Rarely is anything fixed within a month or two. Yet the minute someone figures out a way to show server numbers IMMEDIATE action is taken.
I could see SOE taking immediate action if someone's hack compromised the servers themselves. But to react like this to something so non-invasive and non-threatening ???
This is what SOE is spending your subscription money on. Not fixes or added content, nope theyre using dev time to make sure we all dont know how low the population is PFFTT
I can confirm that they all appear as Very Light during character creation. This was during 10am CET which is far from prime time. I'll try again later today if I get the time (going to be an extremely busy day).
I'm a big ol' fluffy carewolf. Be afraid. Be very afraid.
At 10PM CET all servers still list as Very Light. I seriously doubt things are -that- bad, so SOE must have done something in response to the population numbers posted on various forums (and deleted by mods here). By doing this, they're pretty much confirming that those numbers were indeed correct. Gratz SOE

At 5:00 PM ET there are more people still obsessing over the game, than playing.

Oh, cruel fate, to be thusly boned. Ask not for whom the bone bones. It bones for thee.
Hey.. there's still TONS of players. Metric tons. By weight.

Cool! Everyone has quit! All kidding aside, how lame. Lame lame lame.
SOE and LA failed and they just won't admit it.
That is stupid, they deleted the post here? Was any reason given?

After the CU most servers went to medium or light the game was allready hurting before the NGE. With the release of another downgrade to the game the servers being very light should be no surprise.
Didnt most of you vets notice somthing had changed when instead of 50 people raiding your town all the sudden it was only 5? And didnt you notice that there is now noone raiding your town because they took your War bases away?
What did people really expect they destroy the game and everyone stays? lol
Correction: Just prior to CU most servers were at medium or below
2 months after CU most servers were at Medium or above.
After NGE most servers were at very light.
Get your chronology right please
