Even the most die hard fan boy has to admit SWTOR has fell flat on it's face, but if you are still living in denial then a simple look at the server population on the official site will back me up. Any mmo that sells 2 million copies at launch and then has empty servers 6 weeks later is an utter failure. Anyway am not here to point out the obvious, I am here to draw your attention to this http://www.swtor.com/awards it's a huge list of awards saying how amazing SWTOR is as an MMO. It just goes to show how many so called "Professional" gaming sites are utterly out of touch with gaming. Or maybe it shows how many are easily bought ;)

First off, the servers aren't empty. They are packed still.
Second, it didn't fall flat on it's face either. Shadow's Hand Guild The Secret World - Dragons Planetside 2 - Terran Republic Tera - Dragonfall Server |

Where did you go to see the servers are empty? Since as far as I can see that isn't true at all. |

Wait..
Ok? Sorry?
Wait now.. Troll posts trolly thing, fanboy responds in expected manner, troll...says ok and stops posting. can that happen? You know this is the internet, more importantly the MMORPG.COM forums, and that you're supposed to beligerantly and hard headedly reply to EVERYTHING that isn't in your realm of aggreable situations. This goes for trolls, haters, fanboys... everyone fights like a frothing maniac about the slightest of things for days on end on these forums and you...YOU sir, say OK? You Say..SORRY? HOW DARE YOU SIR, you get back here right now and make this worse! It was expected of you and how dare you let us down! |

No.. NONONO this isn't okay! Don't pretend it's okay, don't let him think this is okay! This is supposed to be a rabid, frothing, ridiculous conversation that brings out the oddest and wierdest of the wierd to violently quote random and possibly imaginary quotes and to spurt forth purely made up percentages and poll numbers! THIS CANNOT HAPPEN If we change the way things work...even once..it could show others that being human..being respectable and kind to one another is a great way to enjoy each others intelectual company and share ideas.
We cannot, CANNOT have that here. OP, come back..make things worse pls.
I'm afraid. |

Originally posted by Kenze Is it prime time for gaming? Here in the US on the east coast it is 6 AM on a weekday. Out west it is 3 AM on a weekday. Is this surprising? Check back on those during peak hours. |

You have to remember Gaming websites do not hire people that play MMOs exceppt in the most limited sense. Writers for this site and other major MMO sites simply do not play the games they write about longer than a couple of hours. All these companies care about is page hits which generally involves hyping up games. They repeat company talking points because thats easier and they generally have no idea what they are talking about. MMO websites like MMORPG.Com are responsible for many of the bad gameswe see and the decline of mmos in general. They simply give companies free reign to put out any bad game and never question it. They are not journalists rather theier interests are in line with hyping bad mmmos. That being said I don't think ToR is a bad game for what it is an ultra casual MMO that is not made for veteran MMO players. |

I think the baiting of fans of this game is becoming a new blood sport. I do not approve but rising to the thread bait won't help either by those who do. Let go of your hate, choose the light side of the Force. Or maybe hate can only destroy hate, er, yeah. But anyway rising to the bait will only make the baiters froth and gurgle in pleasure like when a fox is ripped to shreds by hounds in front of hunters on horses.  |

Your right that these gaming sites are out of touch. Its more about the individual behind the curtain of the site that is out of touch, like MikeB, in most cases, vs the Market. One who guages a mmorpg by his first experience being WoW, without any intellectual depth about where mmorpg's came from or what should be valued within the context of traditional Massively-Multiplayer, people get false information with a dumbified impression that a product is entertainment-worthy when it actually falls-short.
This site isn't alone in their mis-representation of products, but a clear example of their review impressions being on the losing-end of audience appeal who are interested in these types of products. One who can seriously infer that SW:TOR is innovative as a subscription-based mmorpg is soon recognized for what they are; ill-informed and lacking credibility. |

Originally posted by Kenze I get where you were coming from, but as a whole for the OP, would this be the best time to see server pops? That is what I don't get. If this were at 6 PM EST and it was all lights on the East Coast I would be concerned. |

Don't know what your talking about. This past weekend Republic Fleet had had the most players I have seen yet. |
