I've recently been posting some screenshots of TOR's population, only to have them be continually deleted by the MMORPG.com staff. They're trying to cover-up the fact that this game is dying, even when hard evidence is being provided, by deleting any screenshots that showcase this game's true population. These three screenshots were deleted within minutes of being posted to the gallery.

meh.

Xfire only tracks Xfire users.  In the entirety of my gaming career since 1995, I have never known an Xfire user.  I'm not sure who uses Xfire, but it's far from a number that creates a scientifically or statistically accurate profile of ANY game's population.

This doesn't mean SWTOR's population is healthy, it simply means that Xfire is not the way to analyze it.

Never a dull moment.Some of the conspiracy theorists here are more entertaining than 9/11 truthers.

I'm not tracking statistics through xfire. I used xfire to take pictures of my character in what are supposed to be highly populated areas during prime-time hours, only to end up being the only character in the zones at the time.

xfire has nothing to do with any of this other than the fact that that's where I hosted my pictures.

It's not a "conspiracy theory" if it's true.

Whenever I post photos like these in the MMORPG.com gallery, they are always deleted within minutes of being uploaded.

Wow! Only 1 other person in that zone during prime time? I knew things were grim in World of TORcraft . . . but not that grim.

Are the Jedi Pandas any fun to play?

Actually what X-Fire DOES show is the decrease thrend.  It IS a sample.  It shows a proportionate decrease or culmative frequency more or less I beleive is the term.

Regardless you might want to look at the pics before responding as it apears you didn't since as the pics are not graphs but in-game pics.  What I got out of it was that there was one or two people in a zone.  A republic fleet, Illium, and forget the third at what should be peak hours.  Midnight, 9 PMish and forget the third.  Granted the biggest fault is there is display of the server which not sure you could even display it in game.

So you make a thread on MMORPG.com about MMORPG.com deleting your stuff? We'll see how long this one makes it LOL.

Keep up the tenasity bro, maybe you'll find some outlet that will cover the story for you that doesn't get paid off by BioEA.

Yeah yeah tin foil hat but I like it.

Ahh, gotcha.  I don't always click on links that I'm unfamiliar with so....didn't quite get your point.  Thanks for clarifying.

cute how you're screaming at the top of the mountain declaring the death of TOR and you haven't disclosed your Time Zone and what server you are on. [mod edit]

cool,

DOOOOOMED

in one post

Tor is doing fine. Its a fun game. its still very young and that is no excuse for it, it is a fact. people will come and go but you can bet it will be doing just fine for years to come.

I see a lot of these types of posts and to be very honest it reminds me of small children hinting something to an adult to get their opinion because children have a hard time forming their own.

The fact is plenty of people are playing and really like the game. If you dont why would you waste time in your life to preach about it. This is what tells me you are looking for help in forming an opinion.

I have footage of Obama personally ordering the cover up of the SWTOR population figures. Meet me under the water tower at midnight and I'll tell you everything. Come alone, and make sure you're not followed.

While I usually avoid conspiracies - mmorpg.com has raved about ToR in recent months.  I can't remember how many times in articles about the game they have used the words "groundbreaking", " Innovative", "fun" and other hyperboles to describe the subpars mechanics or ToR.

Would it really surprise anyone that a gaming company paid a gaming website to give them some good press?  Is it that far fetched? 

I don't QUITE think this is what they had in mind when they came up with the Infinity Monkey Theorem...

Just1opinion this is your lucky day! Meet the OP, he's an Xfire user. 1st time for everything I guess huh? Also, like he said, he's not posting Xfire statistics so that debate does not count here.
