"We''re not making a game for Trekkies" Daron Stinnett, Perpetual Entertainment

Yesterday, I reinstalled the game.  Last night, at 9:30 EST, I logged in to Corbantis.  I found myself on Tatooine and I spent the next 3 hours going from starter town to starter town and even hit up some of my old favorite PvP spots.  I hit up every watering hole I could think of.  Subtracting the entertainers doing their thing, I managed to see a whole 5 blue dots than myself.

Obraik, I ask you what server you are on and what time you notice this huge population that has returned?  Corbantis is officially dead.

17/20 servers are pretty much dead, I hope you took the freebie vet trial or

 

Congratulations you have mastered...

Can't counter an argument with a valid discussion point? Fishermage(aka Fisherprice) recommends you cut and paste: ad hominem

The Greatest Story Ever Told Yours.

The 3 busy Servers in the US are Starsider, Bloodfin, and Bria lots of people on these servers.

You can transfer or create a new toon I created anew toons on all 3 of these, I like Starsider the best good people less lag.

I won't argue the "good people" part but I played Starsider the day it was born up until this last "free trial".

I will not be able to agree that its "populated".

Altho it could be more populated than the other US servers (besides the two you mention).

I can sell stuff easily if I put it up for sale... but it makes me feel like I am going to be violently ill every time I log into the game.

Mostly due to all the places that are empty...  half of a dead city here.. half there.. because large parts got missed in the pack-up somehow.  Its like the end of that Hoosiers movie...

You see this big empty gym... no one on the court.. dust bunnies in the air.. but you can hear the voices of those who were there.

makes me sad. 

 

"We already have two operating MMOs. We launched a game called Ultima Online in 1997. It's still got hundreds of thousands of subscribers. Then there's Dark Age of Camelot, we also have a situation where we have well over 100,000 subscribers."

-Frank Gibeau of Electronic Arts.

Does it seem odd that UO has more subscribers than the best RvR game on the market?

Your wrong logon again Mos Eisley during prime time has +100 coming and leaving for buffs for about 3 hours straight I play every day there so I think I know what I'm talking about.

StarSider has grown to the point its starting to get chat lag just like Bira and Bloodfin.

The game is growing on the populated servers while the others servers are drying up.

I'm sorry your sad but A lot of us are having fun.

So stop posting false information please!

  Basic logic suggests that the "populated" servers are not growing per se....but that the dead servers are transferring to them.  Just as many others have done. 

  You could very well be having fun, and I applaud the fact you are.  But, factually, the game is a sinking ship where everyone is rushing to the last floating piece of wreckage still adrift.  I hope, for your sake, that those three pieces are enough to warrant keeping the game running.  I can't say I've seen any other p2p model that could run on three servers though.  Perhaps the Station Pass will keep it kicking.  Who knows?

  I sure don't.  Don't particularly care either, though I'm sure you do.  You aught to push for in game advertising, it would help them cover costs and keep your three servers running longer.  I imagine that, left to the current devices they have, that it will inevitably implode all over itself.  I mean....chat lag?  For gods sake...just how trashy is the hardware they run with over there?  I see games with an easy 6-15K active players on a server that do not suffer chat lag like that.  If anything, SWG should have the least lag of any game currently running.

Not trying to agrue with anyone but I recently started the free trial and rolled on Bloodfin and it was llike a ghost town in the lowbie areas. This disapointed me becuase I actually enjoyed my time in the game. Not having played before the big fiasco i have no prejudices against the game and would gladly play if I thought grouping and pvp would even be viable.

p.s. Didnt mean to hit the quote button was just replying to the topic at hand.  doh!
