I just walked through Mos Eisley on the Intrepid server and found 7 toons. This is sad.

Back in pre-CU days you would easily find 100+ here on the weekend.

They all must be doing the instances, even the level 5-74 toons.

Yeah I'm an old Intrepid player, it's been like that for a long time now. Intrepid is one of the many official ghost servers.

I'm on SWG right now actually, Bria server and it is very busy though like the old days most of them are AFK bots while the rest of the people are out doing their own thing. The problem with SWG is theres tooo many servers and not enough players, they need to ditch atleast 10 servers.

Though SWG has suffered from this problem even in the Pre CU days.

Intrepid players represent! Intrepid was never a huge server in terms of population but it had the best community of any game I've ever played. I lived in two different cities...Serenity Valley on Tattoine and Veteran's Retreat on Lok.

Last time I was on Veteran's Retreat was still there but SV was long gone...along with everybody I knew. Restuss was the only place I could find players and they all seemed to be ten year olds with adhd. It was a truly depressing experience.

Mos Eisley..... You will never find a more empty hive of scum and villainy.

The game is nothing more than a painful reminder of what once was. What started out as a game that would change the face of MMOs ended up a bad clone of every other cookie cutter game out there.

I can honestly say that SWG in the few months after release, before Doc buffs and Jedi ruined the game, was the most fun I have ever had in an MMO and I have played nearly all of them. Never has a game since then offered as much variety or as many options to its players.

I used to play on Intrepid too.  Chances are if you had a jedi, I (as either Ginaz or Jinzan) got you at least once.  It was always pretty busy, with the usual spots like Theed and the Mining Outpost on Dant having lots of people there at all times of the day.  Its kind of sad that its dwindled to what it is.  I still know a few people that play.  Intrepid had an awesome community with lots of player run events like Groovefest to keep epople busy.

They are just there to give away their stuff before moving on to EVE or WAR.

JK
Played Beta and Retail classic SWG.
So sad what they did to this game to try and compete.

Bria is packed in Mos Eisley there must be over 50 people just here and going to places all over the planets I see alot of people too. Not as packed as it was in 2003 but seems more busy than its been in years.

They have about 3-5 servers that have decent populations these days from what I hear.  Bria is apparently the most populated server so its not surprising that you'll see a lot of people out and about.

No offense but its pretty sad that 50 people is considered to be 'packing' ME.

It's my original server. It's been dead for quite some time.

Really?  Did I ever kill your Jedi?

I was on Bria before I left.  The only reason Bria has population is the servers transfers.  Just about the same with the other few servers with any population.

 Oh well , as most knows , my home server was once Kauri and as we all  know , its the least populated server.  It's not ever worth playing during  free trails  unless there is going to be a Tumbleweed targeting bonus.

 SOE says that they are working on it but if their solution is like the NGE maybe they should just quit now.

You foubf 7 toons in ME?!? You saw 6 more than I did last time I walked through there just a little while back, but to be honest, it may have been during the late morning on a weekday which is still pathetic.

Intrepid was my original server and it died a lo-o-o-o-o-ng time ago. What the NGE didn't finish, the CU6CD and subsequeuent group intensive content did very well. I also did a visit to the bazaar and the economy is just as dead. It was painful to see what a once active and vibrant community had transformed into - a empty ghost town with just a mere hidden few hanging on, hoping for better days that will never come.

Since I had refused to pony up the ransom fee (transfer fee) on priniciple, I rerolled on Bloodfin and quickly found where many of the ghost server toons had fled to (outside of hitting the cancel button). I can only imagine what will happen if transfers become free and/or transferring resources and crates become available. $OE is letting the players do the job of emptying the servers while making a little pocket change - all that will be left to do is turn off the lights on once fine servers such as Intrepid.

Lies, lies, and more lies.  What you are seeing is everyone rolling toons on Brai because all of the other servers are dead.

50 people in Mos Eisley is tiny compared to Pre-CU.  There used to be 50 people at the bazaar on Coronet at a time in Pre-CU.

Nice try though.  Bria would be lucky to have 100 people logged on at one time at any given moment, and it is the busiest SWG server.  That's just how pathetic this game is now.

But go on, keep paying to play a beta.

Pre-CU never had the population problems that we see now (I'm a 4.5 year vet).

In pre-CU days you could easily find 50 people just in the cantina in Mos Eisley (during daytime hours).
