Iam playing on a large server, actually it was one of them with the highest populaton at the beginning when it comes to server load. On prime time: 36 people on Tatooine and the whole republic faction is more or less empty....90% Huttenball.
Where are the 1.7 million players, where do they hide ? =) |

Let me know when you find them. They sure as hell aren't on my server. What is sad is my first thought when you said 36 on Tatooine was...wow, that many? 1. For god's sake mmo gamers, enough with the analogies. They're unnecessary and your comparisons are terrible, dissimilar, and illogical. 2. To posters feeling the need to state how f2p really isn't f2p: Players understand the concept. You aren't privy to some secret the rest are missing. You're embarrassing yourself. 3. Yes, Cpt. Obvious, we're not industry experts. Now run along and let the big people use the forums for their purpose. |

Not sure, but I saw similar things yesterday. Logged on around 6 PM PST time yesterday evening, on my west coast server, which was labled "heavy" for a while, and only saw 28 people on Tatooine. This is Empire side too.
I am not going to imply anything, I don't know how everything works, with instancing all that, but it does feel kind of empty sometimes. I don't know what's happening. All I know is that I personally was having a good time, up until about a week ago. Then all of a sudden, I just didn't feel like logging in anymore. Sub is still going obviously, but I lost my spark. Didn't even get to 50 yet, not sure if I even will at this point. Ahh well. |

The game has so many Instances that I'm sure 1.7million people could spread out over the 9000+ instances in the game world. But what you should be scared of is that if they really have 1.7million and the game feels this dead.... What will happen when they have not even half that number? 5 players per planet? (planet implies they are big... maybe more of a series of rock/metal caves. You know what i'm talking about.... every quest you do is in a god damn cave.) |

Originally posted by Worstluck Not trying to pour it on but if it goes anything like the two servers I have played on you guys are in a for a hoot when you get to the higher level planets. Gonna get a lot lighter pop wise the higher you get on the planets. Voss fluctuated between 6 to 12 people for me. Makes trying to group a real blast!

Originally posted by Clocksimus That's what really, really bugs me. Too many planet, just the right visuals and not enough ambient sound. A little condensing of the leveling planets, MUCH more ambient sound and things would be fine. Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them. |

3-4 people on Corellia, Rebublic side. Really quite sad. "You'll find a great many of the truths we cling to depend greatly upon our point of view." |

Originally posted by Wickedjelly On my server the starter planets have maybe 5 to 20 people on it at any give time, the mid planets perhas 30-60 but the higher ones often 100-150+. Right now things seem very quiet when leveling but in 2 or 3 months it'll end up with desert island syndrome. Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them. |

Dying game is dying. Can't wait for PlanetSide 2 or Guild Wars 2 to finish off this multi-million dollar turd.

Originally posted by Kabaal Maybe your server is older than the ones I'm on? No clue because it is the exact opposite for me. Well, they don't have those high of numbers but Dromund Kass and Coruscant respectively have been around 70 - 100 since I've been playing them. Even when I fly back there later on for class missions. Then the bottom seems to fall out from there onwards. The next planets aren't too bad but after that it gets almost comical how few there are. Granted I'm sure Ilum is the exception. Haven't been there yet so can't say. May depend on whether your server was one or close to one of the original ones or you unfortunately rolled on a newer server. 1.

Originally posted by Wickedjelly Could be, we've been playing on it since day one of early access. Either way it doesn't look good for the future as the servers are blatantly nowhere near their max capacity even at peak times. Server merges will indicate to communities like this that the game is a failure even if they do have crap loads of players but something will eventually have to be done as the emptiness is blatant. As i said in another thread, i'm in the game until the big march patch and the one after but if things don't improve i'll be back to playing no MMO status until it's time to try out something else new.

Originally posted by spizz they lowered the player cap on the 4th. on the 3rd the spread was 5% heavy server pop, on the 4th it was 35% heavy. surely, it might be explained by selling an extre 500k units or so that week, but they actually saw a bigger sales drop, down to 50K that week. in game it's still kind of empty on those servers, but of course the devout fans will say they are simply surrounded by hundreds of people.
the only explanation is that they lowered server caps in order for the server status to read standard to heavy, because most were low last week. |

I play on the shadowlands, last night huge Ilum PvP battle, did my weekly kill 150 imps in about an hour. Decided to make a smuggler as my wife loves her so much and starter plant had 70+ people on it. The pop on my server seems to be good still. |

Yeah, not seen much a change in numbers. Although I'm on a RP server, which there are less of. Hence most likely to be the least impacted by any change.
As for the later level planets, they tend to have less people on them, but always have. The game does suffer from an over population of quests (or XP given) to that of the number of levels. So there is alot of skipping content. Its hard to not be level 50 before the Corellia |

I wonder if the PvP versus PvE servers is the big difference? Because the PvP is so bad, people who joined PvP servers get to 50 and then quit. I am on a PvP server and the Republic has barely 40-70 people in Fleet at peak hours, and planets like Corellia/Voss/Belsavis have maybe 10 people max. Not too sure about the mid level planets, but on an alt Ord Mantell/Coruscant were both around 20-25. We can't even put together a full 16 person Op on Illum during peak hours, while the Empire has at least 40-50 people farming us - hence I don't do Illum. Or PvP, at all.
