"Hello! I'm looking for a group for Hammer Station. Come in."

::pensive static and crackling::

"Hello? Hel . . . damnit. Maybe if I put this tinfoil hat on, I'll be able to boost my signal. LFG for Flashpoint!!  DPS Jedi Panda, looking for Tank and heals, Hammer Station. Mom, QUIT LAUGHING AT ME BACK THERE!"

What is the point of your post?  If you do not like the game, move on or return to what ever entertains you. 

As much as I want to flame the O.P the pictures do not lie. What I would like to ask though is what server where you on? Not that it really matters but a few of them did turn into ghost towns a month after release. I do remember beeing the only toon in fleet once but that was one morning at 4am not at peak time like this.  Also, I am pretty sure I have seen one of these pictures before in the gallery a few months ago, it was on the front page for some time  It was one of these or somebody elses doing the same thing. It would have been cool if your player search was for the whole server rather than specific zones.

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.

I KNEW IT!!! Not only can Obama hide his birth certificate and make the media not care, but he is now reaching into gaming. This man MUST be stopped. 

/SARCASM OFF for those that can't tell sarcasm when they read it.

For those saying that I'm trolling: Would I have bothered subbing to this game if I didn't enjoy playing it? Would I have bothered getting a character to level 50? Would I have bothered making a Republic alt after getting a character to level 50?

Truth is, I enjoy the game. In fact, I'm still subbing and am very much looking forward to the 1.2 update. However, I can't (and neither can you) deny the fact that the population for this game is declining. I'm just sharing some of the pictures that I've taken throughout the course of my playthrough to showcase the fact that the population is in decline.

For those saying it's just a conspiracy theory: It's not a theory if it's true. The MMORPG.com staff has been deleting every single one of my pictures within minutes of them being uploaded. Not once, not twice, not three times, but on nearly twenty different occasions. They are very clearly trying to hide the fact that this game's population is degrading.

You are aware that MMORPG forums have rules on duplicate threads right? And that they do already have a main thread for XFire vs SWTOR. If you wish to discuss how you believe XFire is the voice of God himself when it comes to MMORPGs, then please, use the appropriate thread to do so in. Making multiple threads over and over and over and over and over again on the same topic which is already being discussed in another will only get your thread closed by the moderators here.

As for Xfire itself, I dont use it, nobody I know who plays online games uses it, and nobody they know uses it. There fore, XFire is only relivant to the people who use it. It means absolutely nothing.

Ok dont think its a conspiracy BUT

Damn that is a bloody low population!! To be fair though of all my frinds (including me sadly) who foolishly bought it only 1 is still playing >90% have quit. Though we are PvP focussed and well you know...this game lacks any real PvP. Our fault I suppose.

I would be worried if I was EA though

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.

First off lets see your map and show us which instance of the zone you are in. You could be in Ilum 3 which just started for all we know. Same with your imperial and rebel fleet pictures.

This shows nothing to me. I log in on primetime and see 100+ on imperial fleet. The ilum SS is worthless, since nobody goes to Ilum anylonger.

I only used Xfire to upload my pictures. Xfire has nothing to do with the discussion, so I don't know why you're bringing it up. Did you even look at my pictures?

I am sorry then!  Thank thee upstanding citizens for this information!  With out poeple like you, how would developers know if the population was dropping or not?  I know if I was a game developer I would give upstanding citizens as yourself a year free for such  information.

 I agree with you that there is a population issue, and I agree that MMORPG.com have shown considerable favourable biasedness toward swtor.

It's just hard to take any claims of a coverup seriously as let's be honest, a lot of people do it at the drop of a hat. I'm willing to bet if you had titled the thread "why are my posts being deleted?" you'd have got more of a discussion then this.

Will you please read and actually look at his post? He's not talking about Xfire at all. All he used Xfire for is to take the screenie. This is not a tread about Xfire at all.

Fanboys get so wroked up that they go blind to what actually is being said.

The thing is, yes some of the servers are low, but some are doing very well still. Sanctum of the Exalted, my server, seems very stable - at least on Empire side. Fleet is usually between 75-130 people, depending on the time. Lowest I think I saw was around 40, but that was at like 1 in the afternoon.

IMO, Bioware simply launched with waaay to many servers. They over estimated how many players they were going to get. They need to do a merge, but doing so would just cause more people to scream that the game is dying. Its a no win situation - no matter how they approach the issue of the low pop servers, they are going to get blasted by someone.

Well now the game can be played as it should have been developed. A single player RPG.
