Maybe the players can save them from merging servers while they're padding numbers.

Wait till the free week is over then you'll see its still empty. Lol it has not been packed for weeks.

I play on 3 servers ( EU and USA), and none of them has been empty since I started playing on them. Those are not servers like the Fatman , but just the average standard servers. Sure there are times they are more filled or less filled, but they all seem to have a healthy and steady population.

Even on standard servers numbers on some planets are some days over 100 people (mostly the lower level planets). Fleet population says nothing. You can see 40 people on the fleet and 100 in Dromund kaas or Coruscant within a 5 minute span. But I understand there are still people around that are anxious awaiting for the death of swtor.

144 in one zone a MMO does not make. Also, 500 in the fleet, never heard of those numbers and you will never see those numbers. MMOs are 100s to 1000s of people playing in a persistant world. I kee word here is persistant world everyone in the same zone.

SWTOR is a failure they don't have the numbers to make a profit and never will with their failed updates over and over.

Dunno your rig, but the resolution is terrible!

 SIgh. Where do I start?

1. They said they can have at least 500,000 to make a profit. They should at least have that, but we will not know until they release subscriber numbers on their next investor call.

2. They can not have a persistant world due to a little thing called planets.

Good luck with that one. Pretty sure you can expect the same vague response relating to paid sub numbers they have been giving out.

Not a failure but considering how I would imagine many were probably thinking this game should do overall not really a resounding success either.

lol its not i have more to prove it.

Watched two of my house mates playing yesterday. This isn't B.S. . . . . .  well not exactly B.S.

Ok, both friends do not meet the requirement for the free month that was just given away, yet were still able to play SWOTR. How? Apperently the free day Bioware gave everyone for the 1.2 patch meltdown was for EVERYONE, active accounts or no. So let's see how the population continues for the rest of the week. I'm betting not very good as neither friend saw anything that made them want to resubscribe. And so far none of the rest of our group that do get the free month are bothering to play as they are all in Aion, and getting ready to go to Tera.

Second most played subscription based MMO in North America.  What a failure.

As far as I know, that 144 in the corner is the instance number you are in, you are in the copy 144 of coruscant. When you see Fleet 500 that means you are in the copy number 500 of the fleet. I can be mistaken but if you think about it, it makes a lot of sense, with 500 players in the fleet you will be unable to even move. But I'm not sure of course.

You're wrong.

For those too put out from getting infected..they've had rakghoul virus vaccine at the medcenter droid vendors for quite a few days. I had been wondering...before the event...what they were for...now I know. Judging by the posts here...many will whine and complain about having to buy them @ 2000cr ea and scream BIOFAIL yet again. Anyway.. now you know how to get them without running dailys on tatooine if you weren't already aware.

Yeah it's packed. i'm on jedi covenant and we are full. took me 10 minutes to get on due to que. rumors this game is dead have been greatly exaggerated.

it's nothing but a tool the Wow GW2 trolls use to try and make look like it's dying.

 

The rakghoul plague event has been pretty fun.

I wouldn't say it's dying because I don't think it's going to end up dead, but it is absolutely fading and fading fast.  The only thing that's prevented it from slipping even faster is that there has been a gaming void since it was released.  There are many big titles on the horizon that will be releasing shortly, GW2 being just one among many.  When this year finally gets in gear, SWTOR is going to be sucking dust. 

However, it won't be dead.  300k - 400k active subscribers (my predicted plateau) is still pretty damned good and hardly a failure, but it won't be anything like the goliath it started as. The competition will play their role, but it will be its own core design philosophy that will ensure remains no more than a moderate success.  But fans are at no risk of seeing the game buried (in my opinion).

Its nice that the op, and other players play on a healthy servers, and im glad that bw put in some fun things for the gamers.

Though i dont like tor, but i still wish it all the best and remains profitable throughout. And hope that bw will keep implementing new things and improve the game.

So to players that enjoy it, good for you and dont be let down by most of the negative respond, its a game, most important is you enjoy it!

Have fun!

Free Week, its utterly meaningless.

Screenshot or it didn...oh...

I thought 300 is the max per zone? There were lots of people on the fleet because of the infection daily, tatooine is pretty packed right now too due to the world event.

I somewhat don't believe the OP, the 500 people on fleet...

275 players on Shard 2 Imp Fleet at 3:54 PM (Not even Prime time yet)

isnt there free time to cancelled accounts atm.

i'm pretty sure that has something to do with the numbers

1 shard 180  people on the Rep Fleet 4:01 PM (Not even Prime time)

Was that a world event? If so thats cool to see it bring many to come participate.

Or world boss. 

The Server is the Fatman US.

I will take another screen shot (PRIME TIME), game is FAR from dying, proof is in the pictures.
