1st of all I am on the bloodfin server and found it to be extremly populated, I see people running around playing the game everywhere I go,I am not sure about other servers,but Bloodfin seem to be doing real well to my surprise. The game still looks great even after 5 years. From what I can tell every aspect of the game is a 100 times better than what it was when the NGE first launched and I am actually enjoying myself after starting a new charactor from scratch. The NGE interface still sucks and is clunky and just plain aweful. I am with time starting to get used to it ,but still having fun playing the game. The community has been excellant so far and seem to be willing to help you if you need it. Thats all for now,I will post some more about the game as I play it further, But as a Pre-CU vet the game in its current state is not bad at all and its a welcome change to playing wow. If you have been thinking about trying the game out again now is a good time. I went into this game with a positive attitude and by doing so I have seen some good improvements to many things. I am currently playing SWG and EQ2 and I would like to make a seperate post about EQ2 at a later date,but from what I have seen so far of it I really wonder why EQ2 is not the WoW of mmos right now its absolutly Phenomenal right now. I think if SWG had the interface EQ2 has it would be alot better. Thats all for now:P

Ummm, funny, I found Bloodfin to be quite dead, not 100%, but at least 90%...  Most I saw online at one time was 75 or so people.

SWG is as bad as ever, nothing has really changed.

That would be a massive group of people. I never saw more than three people in any one place.

Veni Vidi Vici

Do you guys just wake up one morning and be like:

 

"Oh gee, how should I waste my life? Oh, I know, i'll go spam the SWG boards to make my e-peen look bigger."

 

Honestly, do you guys have anything better to do?

SWG PRE-CU FTW!

AMD 64 X2 5200 2.7Ghz
2GB RAM 533Mhz Duel Channel
256MB Nvidia 8600GT

I play on Eclipse. Yes its quiet. Yes it can be hard to find people if all you do is look. However I found if i start talking to people thats right talking I'll find out where the action is. I've also found quite alot of people on the server. Seems people ar emore scattered now.

Tbh I'm at that point now where I dont care too much about numbers aslong as I'm having fun. I played on one of EU's biggest WoW servers. Hundreds of people running about...did I speak to all of them? Nope. Did they effect my gameplay apart from their player model rendering on my screen...nope.

When I look back,  Pre-CU was busier. But I only really hung out with a handful of people.

Quality over Quantity.

I'd rather play with 20 cool people and do things then be surrounded by hundreds who I have no reason to speak to.

Be sure to make use of the new search tool, I've been finding it rather useful for organizing group activites during my NZ prime time when most of my server is sleeping :)
 

If you're not aware of it, open up the Community window and go to the Search tool.  Expand the categories on the left side of the window and tick the interests that that are appealing to you.  After you've done that, click the Search button towards the top on the right side of the window.  It'll give you a list of people that aren't /anon and match the interests you searched for :)

He was posting his own opinion about what he saw.  Just like the OP did.  You are reading too much into it, it looks like.  Or are opinions you find favorably the only ones that count?

I suppose they are blind or something Obraik because I saw tons of people playing the game. I started a brand new toon early in the morning and I saw people in the tutorial,on the planet doing the quests,all over ther star ports in multiple cities. They were pvping,Roleplaying,Hanging out in some of the Cantina's etc. The game is not dead and it does not matter to me what people think about SWG now its not a
