My buddy talked to his gm friend

It is not because those servers are underpopulated,people on those server already transfered to other servers and server capacity of bigger servers are upgraded 10X more power to handle more people than before. 

In short,

New SWG Servers handle  more than before means

They dont need 25 servers to handle 200k

they only need 10 servers to handle all accounts

 

 

 Less servers mean more active people,more events,more pvp=more fun=means better gameplay! It was not their plan to close those servers but the FCT was a big success so they made it .

of course.
 

that would explain why people have been constantly complaining about population issues on the official boards before the fcts was introduced.

thats why they desperately came up with a new search tool which did nothing to solve it.

thats why people are advertising their "to" servers all over the place in an effort to attract the fleeing accounts.

thats why people are complaining about lag on starsider (because of your 10x population upgrade support)

thats why some players went on to design fancy charts and start a 'community building' campaign across all 'from' servers.

1)If you think there are 200k ppl playing SWG you've had too much Smed flavored kool aid.

2)Although thier not to be trusted,they have said repetadly they WILL NOT upgrade the servers.No server had more hardware than another,they were the same 6 years ago and thier the same today.

I've always wondered what flavor that kool aid was haha! but yeah op the server closures couldn't possibly have anything to do with this game sucking I guessfar more logical to suggest they are actually spending money on a game that they are also removing staff for and for all of you who think this is just conjecture read carefully this source must be reputable as his buddy who has a friend who is a gm told him this.....
 

*lip smacking* "this kool aid really ain't all that bad."

The reason they only need one server to handle the population is because the population is so low for an MMO.  You can probably fit the whole population on a two year old PC.

No offense, but if you haven't hit 50 by now, you kinda are less of a player - Cthulhu23

The very idea that SV is in financial trouble is wrong. The numbers they release from time to time are just that, numbers. -Username509

 That is a bunch of BS. Im still playing and have been playing SWG since 2003. The servers can not handle the population it once could in pre-CU. You must not be a veteran. Today the most populated server is Starsider. One planet (not the server) can't handle 200 players without getting HUGE lag. Today SWG, it's only worth visiting 2 planets in the Galaxy so why talk about a server capacity? There reason there is so much lag is because they wrote new code over old code instead from starting from scratch.
