Now, I don't know how the server pops are in regards to how many are on a light, standard, heavy etc. However, in response to a poster saying about ghost towns...
I am on a light pop server, Veela and I just went on to see the pop on the fleet and even light there are 100 ppl on.

I don't wish to go into this too much, just that someone mentioned being on a standard server and said there were 30-40 ppl on fleet. I just posted these to show that 100 ppl CAN be on fleet on a light server.

"Andersen pointed to a variety of contributing factors for the cuts, noting that the massively multiplayer online role-playing game Star Wars: The Old Republic did not meet internal sales estimates and is facing declining subscription numbers."
Sigh. I am not sure if I should laugh or cry.
EA has been IMVPO the single greatest destroyer of game creativity, always putting profit and stocks interests over quality games and longevity. They are the bane of creative games with long value. Not for accident in Ultima VII/2 Serpent Isle the Three Banes of Chaos which destroy the continent are symbolized by a square, a triangle and a globe, the (former?) symbols of EA. They number of creative top studios they bought, robbed blind for quick bucks and then let fall into the abyss is long and painful. Westwood, Origin, Bullfrog, Mythic among others and now Bioware. They learned, alas, nothing.
Insofar, in EA finally will fall, it will be like the fall of Sovjet Communism. A great relief that a long nightmare finally ended. But EA is also one of the biggest investor, and if it falls, a lot of great game IP's fall with it into obscurity. And who then will invest into expensive Triple AAA titles anymore? It may quite likely create a long dark age of gaming, when for a long time no investor will dare to wage money in large and expensive games. Which may mean MORE mediocre, cheap games, and maybe some obscure indie games here and there left.
If the meteor crushes the dinosaur, the mice have to flee underground for a long time.
I really, really wished EA had learned and made something with the money, the creativity and the chances they had. Unfortunately, even tho SWTOR really isn't bad and has it's good and some great moments, overall it is so so SO mediocre altogether. Why this had to be so, why they just DID NOT LISTEN to ANY sound and well advise, it is something I will never understand. It's as if they WANTED to demise. But they HAD to drag down Star Wars of all IPs with them.

Not arguing your opinion, just making the bridge of reasoning for what the other poster said. Meaning your opinion of EA is clear and he won't see anything you say as being objective. Vice versa I'm sure.

I almost said I'm shocked they haven't thrown the customers a bone and had transfers and merged dead servers already. Then, I remembered in beta BW couldn't even give testers high levels to test the higher level content for more than a day. They tried it twice, broke servers, broke classes/quests, it was a mess. They couldn't figure out how to do it so end game was never heavily tested by general testers. Could be they still hadn't been able to figure it out yet since we couldn't copy to PTR. They really aren't prepared to be able to take on an mmo yet imo, and it shows.
Take alook at ToR status and one can quickly see that ToR's has many less players playing today than this time last wek. The hemoraging of subs has not stopped. What has happened has that all the players have been moving to 3 US servers as almost all other servers are dead. There are only 11 US servers and 2 Euro servers left with any substantial population.
1.2 has not stopped people leaving. Look at the bottom of ToR status it will show you the oveall drop each day and subs continue to drop each day. ALmost every server is a ghost town.
I am not saying the OP is intentinally lying but his post is nonsense and is backed up by nothing other than mere hope. The game is still continuing to die. Even with free playtime there are l,ess people playing everyday. Their only chance left is to merge servers or otherwise all servers but 4 or 5 will be dead.

I pretty sure any increase in server queues and population is because they're letting anyone log in and play who bought the game. You don't need a active account.

I know there are a lot of servers. But a lot of servers don't mean a lot of population. The fatman and another server are the only two with large populations on them, there are a couple others that also have a heavy population occasionally, but most are on standard. Which if bioware was smart, they would merge those servers, instead of sitting there acting like they have such high populations on each one. Or just trying to make themselves look better. I don't think they realised most games that open new servers on launch for the demand, have to merge them later, otherwise they have a giant amount of servers with absolutely no players on them.
The stop caring if everyone else is The game doesn't need large crowds to be enjoyed. Hell, i played during the launch month and i could count the times i grouped on one hand. Not because i didn't want to, but because the european servers were dead. It didn't stop me having fun (until i got bored of the standard MMO combat, but that's nothing more players could have fixed). This MMO is probably the friendliest MMO there is for lone players, which is why it 'tanking' or not shouldn't concern anyone enjoying it.
The game isn't the messiah, we knew that a while before release when beta's were around, but it's not the worst game in the world. It'll go F2P in about 6 months and it'll finally have the playerbase it deserves The game is good, but i don't think it's £10 a month good. Hence why i stopped playing. I'd definitely reconsider giving it another go for a bit if it went F2P.

It completely amazes me when people think servers with a population of 500 - 1200 players is a strong population. TOR has some of thes smallest populations on their servers when compared to other mainstream MMORPGs and they only have like 11 servers worldwide that are hitting those marks with like 2 - 4 with 1500+ people. Other games like EQ, WoW, EQ2, Aion, RIft had anywhere from 4000 - 10000 players on a server in their hayday.
