How long do you think it'll go down to 1 pve server 1 pvp server and 1 rp server for swtor?

    Assuming 5,000 connections per server* I don't think it will be all that soon.  Given a 4:1 oversell on connections, 15,000 connections would support 60,000 subscriptions.  I have no clues on current numbers, but that seems quite small.

     

    Given Free to Play coming, I don't expect server load to ever drop to that level.  Unless of course something gets botched up.

     

    * guesstimate, actual capacity might be much higher

    Doubt you'd ever see it go down to 1 of each server type, tbh. Especially with F2P coming.

    1 of each type per region more likely until the contract with lucas arts runs out.

    F2P is not the saviour of the game because it wont be free you have to pay to access content. With GW2 as b2p and MOP launching with wow still being the premium subscription game, plus rift's storm legion coming, + planetside 2, firefall and defiance.  SWTOR still languishing with questionable content now and on the horizon.  Throw in bad PR everywhere about swtor.

    All points to EA should not be in the mmorpg business.

    The number of F2P'ers that buy content is irrelevant. There'd just be too many people on 3 servers.

    There are other threads actually discussing the topic of the server status and the game. This is just a doom and gloom sort of thread that isn't offering something to discuss.
