Community Numbers?Follow

I am considering coming back to SWG, even though I know it is still broken. It is still my favourite game of all time! What are the numbers like now? Are there people still playing the game or is it dead in major cities? I am a team player and like playing in groups/guilds. What server is still full? Is Scylla full cuz that is where my character is? Is there a character server transfer? I sort of remember there being one but I can't remember.

Ok but what about when you log in? What do you see? Are there people around or are you the only one waling round planets?

Are you finding there are still things to do? Is it still fun or are you getting bored?

definitely there are servers that are empty, the most populated server is Bloodfin, but Bria and Ahazi and the Euro Chimaera server run close 2nd's etc. Personally, if i was starting a new char up i would play on either Bloodfin or Bria, whatever server you choose though, will probably have to accept the fact that grouping will not always be easy, and for some things near on impossible. Thats not to say that you can't have fun with the game still, the game is improving, in time its possible it may even become popular again.

There is a character transfer service, the official website has all the details, including what items are, or are not transferable.

They dropped the thresholds after the NGE to make it appear more busy that it was.

I dont beleive anyone can say there are plenty of people on any server, there may be enough to get by.

Some servers IE 1 or 2 are doing ok from server transfers from other smaller galaxies, but i think every server is hemoraging players faster than they are being replaced.

As for populations on a chapter day, these are missleading readings.

On a chapter day some people may resub to have a look around at the new content, people with station passes who now play EQ, VG or what ever else will log on to make sure they have their chapter rewards etc etc.

These numbers soon dissapear again after a few days as they go back to where ever it is they usually preffer to be.

And then of course you have the posters that play, the people that for the most part play very little of the game but the forums come chapter day they move inforce upon any new content to prove their l33t worthness and blitz any new content as fast as possible for not only backslapping and bragging rights but so they can get back to the safe grounds of the forums wher ethey can feel self important and all l33ty.
