What authority have we to decide whether our perception of the game is reality or not?

Before the CU/NGE there were 250,000 players. Now generous estimates put the population at around 10,000 players. What other proof do you need?

 

Just a side note but ifyou must use alts and start new accounts to keep posting the same thing over and over again you might want to make the account a few weeks before you actually use it and build up a postcount a bit to make what your doing somewhat less obvious :P

 

carry on.

see this is why i come to these boards to "people watch"

This is where you and I definately differ.  When I "people watch" it isn't for the chance to discuss a 5 year old MMO's merits.  It's for the BEEWWWWBEEEES!!!

Next time "people watch" in Las Vegas, you'll see what I mean.

The OP is merely recruiting to Bloodfin/pointing out that Bloodfin appears to be a good server to rally returning and trial players to.  There's no harm in this so let the OP be.  Besides other vets, comparing the present to the past has no meaning or relevance to people.

 

Are you the op's parent or guardian? Its clear what the message was and we understood it just fine. We bring reality into the fantasy that SWG is in anyway, shape or form a  fun, viable, stable and populated game.  There is great harm in trying to get people to waste their valuable time on this waste of hard-drive space. A Fanbois popualr comment "you can't compare past to present", I'm not comparing with the past, I'm telling you that presently the game is horrble and without question.....dead.

And yet those servers are still running and people clearly are playing it.  Maybe someone is looking for another single player star wars rpg after finishing both KotOR's, especially given how so many people just love to solo ( ' :  Or some people just want a pet rancor.  Or some want to see how bad this game possibly could be just because the vets attack it so rabidly.   The point is, people may have an interest in the game for numerous reasons.  Given they can snag a free trial, they can make up their minds if they want to download and try it out and from there if they like it.  The vets, like you, merely want to ram your opinion down everyone's throat rather than let people come to a conclusion. 

Furthermore, standing behind a veil of "it's great harm in trying to get people to waste their valuable time on this waste of hard-drive space" is an embarrassing stance considering everyone on these boards wastes their time here -- not to forget, hard drive space is easily recoverable at a few clicks.  The post was targeted at existing/returning/trial players so these were people looking to play the game already -- it's not like he's in the general forum or another game form announcing everyone should come check it out because it is awesome and compares better than some other game.
