is this game dead?

[Moaks]

are people quitting this game because of the new update?

Well I booted up my game today, saw that I could no longer toggle between light and dark alignment and that crew skills no longer gave bonuses towards either of those points, that their "choose your playstyle" is ABSOLUTE BS and not at all as advertised, leaving your old characters stuck exactly as is for non subs which I ****in hate shadow and assasin, I ****in hate how all NFUs but the gunslinger plays and thats only because its so close to lightning sorc rotation and abilities, I saw that they took away my ****in abilities and spread them out even further over the "new" 80 levels cap and I ain't gonna cough up more cash to get back the **** I already had and they took away from me. I hate the new UI, AND it hides my stats until I hit a button that reveals them in favor of displaying 3 numbers that mean nothing because they're relative to the scaling of the level of planet you're on...

People are saying the expansion is short I couldn't care less about the "story" your choices don't matter your alignment doesn't matter who you are and what you've done doesn't matter or factor in in the slighest its a generic path being stretched out for as long as they can.

I came back to game with 7.0 so I'm one of those who came back. There are people all over so I guess it's not dead :)

no

I like the new content, just wish some of the knights of the fallen empire and eternal throne glitches could be cleaned up. the audio skipping during fallen empire has been messing with my ocd. still love this game though, not planning on stopping anytime soon.

everyone went to Elden Ring. Top game being played right now per steam stats. Been top 5 consistently since launch.

I came back just to check out the 7.0 changes. Seems like the update broke quite a bit of things and definitely made some highly questionable UI choices. I won't be subbing.

By the numbers, SWTOR is getting its ass handed to it by Football Manager 2021. This ain't MMO numbers, we are venturing into single-player territory. So as an MMO, SWTOR is most definitely in hospice, just waiting for the sweet release of death.

Yes and No because it's the only Star Wars MMORPG. The New Update is Horrible and the Gameplay as Bad as always.

The game play is only " bad" to you because you're trying to play it on a controller.

i can be wrong but played it a while ago and saw things that were like better then now like the flashpoints were lvl based...now it makes you straight lvl 70 or something and the items you get are artifact so you like need to buy something to even make it possible to use them

Many years ago i saw how a NGE (new game enchantments) nearly kills a Star Wars MMO named "Star Wars Galaxies".
I also left. 6 Month later i came back and what happend ?
Most ppl returned because this game was unique. (And still is.)

So you hate the Update ? See you in 6 Month.

Need a alternative to SWTOR ? Check out Star Wars Galaxies LEGENDS.

SWG is no longer officially supported. I don't really care about private servers, especially one that's running the CU version which is the most criticized update for SWG.

SWG was a trash game made worse by NGE and CU. Even if SWTOR never happened that game was shutting down that year because it just had no one playing it anymore on top of their license with LucasArts ending.

"SWG was a trash game, but I don't want to recognize the fact that the various SWG emulators have a higher population than many currently live MMOs on the market today." I might have to give my first ever clown award to this dude lol.

Also, yes, SWG was losing subscribers but by the time of the shutdown, it was no different than the usual amount any MMO loses. The population by then (2011) had obviously stabilized after the fallout from the NGE (which was in 2005). SWG had more than enough of an active playerbase to justify staying online. Like I just said, there are a number of MMOs on the market today with fewer players than the SWG private servers, a "trash" game that people still apparently want to play in droves.

It's been stated in a number of interviews/articles with those in charge that LucasArts decided not to renew their contract with SOE, ending support for SWG, specifically in favor of SWTOR. They didn't want to split the playerbase between two online Star Wars games. There was no other reason... That's it. It had nothing to do with subscribers or population. Had that been the case, the plug would have been pulled in 2006 when the population was actually dwindling. So no, SWG wouldn't have been shut down that same year if there wasn't a SWTOR. SWTOR was the sole cause.

Guess what? The same thing is going to happen to SWTOR in favor of the new Ubisoft online Star Wars game (whatever kind of online game/MMO that may be) when it releases too, and it will be for the exact same reason - not splitting the playerbase between two online Star Wars games.
