I'm not sure what you mean. The BW community has always been smaller than HB, but the forums here are more active and responsive now than they were a year ago. Per the game, the move to FTP has helped SWToR player numbers rise dramatically, and credit sales have been fairly steady over the past few months, so I don't foresee any issues there either.

I have been browsing all the profies exc and it seems not much content is comming out, when the bot came out I remmber more activity. But I was also thinking ingame, is SWTOR losing players and is it worth putting time in?

ATM, we have two functional combat routines which haven't required much updating, so I suppose there hasn't been a need for much activity in those threads. Per other content, I've actually been rather impressed with some of the recent community additions to help with dailies, new areas, etc. Kicks originally created the first questing profiles, but he stopped working with SWToR some time back, so others have been doing their best to both update profiles and create new ones since that time.

The game launched with much fanfare, as does every MMO, and then settled in with a respectable ~1 million players, then dipped from that number, and then surpassed it again after the move to FTP. It's all part and parcel of the modern MMO. The player base here was always going to be smaller than WoW; everything (PTP) is smaller than WoW, even as that behemoth slowly declines. There are definitely more than enough players to make the game worthwhile IMO. If you prefer to play on an especially crowded server, I would recommend The Harbinger.

theres about as many active people in the BW forums that contribute as my toes and fingers combined, possibly less.

Honestly if you feel this way there is no point in posting for the community to read it. If you feel no value here I am sorry and wish we could of made it easier but sadly enough not everything can always be how you wanted it. Swtor has always been a dying game between updates and maybe 2.4 will bring life back. This game has always been a failure. The cash shop just saved it
