Star Wars: The Old Republic is a powerful MMORPG, but research into its playerbase reveals that the servers are shrinking. Devs for the game say that it’s the result of people playing for shorter sessions, and not a drop in subscribers. Also, they claim this is the first time it’s ever happened. GameSpot has the story.
If players are spending less time in the game, that’s a good sign they’ve hit the endgame and aren’t finding anything new to take up their time. BioWare would do well to fix that with a quickness, or be dragged down into the same swamp as Warhammer Online.
