Xbox 720 GPU Benchmarks

noreply@blogger.com (Brian Inman) — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 04:05:00 +0000

Today there was quite a bit of talk on Google Plus about the new GPU for the next gen Xbox 360 after seeing the IGN report. They are praising that the performance will be six to eight times better than the current generation. Isn't that a bit unrealistic?

I decided to do a little homework, and check out some benchmarks. I am not so impressed. Here is an Aliens vs. Predator on max 1080p settings. The Xbox 720 GPU gets a poor 20 FPS in this benchmark. How is this better?

http://www.tomshardware.com/charts/2011-gaming-graphics-charts/Aliens-vs.-Predator-Enthusiast,2668.html

I tried to find it on Anandtech, and it probably performed so bad it isn't even listed in their benchmarks. You can look at some similar type GPU's, and see a 15-20 FPS.

Another interesting claim is it will be twice as powerful as the Wii:U. I couldn't do a full 1080p benchmark for it, but pretty close, and amazingly the Wii:U is actually three times as good as the Xbox 720 with a 60 FPS.

You can look at what the current Xbox 360 has right here.

Counterfeit Cove Final Thoughts

noreply@blogger.com (Brian Inman) — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 04:46:00 +0000

I completed the hidden object game Counterfeit Cove tonight. It went much faster than I thought it was going to. Do I think it was worth the twenty bucks? Not really. If you look at this screenshot I completed this game much faster than the top ten.

The game really lost its fun factor rather quickly. Every map had about eighty hidden items total, but you only had to usually find about ten each time. The problem is you eventually saw the same map over, and over throughout the game. It made it become very boring even though each time you were finding different items.

You also have multiple duplicate type hidden objects in the different maps so you started knowing what to look for. Also doing the same maps over, and over you eventually knew where most of the items were so the challenge was gone.

The clues from solving each mini puzzle had no meaning while progressing in the game. Once you complete everything you get the final puzzle to solve from all the clues you recovered. It was a huge disappointment to see the ending, and the whole game overall.

I don't recommend buying this game. There are much better hidden object games that have better stories, and puzzles.

The Curious Case Of Counterfeit Cove

noreply@blogger.com (Brian Inman) — Sat, 21 Jan 2012 07:59:00 +0000

My addiction to the hidden object gaming genre is still going strong. Today I took the leap, and spent twenty bucks on The Mysterious P.I.: The Curious Case of Counterfeit Cove, and a few hours later I found myself still playing, and forcing myself to take a break.

I really think this hidden object game is very well made. It takes a little more time to find the objects. The game has a ton of content. Initially I wasn't sure what to expect until I started playing the game. The timer shows approximately twenty hours to complete the game, and solve the case. It has over 100 levels, and I think I just finished level ten.

The game really lacks a storyline though compared to the Temple Of Life I completed the other day. I guess it is good to mix it up a little. I am currently into the game about three hours. It seems I was playing longer than that, but maybe it only tracks the time when actually solving puzzles.

The one downfall I have already noticed is eventually you go back to the same scenarios, but have to find different hidden objects. It is a little easier the second time around because you can remember from the previous time where some of the items are even though it wasn't on your list the first time.

I am really loving the games. They are so relaxing to play, and also fun. I see myself playing hidden object games for a while until I burn myself out on them. I probably need to slow down a little, but it is just so addicting to just solve one more puzzle. It could get a little expensive buying a new game every couple of days.

Temple Of Life: The Legend Of Four Elements

noreply@blogger.com (Brian Inman) — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 20:27:00 +0000

My new favorite gaming genre is hidden object games. I can't seem to get enough of it. I just love solving puzzles, and using my brain to figure them out. I rarely have to use the hints unless I am really stumped, and can't find it. My newest one I just completed was Temple of Life: The Legend of Four Elements which I found on Big Fish Games.

I love these games because it goes beyond just solving puzzles. It is almost like a single player RPG storyline that draws me in, and keeps me saying just one more puzzle, and I am logging off. Every solved puzzle leads me more into the story, and keeps me glued to my computer.

I thought the game was a really good value for three bucks. They normally run ten bucks, but if you join their game club you can get any game for seven bucks. I think after playing Temple of Life I will be buying some more hidden object games because they are well worth the money, and I am enjoying them a ton.

It took me about eight hours to complete Temple of Life. What else could I do these days for fifty cents an hour to entertain myself?

Hidden Object Games

noreply@blogger.com (Brian Inman) — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 00:26:00 +0000

Thanks to The Tiny Bang Story I have found a new genre of gaming I love. Last night I decided to Google it, and found that PopCap makes a ton of them. I tried out the free 60 minute trial, and enjoyed it a ton.

The games are simple. You look for objects hidden in pictures. PopCap adds their own little twist to them by not directly saying what the object is. They may say something like holds pants up instead of saying belt, and so on.

You also receive a score based on how fast you find the objects, and get penalized for randomly clicking. You can also get hints where it highlights the object, but you also receive a scoring penalty each time you do it. After completing each scenario you than get a mini-puzzle to solve.

I am really loving these games, but there is one huge drawback. I think the pricing is a bit steep. I find it a bit hard to pull the trigger on a short casual game that costs $20. I know the puzzles include many different scenarios, and over 2k hidden objects in each game.

I know many hours go into making these, but I feel a $5-$10 price is more appealing. I do plan on purchasing the Vacation Quest at the $20 price just to try it out, and see if it lives up to the price tag.

First Time Ever Achievement Unlocked

noreply@blogger.com (Brian Inman) — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 20:21:00 +0000

I finally unlocked an achievement for the first time today. I am not talking about killing ten wolves, or winning a battleground. This achievement is much bigger than that. What is it?

The achievement is quite an amazing accomplishment for me. It is the very first time I have successfully completed a game. Yes, I finally finished a game from start to finish. Luckily it wasn't a long game, and I unlocked it in a mere eight hours of play time.

Yes, I just purchased The Tiny Bang Story last night, and after eight hours of searching for hidden items, solving puzzles, playing mini-games I managed to complete it. I struggled in some areas of the game, but eventually I would figure it out.

It feels good to know that I solved all of the puzzles. The game was definitely worth the $2.50 I spent on it.

The Tiny Bang Story First Impressions

noreply@blogger.com (Brian Inman) — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 04:17:00 +0000

The Tiny Bang Story is a great Indie Adventure game. I just bought this off of Steam, and immediately played it for over 3 hours. It is a hidden object, and puzzle solving adventure game. If you enjoy challenging your brain than you will really love this game.

There seems to be a never ending amount of puzzles to solve. Every time you solve one puzzle it unlocks another puzzle you have to solve. It is pretty addicting as you collect hidden items, and solve puzzles. You keep just wanting to finish one more puzzle.

I did finally get to a point in the game that it is frustrating. I am at a mini puzzle part where I have to guide this ship through very tight waterways. I keep dying, and no matter how far you make it you start from the beginning. It isn't like I can't figure out how to solve a puzzle. I just can't manage to maneuver the ship through these obstacles.

I would highly recommend this game. The price makes it worth every penny as you will get many hours of enjoyment out of the game.

Tera Is Most Likely My Next Game

noreply@blogger.com (Brian Inman) — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 00:04:00 +0000

I saw Tera two years ago at PAX, and it caught my eye back than. Will it be my next game? I think after watching the most recent trailer it will be. I think graphically it reminds me of Aion, and Guild Wars 2. There is something about the game that just draws me in which most games lately haven't been able to accomplish.

I like the idea that combat will be more than 1,2,3,4 and 5. It sounds great that you will be able to dodge attacks, and you actually have to aim to hit someone with your weapon, or spell instead of it being pretty much automatic. I could learn to hate it too. I won't really know what I think of it for sure until I am able to have some hands on.

I signed up for the beta today, and can't wait for a chance to try some of the classes out. The Sorcerer of course will be my first class to try while an Archer, and Priest also sound pretty fun. It has been a while since I have really been into an MMORPG, but this seems right down my alley.

Hopefully it isn't a Korean grindfest, or it will fall off my to buy list really fast. I am so done with grinding my life away to get to parts of the game I enjoy which is mostly end game pvp. I know when I talked with a dev about it two years ago that they were going to make it different, and so I look forward to see how they ended up implementing it.

Wasting Money On F2P MMORPG's

noreply@blogger.com (Brian Inman) — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 17:28:00 +0000

Why does it always end up that I end up wasting money on F2P games? Once again I invested quite a bit of money into a MMO to instantly lose interest. Why is it that once I spend money I stop playing it?

I could understand if I did it once, but it is becoming a pattern. I did it in Archlord, Allods Online, and most recently Realms Online. I find myself enjoying the game, and feel I have enough time invested that spending some in the cash shop is a worthwhile investment.

I think I still have money on the books in all three games. It isn't like I can get a refund, but the money is just sitting there. I added over a hundred bucks to Realms Online after already spending a hundred bucks. I spent around $15 of it in the cash shop, and $85 is still sitting there. I have no desire to play the game again.

What made me play the game 24/7 for a month straight, and than suddenly lose all interest? Is it like using cheat codes in console games? I know when I would use cheat codes the game would become boring, and I would stop playing. Is it the same for F2P games?

I did a similar thing in Allods Online a few years ago. I decided I wanted some perfumes, and a bigger inventory bag. Two days later I stopped playing just out of the blue. Why am I buying stuff, and than I suddenly don't care about the game?

I think maybe subconsciously I am thinking about how the game is costing me more than a normal sub. My brain may be telling me to cut off the relationship now before it becomes a huge money pit.

I just need to now figure out the trigger, and stop that initial spending in a F2P game, and just quit before spending anything. I don't know maybe in the back of my mind I am not really enjoying the game, but I am trying to convince myself by buying stuff off the cash shop.

Nation Red First Impressions

noreply@blogger.com (Brian Inman) — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 07:48:00 +0000

Over the weekend Steam is offering a free play weekend for Nation Red. I was looking for a little diversion, and free is a very good price. The game is a single player, or co-op close combat zombie killing frenzy.

The problem is you can kill only so many zombies before you get bored to death. It is fun blowing zombies up, but Nation Red reminds me of a smartphone game where after playing a game for 10-15 minutes you are ready to play something else.

I think the game could be a little more exciting playing co-op with friends, and just having a blast killing zombies together while having fun. I don't see the game ever being played competitively among gamers.

Currently the game is dirt cheap on Steam. You can buy it for $2.50, or a 4 pack for $7.50. The price alone makes it worth buying when you just want to have some blood splattering zombie killing fun with friends.

Why Do Gamers Like Dungeon Defenders?

noreply@blogger.com (Brian Inman) — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 23:06:00 +0000

I was gifted Dungeon Defenders recently, and I finally decided to play it. I never bought it myself because it seems too cartoonish to me. I figured I would give it a chance since it is a tower defense type strategy game.

I should have went with my hunch. I couldn't even get into the tutorial. I am glad I didn't waste my own money on it. It is nothing compared to the fun I have playing Orcs Must Die. It seemed way too complicated than it needed to be. Orcs Must Die is very easy, and straightforward.

It is weird sometimes to see games that players seem to like. Do players really praise Dungeon Defenders because it is four player co-op? I know many players bad mouth Orcs Must Die because it is single player. I don't see why there is the hype so much for co-op in games. I would rather play Orcs Must Die alone for 100 hours than spend one hour playing a co-op with so called internet friends.

It could be that I just like playing games alone these days.

My First Loss In MLB2K11

noreply@blogger.com (Brian Inman) — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 18:33:00 +0000

Last night I suffered my first loss in my franchise season in MLB2K11. I am now 3-1 overall. All it took was one silly pitching mistake. My Phillies team seems to have a pretty strong pitching staff, and enough consistent batting to be pretty competitive.

I ventured to the store last night, and bought a Xbox 360 controller. What a huge difference in gameplay. Everything is so much simpler to do now instead of trying to do stuff on a keyboard, and mouse. You can definitely tell the game was made for use on the controller.

One frustrating thing about the game is the menu navigation is horrid along with basically a useless manual. I have had to figure out most controls on my own. I still haven't figured out how to pinch hit for my pitcher. I have looked at every button mapping setting, and see nothing. It seems the internet is lacking in any help figuring stuff out too.

I need to just focus on playing the game though. I suffered my first loss because my first three games I only used one pitcher the whole game. I felt with having a bullpen of middle relievers, and closers that I starting feeling guilty not using them. The one time I decide to bring in a closer to finish off the game he gets rocked, and I end up losing the game by one run. I am sure if I would have just stuck with my starting pitcher for a complete game I probably would be 4-0 right now.

I am really enjoying the game so far. I love the strategy involved. I am really digging the pinpoint accuracy for pitching. It makes it feel like you are really on the mound. It definitely beats the old days of pitching a fastball straight down the middle, or a curve ball.

Mixing It Up A Little

noreply@blogger.com (Brian Inman) — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 03:07:00 +0000

The last week, or two I have been eyeing a new game to buy. I decided to go back to my childhood days where I played only sports games with my brothers on Intellivision. The games have come a long way since those days, and the gameplay seems so realistic.

I had a hard time deciding on which game to buy. Was it going to be basketball, football, or baseball? I love watching basketball, and football on TV, but I seem to be pretty bad at playing those sports on video games. I decided on baseball which is odd because it is the only game I play where I hate actually watching the sport on TV.

I just understand baseball more than trying to figure out one hundred different plays which I still don't understand in the football, and basketball games. I purchased MLB2K11. The games have changed so much since the last time I played a baseball video game.

I was a little confused initially. I had a hard time trying to figure out the controls. Did I tell you how much console ported games drive me crazy? Eventually I figured out how to pitch, and bat. The first game I didn't even realize that I wasn't actually choosing, or controlling my pitches. It drove me crazy to see four, or five pitches with numbers next to them. Unfortunately in the PC version those numbers don't mean squat. The key mapping is just strange.

I have played two games into my franchise season now, and I am 2-0. The pitching on the Phillies is pretty strong. I have only allowed a few hits so far, but the control is so crazy with trying to aim the pitches with WASD. I am definitely going to buy an Xbox controller for my PC tonight.

I like the challenge of trying to throw a perfect game, no hitter, or just winning the game. I have always liked playing the season instead of just random one time games. It gives me something to work for by trying to have a great record, and making the playoffs.

MLB2K11 is a great game. I have already invested over five hours into the game today, and plan on trying to play at least two more games in my season tonight. The only thing I find annoying is all the announcer talk in the game. I have to play with my headphones laying on my desk otherwise I may want to punch Phillips, and Kruk in the mouth.

Social Media Burnout and New Years Resolution

noreply@blogger.com (Brian Inman) — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 08:11:00 +0000

The new year is upon us, and I figured I would address my social media disappearance. I left rather abruptly from Google +, and other social media. I confided in one person, and even with his convincing I decided it was best to leave for a while.

Social media was ruling my life. I was spending countless hours reading streams and timelines. I reflect back these last few weeks without social media, and it really made me think. Why was things making me so angry, and annoyed? Was I following people that normally I wouldn't talk to in real life? Were most of the people in my circles really my friends? How many haven't even noticed I left, and uncircled everyone?

After disappearing a few weeks ago I realized that I am not missing it at all. I am a happier person. I don't have to read all day of people praising games that are pure garbage. I can now focus again on my blog, and the original reason I created it a few years ago.

My main purpose of my blog is to talk about games, and stuff that I am playing. I was getting way to sidetracked with social media, and totally losing my focus. I spent so much time on social media it left me no time to even play games it seemed. I just want to have fun playing games, and write about it.

I can now write posts on my blog, and not worry about anything but myself. It feels good, and I wonder why I held on to social media for as long as I did. I don't see myself going back in 2012.

Another Phase Completed Of My New Minecraft House

noreply@blogger.com (Brian Inman) — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 06:04:00 +0000

I have been spending many hours removing blocks, leveling land, planting grass, and so much more in Minecraft. My new Minecraft House is progressing very nicely. It puts my old Minecraft house to shame.

I have basically completed the outer walls, built a watch tower, and another building inside the walls. I spent a huge amount of time removing blocks on the outside of the walls to give a cleaner, and more polished look to my Minecraft House.

I still am undecided on my tower. The look just isn't doing it for me. It just looks to plain, but adding windows on all of the tower wouldn't really make it a lookout tower. I may have to brainstorm a little bit, and think of a better design.

I still have two sides of landscaping to complete. It is really time consuming removing blocks to make it level. I tried using tnt, but it just doesn't give me the results I am looking for. It also gives me nightmares every time I set off some tnt that I am going to blow up all my hard work.

I recorded a really short video showing the transformation of my new Minecraft house.

Another Day Of Minecraft

noreply@blogger.com (Brian Inman) — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 06:02:00 +0000

Today I poured many hours into Minecraft again. I can now say I am finished with phase 1 of my Minecraft house. I have now completed the whole construction of the house, and built the outer wall around it.

My next little project is to build a guard tower near where I had my underground tunnel before. I still haven't decided if I am going to incorporate the tunnel or not. I think I just want to build a cool stone wall walkway to, and from the tower.

I played with the tnt tonight, and basically blew up my existing structure from my old house project. I still have many blocks I will have to remove block by block because it is to dangerous to use tnt on it because it is still pretty close to my new Minecraft house.

Here is some of the latest screenshots, and once I complete the guard tower, and walkway I will make another video to upload to Youtube.

Time Flies While Playing Minecraft

noreply@blogger.com (Brian Inman) — Thu, 29 Dec 2011 05:27:00 +0000

Today I ate breakfast right before logging into Minecraft. I started right away at adding more to my house. I started feeling really hungry. I kept telling myself that I just ate, and it didn't make sense why I was so hungry. I glanced up at the clock, and about fell out of my chair. Six hours had disappeared.

It doesn't stop there either. I took a short break to eat something, and went back to working on my house in Minecraft. Today so far I have managed to play about 10 hours so far. I just have a hard time logging out. I always tell myself just one more thing real quick, and the next thing you know I am still logged in hours later.

My house is looking pretty sharp. I just basically have the back to finish up, and than work on leveling the ground on the outside of the walls to make it more eye appealing overall. I need to finish the windows on the one side too.

I have decided to totally scrap everything about my original house. I plan on having a little fun with some tnt in the next few days. I just hope I don't get carried away, and blow up my whole map by accident. I think I would definitely ragequit if that happened.

Building My Minecraft House In Less Than 72 Hours

noreply@blogger.com (Brian Inman) — Mon, 26 Dec 2011 07:51:00 +0000

Amazingly I have finally reached a point to make a quick video of my Minecraft House. I worked a ton of time today on it, and just felt I needed to make a video to totally capture how amazing it is. I have been working on fixing my old house project now for less than three days of real time. I have near 25 hours invested into the project of actual time logged in building, and digging in these last few days.

My New Minecraft House

noreply@blogger.com (Brian Inman) — Sun, 25 Dec 2011 20:27:00 +0000

The past few days I have been doing nothing, but playing Minecraft. I think I have made great strides in improving my first house I built in Minecraft. The transformation so far is very satisfying, and rewarding.

I am still a long ways from finishing this huge project, but I wanted to show everyone my progress just these last few days. I will show you the before picture, and some of my work in progress screenshots all the way to where I am right now.

My First Night Back In Minecraft

noreply@blogger.com (Brian Inman) — Sat, 24 Dec 2011 07:35:00 +0000

I realized after logging back into Minecraft how huge of a project it is going to be to rebuild my house. I lost track of time. and I am going to be operating on about three-four hours sleep for work tomorrow. I kept telling myself I was going to log off right after I finish this part.

Unfortunately I must have said that about twenty times to myself. I made pretty good progress, but when you look at the whole picture it is only a small fraction of the work needed to rebuild this Minecraft project. As I worked tonight I started picturing in my head all the changes I am making to the house.

It is going to be a thousand times better than the original house. I can't wait to work on it some more tomorrow after work. Here is a sneak peak of my accomplishments tonight.

I Have My Minecraft Mojo Back

noreply@blogger.com (Brian Inman) — Sat, 24 Dec 2011 02:24:00 +0000

It has been over nine months since I have played Minecraft. My Minecraft videos are still the most popular videos of all my videos uploaded to Youtube. I love being able to be creative, and build amazing things, and Minecraft lets me do that. It feels good to be playing again.

I am tackling a huge project from day one. I am totally remodeling my house. This is going to take many, many hours even with using an inventory editor program. I don't even really know what I want to do exactly, but to make it more eye appealing.

My house was my very first build, and everything was done legit. It is now time to speed up the process with the editor, and make the house simply amazing. I will try to give many updated videos, and screenshots as I progress. You can see it transform right before your eyes.

Hopefully this will make all my Youtube subscribers, and commenters happy since they have been asking for almost a year now to finish it. I plan on devoting hundreds of hours to this project, and can't wait to have the most amazing house in Minecraft.

Tribal Trouble 2 First Impressions

noreply@blogger.com (Brian Inman) — Fri, 23 Dec 2011 09:03:00 +0000

Do you love real time strategy games? Tribal Trouble 2 is right down your alley most likely. It takes the fun part of an RTS, and adds 3D graphics game play. The graphics alone make the game so much more fun to play than other typical RTS game.

Tribal Trouble 2 is very easy to learn. The Boot Camp Tutorial made everything very easy to understand. I think I found my next time killer. The game is really that much fun. It is amazing that a game so simple can offer so much satisfaction.

If you are looking for a F2P RTS game than I highly suggest checking Tribal Trouble 2 out. I don't think you will be disappointed.

100 Bucks For A Max Level Character in Realms Online

noreply@blogger.com (Brian Inman) — Fri, 23 Dec 2011 07:54:00 +0000

I have been playing Realms Online for the last month or two, and the grind makes Aion's grind seem like cupcakes. It has been the most frustrating part of the game. I just want to enjoy the RvR three faction pvp, but I am stuck grinding my way to 60.

Realms Online is F2P, but so far I have sunk almost $200 into the game in just two months. I still have about $75 left to spend in the cash shop. It sucks because now that I am back to work I don't really have the time to grind out five million xp per level to reach level 60.

I can buy xp booster packs from 100% up to 500% which helps, but it still seems like forever. Today they just announced a level 60 scroll. It costs just a little over 100 bucks, but your character instantly gets level 60, and five million gold.

I figure since I have already put in over a hundred hours of grinding, and spent $200 that this 60 scroll is the best thing to happen to the game. There is one catch though. You have to grind out one character to 60 first, and than any alts can get instant 60 with the scroll.

I think it is a great idea. I have never liked the idea of grinding alts, and now Realms Online just made it easy. How many times have you grinded out max level, and realized your character sucks, and you end up rolling another character? At least now you don't have to waste half of your life away grinding.

I really hope some other MMO's take advantage of this in the future, but I doubt it. They are to worried you won't keep subbing every month if you aren't spending months grinding. I say the opposite happens too. How many people stop subbing because they hate their current character, but cannot stand to grind one more character to max level?

Giving Games A Second Chance

noreply@blogger.com (Brian Inman) — Fri, 23 Dec 2011 02:17:00 +0000

I think sometimes it may be a good idea to give games a second chance. Tonight I discovered a certain aspect of Warhammer 40k Space Marine that I loved. I know it is hard to believe, but yes I actually found something that seems pretty fun.

I can thank Steam for having holiday achievements right now, or I probably would have never logged into Warhammer 40k again. It was because of this achievement that I found a part of the game I never knew even existed. The campaign frustrated me months ago, and I just ragequit.

I am still learning how the Arena works, but it seems pretty simple. It is a four player co-op where the main objective seems to be killing Orcs left, and right along with capturing points. It reminds me of Orcs Must Die in a way, but no traps. There are twenty waves to complete.

It looks like it has the basic concept of fps games these days with xp, and levels. The more you progress the better weapons you unlock.

I could see this being really fun with four friends playing, and not just random people. I am definitely going to be playing this game for the next few days, and see if I can learn all the ins, and outs of the game.

SWTOR Deja Vu

noreply@blogger.com (Brian Inman) — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 17:14:00 +0000

I am not a fortune teller, but I can read the writing on the wall. I can see SWTOR following the same launch as WAR did. At least close enough that it reminds me of the nightmare launch a few years ago.

A few hours into the launch, and already over a hundred servers. Most of the servers are currently at a medium population. They are supposedly leaving room for all those who aren't playing early game access. Does this sound familiar? I can remember WAR saying the same thing.

Unfortunately WAR kept saying don't worry the populations will pick up as more, and more people pick up the game. It never happened. Most servers were ghost towns. The same thing can happen with SWTOR by spreading the servers too thin.

I know they are trying to keep from having queues for the servers, but it could really backfire. As a few days go by, and people leave for higher population servers it will leave some servers underpopulated. How long will it take SWTOR to take action? WAR waited forever, and by that time it was too late.

Feel free to comment, and join the interactive discussion on Google +.
