So I only just recently heard about this game. I took a bit of a break from PC gaming, and when I came back I found that I could not stomach the old MMOs I used to play. I looked at a bunch of top MMO lists, and WS was top 5 on ever list. It was also the only MMO in the top 5 that I had not already played. So I buy the game blind, no real research or anything, and I give it a go. I insistently feel in love with the art style and tone of the game. I went on a lore binge and loved that as well. The mix of syfy and fantasy kind of reminded me of Star Wars. It has the charm of WoW and the pew pew of SWTOR. From what I have read about endgame I can see myself making SW my new go to MMO. But...
 
 
I would also read about how the game was losing subs at a crazy rate. Then when I started I only saw two servers. So it does have me a bit worried. From what I have heard the game takes some serious commitment at endgame. I would hate to spend all of that time only to see the game fail. I mean I am sure the game will be live, but often times when a game is not making money the game is no longer taken care of by devs. Updates, bug fixes, expansions, and so on. 
 
I went through the "THE GAME IS DEAD!" with SWTOR, so I understand how it can be overplayed. I am not looking for the game to have 1 billion subs. I just want the queues to pop and updates every now and again.
 
So I ask you the people... Do queues pop at a decent rate? Do you think the game is growing?

			Despite the complaints about population every time I log on I am able to do the things I want to do. So, there's that. 	
----
			Population is an issue on the PvP server, but you see two because all servers were consolidated into "megaservers," so it's unlikely we'd see more servers open even with a population explosion.	
----
			The game wil be fine. Just play it and have fun

I will say this, your fears are unfounded... except the queues.
 
Get into a guild, because a lot of people that have access to guilds don't queue.  PUGs, maybe unjustly, have a reputation for always having that one prick who expects all five random strangers to always be perfect with no instruction.  That means a lot of people, myself and my guildmates included, very rarely PUG since we have access to a glut of people who are down to run content.
 
Otherwise, population is on an uptick lately, especially on Entity.  Play and enjoy the game!

At the end of it all I don't think having that mentality, "Will this game die?" Should really be the deciding factor whether you give an mmo a chance or not. It sounds like you're enjoying it so that really should be what motivates you to log in everyday. I'll give you an example...I love this game...currently I am unable to do what I want to do, but I still log in and play from time to time because I enjoy it. I have also invested a crap load of time lol (wanted to be able to always play whatever was OP in PvP with each drop)
 
 
I too was part of the swtor "dead game is dead" period, unfortunately I left for a good while before it went free to play...still play it from time to time now, especially with new content drops. Even though that game has gone FTP I still enjoy it as well, play what you enjoy, don't worry too much about the outcome.

nope. queues don't pop. its almost dead. almost.
 
yes you can get into endgame if you have a guild willing to put in time to do chores with you.
you will be better at endgame if you grind the daily zones until you maxed the rep. painful and old school, dumb to a certain extent, but rewarding.
 
raids are really fun if this is your thing.

If you are enjoying the game right now, what does it matter if it dies in a year from now? That doesn't make your enjoyment of it in the present any less valuable.
 
But I would find a good guild that has active members and you should be able to accomplish anything you want to. The PvP is in a rough place right now, but you have to imagine that they will eventually get that sorted out and it will be another good aspect of the game when they do. Not sure if you are playing on Entity, but there are plenty of players there for both PvE and PvP (find the pvp circles). There are even groups of people that battle it out in Warplots on Friday nights each week.
