The problem here is reality. In reality most people moved on from CO silently. Many were vocal in there departure but the vocal ones are in the minority. CO has one of the worste retention rates of any MMO launched that I can remember. I would not put current active subs above 20-30k and thats being generous.

Key sign there doing fairly bad.... 2 free trial events 3 months after launch. The number just aren't there. 2nd sign, empty servers and extremely long Que times for PvP matches. 3rd sign look how slow the forums are now days.

This is 3 months after launch and the game and forums and players are like that of a 3 year old game niche MMO that hasn't had an update or expansion or word from the devs in at least 2 years.

Simply put, while I am glad people enjoy CO it simply isn't doing well. It would have made a much better single player console game, it has about the same playability as one as most people are done with CO in there first month. The game is a great deal of fun, for a very short time. One play through is about all most people will get out of it.
