Howdy, ex SWG player from Chim, currently playing WoW, but i do miss SWG, the pvp is just great IMHO. Can any fellow euro players tell me what the populations are like atm?

Population is somewhat down ... not so much from people having cancelled but sharing online time with WoW or Everquest. Many took the offer to add a few bucks extra to their SOE fee to get the other 9 SOE games and are checking out Everquest 1 and 2 and Planetside etc.
On the other hand the patch of last week brings back
a) PvP players ... as finally there is a reason to fight ("this week we conquer Corellia !" :-)
b) Roleplayers ... as the new event tools allows them to do so much more than before.
On Corellia alone I have seen a battlefield with half a dozen destroyed AT AT, downed TIEs and X-Wings and a Tyderium shuttle, with groups of 20-30 RSF or Fed Dub Officers walking around the wreckage assessing the damage of the recent GCW fight ... and DARN .. that felt SOOOO right.
Have fun

PS : If you log in an old character ... check your status. You may be a combatant, which means NPCs of the opposing faction will attack you on sight. Contrary to the old overt/covert system players of the opposing factions cant attack you unless you switch to special forces. Go to a recruiter to either "go on leave" (=neutral, kinda like the old covert) or switch to "special forces" (=PvP).
