So SWG has 25 servers total. 2 are for Europe. That is the most servers they have ever had, and none of them have been truly full that I ever knew of. Even when the game was somewhat popular, many cities were ghost towns. I thought this was normal... and maybe it was.
WoW on the other hand has 132 US servers and 154 European servers for a total of 286 servers for US and Euros. 286 servers!!! And the crazy thing is that most of them are FULL since Christmas. Not just heavily populated, but full enough to have a queue to log in during peak times. Any place where there are quest givers, there are people. It is crazy.
It is really annoying to have to wait 10-30 minutes to get into my server of choice, but DAMN... it is a testament to the game that it has gotten so huge.
