I haven't logged in to SWTOR for a long long time. Most of the servers were completely vacant and was running around alone. It looks like they are making a huge new investment into the game - will certainly return to take a look after the server merge.
I'm still playing it, not regularly as football and other things take up my time, but on the weekends I'll spend a few hours.
I've gotten 3 of my characters all the way through the solo content right through Crisis on Umbria. I'm going to get all of them though that point (the other 5) and see what's coming next.
I don't mind empty servers as much as I'm mostly a solo play stuff who will do a occasional war zone or flashpont or galactic star fighter.
I still really like the game and its cheap to play as a subscriber.

It's a shame we don't get class specific story beyond the launch material, I get it's an expense they wont bother with at this time in the games life but it was still the single best leveling experience I've had in a game.
I'm sure I'll end up giving it a another run soon, I did subscribe just to maintain my name ownership whenever that was a few months ago.
update 5.9 came out yesterday, which concludes the KOTFE story line
the major add on was the final flashpoint for the story of Theron's betrayal of the alliance.
Spoiler!
Basically you've been tracking him as a traitor and finally have tracked him and a group of Zildrog worshipers, lead by a former Horizon Guard who wants to release the sleeping god to wipe out the alliance.
It does turn out that Theron was playing double agent and had infiltrated the group without you knowing it. He reunites with you and Lana to stop the god from being woken up.
Unfortunately you arrive too late and the god is woken up and he wipes out your eternal fleet which allows the Sith Empire and Republic to start up their war again, meanwhile your alliance that was standing between the two sides with a huge fleet is left powerless with the fleet and the Gravestone and the Eternal Throne destroyed.
In the end you have a choice of saving Theron and reuniting him with the alliance, or leaving a wounded Theron to die.
But its a good end to a story that was either really liked or really hated with no middle ground.
the next update is number 6 which is supposed to be a full expansion with a whole new storyline.

Bump, a new story/chapter drops today, which is Jedi under seige. Which re-ignites the war between the Sith Empire and the Republic and takes place on the ancient jedi world of Ossus. They've also made changes to the guild system, added another level of armoring/augments and added a new daily area.

You have to decide to side with the Empire or with the Republic. On my first play through I decided to keep my agent loyal to the Empire.
I arrived on Ossus where the Jedi are hiding out, and ran into Darth Malora, who is creating super soldier genosians. Of course they're out of control. We're sent out to pick up supply drops. We return to the base and just as Malora is about to send us on a sucide mission the box opens and
Spoiler!
Darth Malgus returns and sends her off a cliff, awesome start.

You don't get access to the expansions and there's limiters on storage, access to some PVP arenas and your storage is limited. But you can play through to level 50. You can also buy a lot of those things using purchased cartel coins.

I think Cap and I are probably the only ones still playing, but there is a significant expansion coming out in September.
I did a /played for ####es and giggles, 93 days on my main, not including alts and I’ve barely played the last 5 years. What have I done with my life

I last played two years ago. At that time all of the online servers were dead. Is there any community or is it still mostly single player running quests?
