I for one, have no problem with the server transfers, merges, whatever you wan to call them. It does help bring in more population in a game that is SUPPOSED to be interactive. I will take the good with the bad. I only have one concern and one suggestion: Concern: Like many of the people in this thread, I already have characters filling slots on my designated destination server. I would be HAPPY to transfer, if I could have the choice between two servers, or some other way to address the number of character slots. I simply can't move all of my characters off of their current server, or I would do so. Suggestion: Since we are consolidating servers, I want to point out a problem. There is currently no difference between RP and non RP servers. It the very least, I would expect there to be some guidelines for naming or some other way to differentiate the play styles. Why bother having the RP designation if there is zero enforcement? You might as well label all server as PVE or VPV and be done with it. As a note. I love this MMO and it is the only one I am willing to keep paying for at this time. I love the stories, characters and game-play. I still recommend it to friends and coworkers on a regular basis. I cannot wait to see what is on the horizon and I am looking forward to continuing my subscription. Please continue to keep your loyal subscribers in mind as you move forward with these changes and consolidations.

I find it amazing at the number of people criticizing Bioware and the SWTOR teams on the forums. The release date is still officially Dec 20. One of the benefits of the preorder was the opportunity to start playing UP TO 5 days before launch. The way everyone is behaving, you would think that the staggered entrance was after release date. They staggered entrance into the Beta in November as well, if I recall correctly. Personally, I would rather them prioritize the entrance based on order date than have an unforseen issue pop up to delay my own entry date. Yes I only pre-ordered a few weeks ago myself. To put it simply, everyone just needs to relax and not live your life around an MMO. The game will be there, and you will get in before the "unwashed masses" on Dec 20th. Why can't you just enjoy the game and relax a bit? Oh! Right....... this is the Internet and we are contractually obligated to flame, complain and belittle one another..... Seriously, just relax and be happy for the email when it arrives. I don't mind a staggered start, it will cut back on some of the overcrowding at the beginning of the game.
