Totally. All this discussion around other "options" just confuses matters though.

I just want to put it out there, that unless there's a unified view on what steps should be taken to rectify the problem, we're not going to have a good outcome. Given the infighting seen of late as to the various options, I'd like to suggest we take the decision away from the community and accept a forced server merger, with options to transfer after the fact. It's pretty clear that if free or paid transfers were offered we'd be in a similar position due to the differences in opinion around ping times, PvP/PvE/RP server types, hell even what server to migrate to. The only path forward I can see that will work for the community as a whole is to force the merger upon us, then if you don't like it, transfer off to a US/EU server at your discretion.

This is my thought as well. All that time and effort I put into those characters on Gav Daragon, I don't want to lose that just because Bioware can't do their job. It comes back to having "fun", what Bioware is (or isn't) doing is making the game not fun. I do not want to play it when they act this way. The thought of re-rolling on another server doesn't sound like fun at all. If that's the only option Bioware will give me then I don't wish to play this game any more as it would no longer be fun for me. Having said that, right now they've not even stated that. They've left us in this disgusting limbo place. Horrid customer service. If I was running Bioware I'd be kicking these Customer Service rep's asses.

I totally forgot my sub was renewing today. Missed my opportunity to cancel it damn. Guess I'll hold out another couple of weeks and see how things are going then. By the looks of things nothing would have changed.

I think the 3 people left RP-ing wouldn't mind that much. Everyone else just treats it as a regular PvE server anyway.

My understanding of F2P, this won't really help people post level 50. There seems to be a lot of restrictions around what F3P players can do, and most of those seem to be endgame stuff. I could be wrong of course, but I've not heard anything from Bioware to suggest otherwise. Mind you I've not heard anything from Bioware to suggest they're actually alive and breathing over there......

They have told you, their plan is to tell you more as the find out. Of course for them to find out more, that would require they actually think about the problem. Which would also require thinking about the Oceanic community as a whole. They did that once, they're due to do it again sometime in the next 12 years.

This is why we don't get looked at. This thread's been going on for weeks now, and we've only got what, around 550 posts here. The servers go down in US prime time and they'll get that many posts in a couple of hours. It may seem like a big deal for us, because, you know, it IS! But for Bioware, we're just that annoying little problem over there that we should get around to looking at but it's not important enough. I think it's time to call it a day with time game. This isn't a game for people outside of the US.

I know what the problem is, we've already had 2 Bioware Employee replies in this thread. Clearly we've used up the allotted amount. the only solution is to cry.

I don't think I've seen one post saying they don't want to lose the PVP server. Everyone seems fine with accepting a move to a PVE server. This can't be what's holding up the process. I suspect it's just not important to them.

They can say that if they want to, it's totally up to them. I don't see how that will appease the APAC community that is already mightily pissed off with them right now. I personally don't want a "transfer", I would like a server merger like what was just done in the US. Take these 3 servers we have here for our region, and merge them into a single server. I also think the threats of leaving don't bother Bioware due to the impending FTP. They'll be expecting to lose a lot of paying subscribers to FTP, it's the nature of that model, so losing a few APAC players beforehand will be of little concern to them. So basically, I don't think they're going to announce anything before FTP in regards to APAC server consolidations. We can be a noisy as we like about it, but they won't respond. They have no reason to just yet. Once they go FTP you'll see a bit more communications from them, they'll have a player base that has no ties to this game, they'll need to ensure everything is done to make the game as playable as possible then. Right now, we're kind of locked in, we WANT to pay to play, but they don't really need us to.

Wow, this is just pathetic. I haven't logged on for a couple of weeks now, I thought I'd check back here expecting to see news about my impending server change, but instead NOTHING. WTH Bioware? How can you just ignore a game breaking problem like this? At least answer this - Why should I continue to subscribe?

That's not rage quitting, that's standing up for your fellow players when bullied by these "customer service" forum mods. Also I'm not sure if everyone is aware, but they are actively deleting posts in this thread. I posted before giving feedback that I felt the customer service response wasn't at all suitable, expressed my thoughts on the dwindling population, and thanked OP for putting the time in to write this up for everyone. That post has since been deleted though. This is the pinnacle of bad service. It's no surprise at all I see people quitting over this. God knows I'm re-evaluating if I want to be part of this community any more.

Looks like the response is - "No server transfers for you!"

Yeah as if. If the Dev's don't at least acknowledge the problem I don't' see why I should continue to support them. It also says a lot about a game where I don't want to replay it all again. I don't want to re-roll because I won't have fun to play it again.....
