This isn't about saying the population is thriving or dying.... Republic side on "The Deadweight" is so low. Fleet is usually around 30-40, I don't remember seeing over 60. I never saw more than 8 on Hoth, 12 on belsavis, 5 on voss and 4 on corriella. I was one of two on Ilum tonight when I went there. I never did any of the heroic quests in those places because there was no one available. In pvp, I basically play with the same 8-10 people because there are only 8-10 rep 50s pvping on the entire server (9-11 EST). After lvling to 50, I am not about to reroll just for a more populated one. Please merger us.

Right. They tried to make something different by choosing your class after you got some experience playing rather than from the start.

Its frustrating being out dramatically outnumbered.
