not really how it works, the average for these 19 servers is under 20 at peak hours and many of these 19 servers are in the single digits, so expecting 475 people if u combined these servers is going to lead to dissappointmentits more like at max 350 which gives us 1 less population than the fatman, and 2 no community infrastructure unlike everyone who transfered to the fat man has. fyi you can't buy an imperial on Naddist Rebels

this round of "transfers" is really merges jus to condense the population. any other type of "transfer" likely won't be for a while and will likely have a cost.

nope even with combining all 19 the servers average less than 20 people online at peak hours (some higher and some in single digits) do the math thats less than whats on the fatman

gunnery is getting a buff and you sould not be able to reduce a boss's armor by 100% by having 4 commando dps, please think before you nerd rage

rift/trion (a smaller company than the bioware team dedicated to swtor) was able to manage open transfers (a much more daunting task) while also releasing a brand new raid soon after. bioware could do it all but they dont want to and its not like they have to worry about a raid coming out in 1.3.... Ea got their money and now they don't really care

In the real world when you have a project to finish, an 8 hour work day becomes nonexistent.

ya i'd be fine with those numbers, numbers arent the issue in my opinion. The fatman already had a very large community and in effect had people added to that community. merging 19 servers won't work the same way. its like throwning 19 monkeys into a cage together, there will be **** all over the place

they absolutely buffed commando's in 5 attacks we can now do over 20k damage... commando is not a spike damager we are a ramp up damage, so if you are a free kill you arent playing the class correct/ should reroll

The only logical conclusion for this is that now that they have the fatman where they want it, ^ the beginning of the 1/2 of a statement that you used and its not creating wild scenario out of thin air... i can post my full blown reasoning if you really want me to. 1) ec pvp transfers cut off early and have had less transfers than even the european pvp servers hence they have fat man where they want it. They didnt reduce the number of servers opening to transfer, they just cut out EC pvp servers and threw in other servers 2a) Bioware has 2 options at this point, throw everybody onto fatman which while reasonable doesnt fit the pattern for the other east coast servers as there were just as many ec pve servers as ec pvp servers and yet the ec pve servers have had active transfers to 3 different destination servers. If they follow their own pattern and add another destination server and if they do they would have to combine all 19 of these servers because even these 19 combined don't equal the population of the fatman 2b) If they were going to transfer all of the ec pvp servers onto one server (refer to point 1) why did they stop opening transfers. 3) logically deducing from 1 & 2 the only reason they would be waiting to add another destination server is they don't know which one to pick ^^^ are all deductions from what bioware has already done, not pulled out of thin air. from there my entire post was why creating another destination was a bad idea and how it would screw over everyone getting sent to that server also i said "only logical conclusion" which is not an absolute but rather an enterpretation of data

I know what will happen... Everybody on your server will go to the only server they can go to because its the only option apart from staying on a dead server.

Not only did I not state absolutes, but if they were transfering all of us onto one server, why did they cut off EST PVP transfers at noon and slyly fill those spots with more pve transfers. Point being I'm making a logic deduction from the decisions bioware has already made, not creating wild scenarios out of thin air about what absolutely will happen.

if this happened i'd be happy... i just dont see it when there are 3 east coast pve destination servers and the same amount of origin servers as pvp

After seeing all day that east coast pvp had the least percentage of its servers open for transfers i decided to do some information gathering. This is a list of all the east coast pvp servers with populations from biowares server status page at 4:00 CDT: The Fatman Heavy -- Destination Firkrann Crystal Light -->The Fatman The Deadweight Light --> The Fatman Rwookrrorro Light --> The Fatman Thendys Noori Light --> The Fatman Hedarr Soongh Light --> The Fatman Kinrath Spider Light --> The Fatman Cho Mai Light --> The Fatman Sword of Ajunta Pall Light Bondar Crystal Light Darth Malak Light Iron Citadel Light Prophecy of the Five Light Vulkar Highway Light Infinity Gate Light Belgoth's Beacon Light Terentatek Light Port Nowhere Light Gardens of Talla Light Davik's Estate Light Helm of Graush Light Naddist Rebels Light Veela Light Anchorhead Light Death Wind Corridor Light The Twin Spears Light Saber of Exar Kun Light The only logical conclusion for this is that now that they have the fatman where they want it, they are just going to toss the other 19 extremely low population servers into the ring together. What does this mean? it means everyone is going to be forced to transfer and consolidate onto a low pop server, so where ever we go there wont be a pre-established community and still not even close to the population of Fatman plus their seven new shiney origin servers. If that wasnt bad enough now we are last to the races because you cant do ini mini miny moe fast enough to get our transfers rolling. So thanks bioware for screwing over 19 east coast pvp servers. Before I get torn a new one for "whining" look at my posts over the last couple days. I have been vehemently defending bioware up until now.

that's not at all how capitalism works.... are you kidding me? the only right or control a consumer has in the market is the right/ability not to buy something. A company doesnt have to make a product to your liking if you are still going to buy whatever the make. Out of all the ignorance spewed on these forums today, this is by far the worst

43/125 isnt half... its 1/3
