Hi eventidephoenix,
This is not something that we can really comment on in the customer service forum.
There is an on-going thread in the suggestion box forum about consolidating APAC servers that you should contribute to: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=531982&
The suggestion box forum is for the game developers to see what our community wants to see introduced in the game.
Thanks for your question!

67 pages and you expect us to still have hope? Just give me my damn transfer and I'll forget that we had APAC servers.
