not sure if that is entirely true, though, because 'the best' is arguable. some people even .prefer. the lower population servers. I'm actually surprised the server communities don't seem to be able to manage with their low population. in lotro I played on a low population server but there was always lots of action in the (player created!!) global channel and even if I barely saw people in the open world while leveling I never felt alone... at all.

No problems finding groups. VERY populated. I play on The Swiftsure, and I can easily say that the caliber of people who play on it seem to be a notch above in terms of helpfulness and politeness. Republic side, anyways.
Quite the opposite experience to what i've had on swiftsure. Population is 75% Oceanic and the server is a ghost town most of the day. Australian servers aren't really known for their high caliber players either.

I highly doubt that. Their most likely approach will be (hopefully) allowing those on lower pop servers to fill up higher pop ones to consolidate since alot of these servers are put in to accommodate the initial rush. Thinning out high pop servers that are already establishing their communities would be kind of... foolish.

Impossible.

The Swiftsure is the most populated server of them all. I never have problems, and the Aussies are friendly.

think about this for a little longer.
high population servers higher and low population servers lower? really?

the 'community' of a server won't suffer on the high population ones, because the people leaving will be the ones who don't feel at home on that server and are fed-up with queueing
