But the perception is and this is t he reason we need to lose some servers

If you notice the fleet pop drobs every weekend by another 10 to 20 player (the server had ~150 the same time 4 weeks ago) ... there isn't much room for any other conclusion .

I have 3 chars at level 36 with rank 36 now.
And it's not so much fun too when you start BGs with 5 peopel where 3 aren't even level 20 (YES; level does matter has they miss alot of important skills).

It's not that I don't have friends or if try hard can find 4 people for a flash point after hours of /all spamming. It's just NO FUN that way.

With your argument a total pop of 16 would be enough to call a server healthy. But that's terrible wrong. 16 players was a cool number back the days where I managed private LAN-Partys. But for a MassiveMultiplayerOnly it's just a bad joke.

o yes, im sure that the server i am on now has had nothing but an increase in people. However the experience of the two other servers, with enough of a drop in population to BE gamebreaking is where the problem is, imho.

More the reason to press for server merges rather then quit right away.

With the population spread out so much its easy to have a low pop server will over a million players ..ie 900 peak server with only 300 republic spread over 30 "instances" = dead even though there are a million active players still playing

Come to Nathema, and you will understand. We have a Fleet pop of 23 at the high times. Belsavis and Hoth had no more than 5 people on the whole time I was leveling my Consular. I flag LFG every night for hours, and browse /who aggresively, but I haven't gotten a flashpoint since Athiss.

This is a bit funny, because Im doing a little experiment for about a week, and at the moment the server Im watching, there is a total of 1200 people playing, and there is a 45% republic to 55% empire relations. I have no idea where these people are, just that they are logged in.

And the number im watching have been increasing with about 200 people every second hour.

So complaining there is noone at fleet might have its own reasons, maybe they are elsewhere doing stuff?

Agreed we need players asking for merges as a group rather then individual posts or just quitting out right.

And folks if you are quitting please state if they give you space in an exit poll to let them know they have too many servers

Friday, primetime, 40 imps in fleet. I can only imagine what the pubs fleet looked like as we outnumber them.

Two of my friends have stopped playing because of this alrdy. Had they merged servers they would still be playing.

This game's candle seems to be burning out fast. A real shame.
