When will there be a "SERVER MERGE?"

I was willing to be patient for the first two months, but we lost too many good people in March. I don't know if they've moved to more populated servers or just quit the game, but either way it feels like my server is trapped in a downward spiral. It requires way too much networking on my part to form groups for warzones, flashpoints, and ops. I didn't mind doing that in the short term, so we could experience fresh content, but no way am I doing that on an ongoing basis. The fact that they're pushing new content instead of rectifying this problem baffles me. I couldn't care less about the Legacy system, because I'm not leveling any alts until there are more people to play with.

P.S. It's 7pm EST, and there are 228 people on my server (107 Republic + 121 Imperial).
Zzzzzzzzzz

If I have to rename any of my characters, I'm done. Game over.

If they do a server merge, they need to take that into account.

I did not pre-order, on the first day possible, to lose out on my reserved names.

I will not be moving off my existing server (I'm happy with its population at the moment), but if newcomers are transferred on, then the existing characters should take name priority.

Well just keep in mind that some mmos will decide rename based on /played but I would guess your name would be safe on a straight transfer to your server

My point is only that they need to be very careful how they handle name issues if they need to merge servers.

I can put up with a lot from an MMORPG, but that's the one thing that I won't put up with. Take my name, take my identity, lose my subscription.

When they merge servers, if I am required to change any of my character names, I am ok with it provided I am given 2 extra character slots free.

I am okay with anything as long as they merge it as soon as possible cause right now its becoming a single player game.

Right now there is no ETA on server merges .. Transfers for Asia Pacific end around end of April with transfers for everyone else sometime later

Yeah were looking at a significant amount of time with things only getting worse till then. Lets hope they do transfer properly, I better not see a 25 dollar price tag on them cause I got alts I'd want to bring.

The reason this is such an active topic (4+ threads) is because most people don't want to wait another month or two. BioWare is introducing new content when a significant portion of the user base can't even experience the existing content. There's no level 50 PVP on my server. That in itself is a game breaker for many people.

Agreed. My server is slowly dying, and I don't have any intention of rerolling just to play on a populated server. Warzone queues are already getting silly, even on the Republic side, and if the server continues to waste away into a ghost town, I will roll something on a different server.....in another game.
