Just food for thought... Rift had server xfers about 6 months after launch. People don't acknowledge the fact that this game has only been out for a coupke months... JUST REROLL. I did a couple weeks ago from (according to the charts) third least populated server on the entire list! To one that is generally standard capacity, and I couldn't be happier. It's well worth starting over. You can make new friends, trust me.

They got into this mess for listening to the fans and making knee-jerk decisions based on the forums.

Personally, I think they are waiting after 1.2 before deciding whether to merge. Asia-Pacific players will get free transfers in late April, conveniently after 1.2.
They had to add new servers, 4-6 hour queues were driving people away.

What they didn't do is plan to deal with merging servers when the intial surge wore off.


Instead they had their "staggered access" plan which didn't nothing to really help the situation, and in fact made it a lot worse on many servers.
Real Star Wars space combat please, not Star Wars Fox! Maybe some PvP and flight too?

Some of us play with family and spent hours on our toons. If they do not want to move what then? what if you are in full rakata gear and you have to start over? I mean i understand legacy would be an issue with people with the same name switch servers. make it so they have to change their names.

4-6 hours? You're joking. Maybe 1 hour at most.

Nope I and everyone on my two main servers sat in many 4-6 hours queues during early access and just after Live.

Staggered early access and Guild access compounded this.

Thier queue timer didn't seem very accurate past about 2 hours, people were literally logging in a lunch time to play (hopefully) at 6pm.

There's no hope, leaving 3 lvl 50's behind since 20 people in the fleet during primetime is a gosh darn joke. Not sure i'll reroll or i'll play a game where i actually can play with people.

i am on flames of the crucible server. on tatooine doing quests this morning there was 4 people on the whole of tatooine, i go to fleet and 12 people in whole on there. i que for an hour and half to get into pvp and only lasted 5 mins before said closing as not enough people .

i know some will just say reroll on a different server but thats not an option. i play for about 12 hours per week so my lvl 35 and 28 took me a while to lvl. and apart from the story line quests the others get very repeatitive even more if you lvling an alt .

please hurry and merge because if it stays like this even if the game was free to play i wouldnt play, as at mo this game is just a single player game with heroic 2/4 quests i cant do .

At the moment in WoW, people log in, push a button, jump in an instance with no community ties. people ninja with no back lash. people act like idiots with no back lash as they know all that they have to do is join another queue.

No thanks!

Server merge yes, Cross server LFG no thanks.
In a perfect society... This is just an idealistic view. You imagine a big server, with an ability to quickly to any FP and stuff, where everyone knows each other and the evil guys are being blacklisted. Seriously, do you really believe in this? All this server community and how perfect it is is a myth. LFG is what we need.

So what you're saying is that there aren't that many people online early morning on a Wednesday?
