/support I have a level 50 BH on the Lord Ieldis server. This server has dropped in population drastically. There have been times I have noticed the pop on a planet is myself and one or two other people. Even fleet is only at 10 people, sometimes it may get up to 30 or so... But, this still is not enough to provide the community needed to enjoy the game content of (an MMORPG). Bioware, this means (taken from Wikipedia) *Massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) is a genre of role-playing video games in which a very large number of players interact with one another* within a virtual game world. *MMORPGs are distinguished from single-player or small multi-player RPGs by the number of players, and by the game's persistent world (usually hosted by the game's publisher), which continues to exist and evolve while the player is offline and away from the game. A total of 10 players on a planet (at any time)* does not constitute MASSIVE or MULTIPLAYER as used in the Context of these types of games.. Because of this server pop drop, I have stopped trying to do any Heroics, FP's, or warzones just due to the fact that the wait times are insane! I would really like to transfer this character to another server where I have another higher level character I have been working on. I'm not so worried about transferring the guild with him but that would be nice as well since I did have to pay 5000 credits to establish the guild and credits don't come easy. I think Server transfers/mergers are a Huge deal that desperately need to be addressed by Bioware and not just tucked away with a suggestion to re-roll on another server. Starting over with a re-roll is not an option for me as I would lose all my affection with my companions, all my Crafting and Gathering, not to mention all my other progress on my Character. Why should we the players have to pay for the games shortcomings? I also have a guild I started about 2 months ago and can't even get people to join because the pop is so low. Another issue with transfers are the other Characters I have on this same server. They are lower levels and I am reluctant to play any of them as I don't want to run into the same issues I have on my main. These I would be willing to re-roll on the other server but am just looking for some definitive response to transfers. Bioware... you have a great thing going here! I haven't enjoyed an MMO like this in a long time. Please don't let something like transfers and Server Populations ruin such a great game!

Yup he is, my server is the same, 5:30 pm and i have not seen fleet pop get past 30 on imp or repub side. I barely can do a HM FP cause takes forever to get one going and when you do and someone leaves it takes even longer to get a replacement, WZ has 15-30 min queues, Worlds are Dead, World PVP is pointless. The list goes on. Great game from bioware. It feels like i am playing a bad version of KOTOR 3.

http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/tor-servermerge/ I have started a petition to force Bioware/Electronic Arts to take this issue as seriously as we, the paying customers, believe it is. For those of you telling us to lose our invest of over a hundred dollars and hundreds of hours building a main character, then not being able to use that main as a paying customer, this petition is not for you and you can just keep on subscribing.

The only problem I had with your petition is it gave Bioware until the end of April before I pull out and that would require me to go through another billing period. I don't want to pay any more money.

Everything is simple: no transfers - no subscription until they involve it.

Thanks for firing off before knew a single fact about me or my gaming, from the responses you've had already it's true what they say about making assumptions.

I haven't enjoyed an MMO like this in a long time. Please don't let something like transfers and Server Populations ruin such a great game! They are killing their game by ignoring this MAJOR glaring issue. It makes no sense to anyone. They are screwing over so many subscribers currently that it should be criminal. Thousands upon thousands of people are getting 50% of what they are paying for. People are being flat out robbed of a true MMO experience. The horrible choices they are leaving their customers with are 100 % unacceptable. We can wait in the dark in misery, reroll in misery or quit in anger. Great choices 1.2 is irrelevant to me when i'm on a dead server with no economy and no community. It's a ghost town. Bioware needs to get their priorities straight. You would think that they would be smart enough to tackle the basics before releasing some huge content patch that a lot of us won't even enjoy /signed

Their Silence on this matter is only adding fuel to the fires as there have been discussions regarding server population that have went all the way back to Jan, which were frankly ignored. I can guarantee that Bioware will not doing a thing about this until somewhere in July, but by then, I fear it will be a little too late as most disgruntled players on the majority of low population servers will have left to go play Diablo or GW2 beta or something else to spend their time on instead of not paying for a product that is not offering a MMO experience (massively Multiplayer being the key words)

I love playing this game. But, there'd better be server transfer's soon. And they'd better be FREE. I'm getting sick and tired of completing my Heroics only when I can solo them and therefore only getting 5xp for all that effort.
