If they actually read the petition they would see that it is with heartfelt kindness that I ask them to deliver a product as promised, and giving them warning that many people may look elsewhere if that product is not delivered. Please sign the petition, despite it being "frowned upon". This is not a petition thread, merely a link to a petition if you agree with the idea of server mergers and/or server transfers. Not to mention petitions are not against forum conduct merely "frowned upon" http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/tor-servermerge/ I will leave you with this forum policy quote... Quote: Petition posts are frowned on. If you have an issue with the game, please discuss it in a civil and informed fashion. Pretty obvious that server mergers and low population is taboo in EA/BW's eyes. Doesn't surprise me that they don't care.

I would be stunned if they hadn't predicted a population drop-off and didn't have plans for it. If anything, they're probably scratching their heads over the success of the PvP servers.

I swear half my guild has rerolled on another server including me. 11 people on fleet at 7:30pm Wed night is not acceptable.

Plenty of people in the zones and a lot of activity going on, healthy GTN.
When you find yourself surrounded by hostile Clowns... always go for the "Juggler" first.

Gotta agree with the "empty feel" of the world. I'm on "The Deadweight." One of the things I've always enjoyed in MMO's is running across the random player who was getting his/her hindquarters kicked and being able to help them out. (I had a 60 rogue come out of nowhere once and save my 30-something mage and it's still one of my favorite MMO moments. (Well that and the time a newbie "tank" in PUG said he didn't like using "Sunder Armor" because "When I do that all the monsters attack me!") But I digress. Back on point... As a healer, I've always enjoyed just running by and topping off somebody's health just because. Or running into somebody on the same quest and teaming up. But in SWTOR, I hardly ever see anybody. Yes, I know many people are 50 and I'm not there yet, but that doesn't negate the fact that usually I feel like I'm playing $15/month for a single player game. I'm level 38, I've had 1 world PVP encounter. One!

Care to name them? Quote: Originally Posted by DarthSkyWookiee I'm level 38, I've had 1 world PVP encounter. One! Grats. Be grateful you had even that. Quote: Originally Posted by Rafkin The "guys in charge" are probably trying to line up a new job before they announce server mergers. A sad fact that allows bad developers to continue to inflict misery on the genre. Quote: Originally Posted by Kubernetic They have answered it. They have announced repeatedly that server TRANSFERS (not mergers) are on the way. But apparently some players who frequent the forums are: A) Too impatient to wait, and B) Too mindless to roll a new character on a new server in the mean time. I am all out of sympathy for these people. You deserve what you get. I'm not the one on a timetable here. They're the ones fighting for subscribers. If they think transfers coming in May is a good idea, I'm all for it.... transferring to D3, that is. Who am I kidding; I was destined for D3 since I discovered that 1-50 was so shallow and the boxed PvP was WAR 0.9, though I am very grateful that Mythic responded to requests to recognize and reward tank contributions in PvP.

All of the very good reasons why BW must implement server merges or free character transfers have already been stated in the hundreds of posts before this one, so I am just adding my voice to the cry..... Please do it very soon as the low population severs are exacerbating the issue and will make even more people leave the game and the snowball keeps rolling and keep getting bigger. I love MMOs and I am one of the biggest Star Wars geeks in the galaxy but even I am becoming disillusioned

I was thinking how best to layout the servers to act as a single virtual server. The things that they would need to focus on are: How servers store & access character information (so that no matter what server your "home server" is the apporaite info is stored and accessed regardless of your current location) How characters would be temporarily transferred to another server. (I was thinking something similar to cross server LFG/Warzones) Restrictions to server hopping (A server cap where character hops will be locked off so that players who are at "home" there would still be allowed to log on) Handling communication (chat channels like General Chat will be busy) Cross server guilds (accessing the guild bank and stuff) Cross server GTN. What you guys think?

How many times does this thread have to reach the post limit for them to take action? Each day that passes people are getting more and more frustrated..
