When will there be a "SERVER MERGE?"

Population is decreasing really fast, it least it is on my server. There used to be some players on most of the planets a few weeks ago. Now I'm the only one on correllia, it is literally impossible to enter a warzone and i think my entire guild quit the game. If this goes on I'm going to be alone on my server! I really hope something will be done really soon because the game itself is really good. But my point is that if nothing happens real soon, alot of servers will die. People keep saying that they won't merge servers because it's bad publicity. But if I was bioware, I'd rather have people talking about merged servers than about empty servers, or a dying game.
(Sorry if this has already been said, just wanted to say what i think)

I watched DCUO go through this exact same thing with the exact same retorts to the dwindling server population and the only thing that saved that game was a relaunch to F2P.
So you are saying that the game went from 1.7m to F2P in a month?

I'm on Uthar Wynn. 19:44 GMT at the time I started writing this. Nobody in Hoth, 1 person in Corellia, Naar Shadaa and Alderaan, 2 in Coruscant and Tatooine, 3 in Taris and Balmorra, and 5 in Belsavis (did i forget one?). Fleet has 19 counting myself. When i log on more awkward times, i like to streak naked in the fleet because i'm alone and frankly there's nothing better to do.

I really like this game but please do something about it. If you're not, say something so I can finally give up my char and my streaking days with lost hope and roll another char somewhere else or unsub (have to give it some thought).

I check the forums regularly to see if there is word on this yet. Someone said they are working on transfers. What exactly has been said, can i get a quote?

Just merge servers so all of them are like Fatman... who cares what it looks like from a PR standpoint, make the player base you have happy.

I will make one post per day to support a server merge. I also will settle for some kind of cross server lfg system pve/pvp. When you do that I might consider still playing you when GW2 comes out............Not!

I just canceled my subscription. I cant find people even for Heroic 4 quests in the Lord Calypho server which is supposed to be the 3-4th largest english european server. I cannot imagine how bad is the situation on the rest servers...

Canceling your subscription is the only thing they understand.Not rerolling on another server...

By then they'll have all the kinks worked out, and then the rest will come.

Claiming the people are quitting because the population is dropping is just weird. People may be hiatusing until 1.2, rolling on a different server, are back in school, busy IRL, or are waiting for transfers. But, we'll just group them all together and just say they quit the game.
I've had lots of guildmates and friends quit for lack of boredom and lousy server pops. Who the hell wants to set in fleet of 50 spamming LFG all day. There is a SERIOUS problem. But it seems BW wants to gamble. If i was a betting man, I would bet that a big chunk of people will be long gone by D3. All these bugs, nerfs and lack of care from BW's is atrocious.

Right now there are 100+ 50's logged in right now Republic and Empire side on your server perhaps the issue lies with you?

On 3/1 they came out and said they were having issues and that transfers for Asian/pacific players wouldn't be until the end of April with the rest to follow sometime later. So seeing that they are having issues with transfers what makes you or anyone here think that mergers are going to be easier to implement?

Unsubbing is making it worse because it TAKES AWAY RESOURCES. When subs go down budgets are cut which usually means the cuts are from the bottom, you know the people that actually DO STUFF. Every unsub due to impatience is another nail in the game.

Unsubbing is the only way they will pay attention. I already unsubbed both my accounts. If things improve and BW shows that it will listen to its fanbase, I will happily resub. Until then, there is no sense playing a NOT-MASSIVELY SINGLE PLAYER GAME.
