Try getting anything done on a server with 4 people on during prime time..
I play on three different Standard servers in North America server farm. All are still healthy, active, and doing well.

Just because someone is on a dead server does not mean 80% of the servers are dead. It's classic "projecting" when someone makes a claim like 80% the servers are dead.
When you find yourself surrounded by hostile Clowns... always go for the "Juggler" first.

Neither do I.

I spent ten minutes each of Monday night, Tuesday night and Wednesday night getting a unique group together each night for Red Reaper on The Jekk-Jekk Tarr.

Yeah, I need to resort to using /who, but I realize that if I'm expecting a better UI for group making, I'm better off just looking at Blizzard. Sadly, they went the LFD route, but maybe they'll remedy that in Titan (not likely).

Im sorry but 100-150 people on at "peak" times is not healthy active server. They need to start merging servers and fast.

I'm sorry, but what 100-150 are you talking about? Each of my servers have over a thousand people on them at prime time. And you know what... everywhere I go.. I see people doing things and having a good time.

You're absolutely right. Not all of the servers are light. In fact, only 28 of them are always light, which makes it even more egregious that BioWare refuses to merge them.

It's Friday night, and my server has a grand total of 247 people.

Refusing to merge, that's a good one...

They do not have a system in place to transfer one single character from one server to another let alone merge an entire server.

You can't refuse to do something if you can't do it in the first place.

Having spent 8 years managing the implementation of complex financial system interfaces, I'm gonna have to call BS on that one. Where there's a will there's a way. Also, when you refuse to give your customers what they want, they generally cease to be customers.

The way that have to do them now, manually, is a waste of time a resources on a problem that is not that big to begin with. If all the servers, not just 28, where light then I can see it being a big enough deal to do it by any means.

Its not like the few thousand accounts they will "save" will be that big of a deal in the end.

Stop....just stop.
Preventing Hackers and Exploiters from ruining the game is not a priority. Preventing you from mentioning the fact that they exist and go unpunished is.
