When will there be a "SERVER MERGE?"

Same issue here.

Server pop is dying.

Bioware's plan, I Assure you, is to wait for 1.2 because many players will return to try the changes and new content.

This will delay server merges for about 60 days.

The problem is that Bioware is apparently unaware that this will only compund the problem.

Apparently thy have take a page from the "kick the can" playbook from Fed Chairman bernanke.....

I know alot of folks who have given up, and many others who are ready to do so.

30 days of new content for endgame players will only compund the issue because at the end of raiding that content, every single one of them will realize they are back to square one and quit....again.

The solution is to swallow your pride, admit the mmo players attention span has decreased over the years, and provide a SOLID PRODUCT to your current subscribers.

My guild had 109 members in January, with an average of 10-15 logged on at all times.

We now have about 25 active members and 4-5 logged on at PEAK hours.

Add me to this list of those not resubbing after I run the new Operation a few times....because there is nothing on the other side of it and noone playing.

And no, Legacy does NOTHING for me because ti is all PvE and I don't want to level another toon.

This is not rocket science Bioware. Why are you failing so hard to give your customers what NINETY-FIVE PERCENT of them want?

Pathetic.

My server "The Exiles Crystal" isn't even Low. I'd like to class it Very Low.
My first guild I joined was great, but eventually about 6 weeks ago the population drops were being noticed and the active part of the guild all left and re-rolled on TOFN.

As I have 1 chr and I level slow, I didn't fancy another 2 months lost to start all over again. I stuck on the server and found a new guild.
I only just hit lvl 50, but with under 40 people in the Imperial Fleet at peak hours it's impossible to do anything. At 9pm last night there were 24 in the Imp fleet.
It was always near 100 when I first started playing.

Although my new guild want to start running operations, we only can find 1 healer. It's not looking likely that we will get another healer before more people leave and either re-roll or give up. I'm giving it a couple of weeks and then I may just quit the game. I wanted more MMO out of this than I am getting for my money. Here's hoping a server merge comes before I give up.

...and for 3 months play I have bumped into less than 10 republic players while I have been questing....
That small buzz of excitement of world PvP really is too far apart.

This game made me move back to Aion.

Think about that.

They said they were going to open up transfers.

It takes time to code these things.


Patience.

People lose patience fast when they get billed monthly and instead of mmo they purchased they got a single player game.
Maybe we should send a bill to them instead for testing their beta game for 4 months.

1.2 can go jump in a lake.. I've already wasted lots of time leveling, getting rakata gear, legacy level, etc.. And now my main is on a dead server (scepter of ragnos) and it's no fun playing.

No way am I wasting any more time on that character until they enable character transfer.

Everyone (who is still playing) in my guild has gone to Tomb of Freedom Nadd (EU), there are 250 people in republic fleet there.. on scepter of ragnos there were 12 (peak times).

Nobody is forcing you to continue getting billed every month.

Indeed.. I've cancelled my subscription, and I'll consider reactivating it when character transfer comes.

If you do make sure to write why in the survey they send you when you unsubscribe
