My server is well and truly dead (Sceptre of Ragnos) I reckon that there is a couple of hundred people playing on it AT MOST. It just seems like BW is burying their head in the sand!

I can’t describe how annoyed I am of having 3 level 50 toons on a server which has 30 people on fleet at peak times! I was in the first wave of invites in the head-start, and so I don’t think I should have to start from scratch on another server, I have spent 4 months of my life building my legacy, BW needs to get server transfers up and running like a week ago!

Yes games like Wow did not have server transfers up for many years after launch, but one has to realize that server transfers were not standard practise back then. However, it is these days. Therefore, my message to BW is to stop being idiots and acknowledge that there is a MASSIVE problem, that 1.2 will not solve anything, and if they don’t want to continue losing subscribers hand over fist to get the server transfers up and running VERY VERY soon and lasty to show use people that are trying our best to weather the storm that there is hope.

The drop in server populations all began with Gabe Amatangalo and his abysmal design of Ilum which quite frankly was laughably terrible! That guy should be demoted to coffee and tea maker! I might get a warning for what I have said here but I don’t care! What I am saying is the truth.

I know pops are low but you can't go by he Zone number in the upper left hand corner it is always stuck at nine....last week our guild had a guild meeting on Tatooine sixty of us zoned into Anchorhead; the Zone number said it was nine. They need to either fix that or remove it because right now it's useless.

Amazing Bioware has yet to comment on such a heated topic. It's as if they want people to unsub instead of calming people's nerves by saying they'll take care of it. You would think this would be an extremely high priority that they would talk about openly.

Pretty disheartening Bioware. Our server population is extremely low on "The Constant."

oooooooooor, they see the real numbers and stats on people playing on each and every server... and they know the truth on what is going on... which may be far removed from the few doomsayers and trolls that parade around the forum...


just maybe....

Do you really think that this many different people came here to complain about a problem that doesn't exist?

They wont do anything until after 1.2. They can't. They need to get the legacy system in place and then start work on transfers. Last I heard I think they were talking about late april for transfers to the oceanic servers.

Imagine the grief if they go it slightly wrong and something went wrong with your toon.

You really want it NOW?? without testing?? just magically done?
/facepalm

They should open up transfers today. After a month, then combine servers down to about one quarter of what they have now.

THEN, they should put the legacy system sometime this summer. Perhaps that could be patch 1.3. They are hemorrhaging players. Not doing anything about low pop issues because it is too hard to implement AFTER a legacy system nobody gives two sh|ts about is bass ackwards.

They will be sorry (but of course they will never acknowledge or understand) that this is the sole reason for them having less than a million subs by the time June rolls around.

Get a clue, Bioware.
