When will there be a "SERVER MERGE?"

Im on one of the servers that was touted as "the pvp server" on release and was one of the most packed ones for sure. Use to see 100-200+ and a few shards, now I see maybe 40ish people on fleet, no shards and everyone just stands still in the same spot, RIGHT in front of the pvp terminal with a few scattered near the bank and some at the GTN.

I dont claim to know the server numbers, if the game is dying, etc But anecdotal evidence points to a substantial loss in numbers. Or hey, who knows maybe there is a display bug and its actually much more people than you think. Maybe people left the fleet and now hang out on planets, who knows. Maybe everyone is raiding. At the end of the day, we just dont know

For me, the game has ALWAYS felt like a single player experience. I was on the biggest pvp server and I encountered ONE person in my whole 1-50 leveling experience. For a while I was constantly rotating my camera while exping and then I said to myself, "why? there is no one coming!". Bioware did their best to separate the two factions and essentially make sure that they never come into contact with each other.

For flashpoints I was lucky I played with my brother and he sat next to me, otherwise flashpoints???? Good luck finding a group! They screwed the pooch by not making grouping much easier and friendlier. Lets face it, times have changed and any new game needs to have the ability to find people looking for group or group people up automatically if they want to do a flashpoint. Im not saying port people into the dungeon like WoW, but you NEED to be able to at least group and then meet somewhere.

I tried to re-reoll and gave up, what is the point? Im going to do the same planets, same quests, and due to remaking now there is even less social interaction and even less groups. It just got old, and im sad because I waited for this game since about 2007 when I first heard about it.

7 people on imperial fleet in ula vi, right now...
Tomorrow my sub ends, I don't think I'll resub before we get transfer feature.

they need to just implement cross-realm grouping/pvping. then there won't be a need for a server merge

Thats another option, but I think that would be just as hard to code as server transfer

I'd settle for making Legacy cross server. I'd roll a new toon somewhere else, while waiting on merge/transfer, if I didn't loose all my levels and I could still add to them. That would be a great stopgap solution at least for me.

Yeah, this would be a very smart move by Bioware.

X-PvP is on its way, hopefully Bioware will enlighten themselves till X-LFD

Cross-server flashpoint and pvp finder is important to me as a solution.

Yep, everyone that cares is rerolling to the 1-2 heavy servers in each region. Everyone has already quit and is just waiting for game time to expire.

Im on the server Senator Contispex, max people i see on the empire fleet is 10 people. Iv got 3 level 50 characters and im not prepared to forget them all as well as all the legacy experience iv built up with them. They seriously need to do server merges quickly, I havnt been able to use the new content from patch 1.1 yet as i havnt been able to find any groups. This new content coming out looks great as did the content from last patch.

Just make it so we can use it, before making more.

This is horse crap fix the servers
