So I start another thread asking if there was a peep from BW about this issue and immediately they responded by closing my thread.
So they certainly read the boards. They just are not allowed to say anything about the most important issue facing the game.

Watch it. The moderators at times get big old clubs and forget whose paying there wages on these boards.

Bioware should just admit it rolled to many servers for launch to make it as seemless a launch as possible and now its time to consolidate.

It worked for Asia. it will work in north america.

Or we can go with plan B.

Planned Protests. Creating level 1's on say harbringer. everyone. The intent to crash the damn server to get our servers needs heard.

A set date and time of the protest isn't that hard to get out and coordinate through twitter. I'd highly suggest bioware doesn't go with plan b and picks a sound course of action which is to let me move my expensive paid for toons off the empty single player server I was forced to elect on my pre-order date since the others where not available to create on. Now I am stuck on a desert island.

Intentionally crashing a server is a good way to lose your gaming privileges.

Unless you have a youTube channel with a few hundred thousand followers.

My server is also dying down extremely rapidly, lately guilds are merging to keep raids going. The days of several shards on planets are long long gone and having 20 people in the Republic fleet at peak is the norm.
I dont have the time or the will to reroll on another server, probably to find that one empty soon enough.

Bioware i hope you realize you are losing quite a bit of people because of your stubberness to merge low pop. servers. I will remove myself from your income piechart maybe i return when you offer merges. The best of luck with your game.

Guilds have been merging on my server aswell.... population at peak times : 30-40 players in the fleet.

This may seem much but its not... queues can go well over 1-2 hours and half of the players is afking.

I have moved to the only high pop EU server, tomb of freedom nadd. This server is full of server switchers but who cares, at least it FEELS like an mmorpg.

All the other servers feel like single player games, I miss my toons, I have invested months of work in them and I dont get to play them anymore because it is simply impossible.

Its like I have worked on restoring a car for a year and yesterday it got stolen from me.

I have leveled a new toon to level 12, and I have given up, I have simply given up. I don't have that happy-feeling anymore, after leveling 3 characters to 50, I am DONE. Bioware can have my subscription back when they offer server transfers and nothing else.


Merging 3 dead servers won't fix anything. They will have to merge at least 5-10 servers togheter to create a decent community.

Having many empty servers is bad. Open your eyes bioware, you are NOT world of warcraft. You do NOT need 50 servers with 50 players each. Instead, have 5 servers with 500 players each. Quality > Quantity, a thing you have yet to learn.

I'd like to see some server merges. Mask of Nihilus(republic side) is pretty much a ghost town outside of weekends. hard to find groups for any instances. We had huge queues at launch.

It's 6AM at Ord Mantell, Bright Jewel has not yet started to show its blue light, but i have to start working, and i will until the blue star has gone again.

Life in this galaxy is not easy for an Immigrant, stablished beings have a possition their parents earned for them, they have a Legacy that helps them, we have no one to support us and need to work harder just to get a fraction of the benefits they have.

But we knew all that when we took the decission to leave our dying home worlds, looking for a better place, a place alive where we could start a new career.

We knew it, so the hard work is not something you will hear us complaining about, we have an strong back, we can handle it, but .....

Sometimes you will see us crying in a dark corner of the local cantina, lonely, with no one close enough to share our troubles. Because that's what really upsets us, thinking about what we left behid, our family, our LEGACY, left behind because GODS left our worlds die. We tried to make a life, but it was too late, every day we saw people dying or leaving, so we finally had to leave looking for a better place.

-------------------------------

Please Bioware, start merging servers asap and allow us to migrate our chars "left behind" in dead/dying servers to the more populated ones where we are already playing.

We want to enjoy the game in its full magnificiency, and thats not possible on light and standard servers (my mains are in a standard server), 50-60 pax at fleet in peak time is not enough to experience the game. I have rerolled in a very heavy one, and the game is something totally different, im enjoyin it, but i feel its not fair to loose those hard earned Legacy levels i had, its not my fault, i wanted to keep playing in my old server, but it came to a point where it was almost impossible.

PLEASE.
A long time from now, in a galaxy far, far away, fanbois will realize they hurt games they love in a way no troll could ever dream of.

Server merges would be great. I didn't pick my server, Bioware did when it assigned our guild to the server. We went where Bioware assigned us on launch day. Server merges can't come soon enough for me or my guildies.

To be fair, when you're stuck on a dead server, losing your gaming privileges isn't that big a deterrent. Stunts like that have worked in other games (see WoW).
