Server population is dropping...

I originally started on Harbinger. Back at early access, the queue times were hours long. Bioware's response to those of us tired of the epic queue times? Anyone remember?

"Transfers are not possible at this time, so we suggest you reroll on a less populated server."

I did that. I am now on a server that is a ghost town. PVP queues are ridiculous, and finding a group to do FPs with is almost impossible for my trooper. I have 2 50s (that may not seem like much but I am a hard working family man and don't have time coming out of my ears.), and now I am rerolling again, and going back to Harbinger.

I'm not sure if Bioware understands how frustrating this is. I really enjoy the game and I doing my best to stay with it, but they are not making it easy.

I know Bioware doesn't have exact details on what their plans are, but they should at least be able to tell us IF mergers are being worked on.

For those of us rerolling out of frustration... will be able to merge two legacies when server transfers become available? Will I even be able to transfer my old characters to a high population server like Harbinger?

If transfers for oceanic will be available at the end of April, shouldn't they should have a rough time-line for the rest of us?

We are trying to make decisions Bioware, because we want to keep playing. Leaving us COMPLETELY in the dark is just discouraging.

Lurking around on the forums searching for some bit of information is not fun.

It isnt fun to stare at the "Tank LFG any HM" you just typed 5 times over the last 15 minutes in Republic Fleet chat on a Sunday night. The scariest part is realizing that all 5 chat postings are stacked one right on top of the other.

It isn't fun, and until you all at Bioware give us some glimpse of the future, it feels like there is no end in sight.

Give us a little love... please.

As far as I see it, Bioware plans to intorduce Cross-Server warzones instead of transfers. But this is NOT going to fix the problem.

Dead server = Dead levelling = Dead trade = Dead competitiveness = etc.

36 people on Anchorhead Fleet, 6:00 EST.

Warzone started with 5, kept flashing "going to end soon"

took until 2 min left before we had enough people.
Meanwhile, in Tera general chat -

"The sad thing is, arguing with fanbois on the forums was more entertaining than their 300 million dollar single player MMO from 2008"

I opened a thread asking the Devs what they plan on doing about dropping server populations. They closed it and refered me to this thread. Problem is that we can talk about it until we are blue in the face. I dont see a developer answer anywhere in this thread.

DEVELOPERS PLEASE TELL US!

What are you going to do to fix this? Is there some consolidation coming? Your coming up on 6 months now. Can anyone else see some statistics rapidly dropping at the 6 month subscription mark?

Is this your first MMO? Things in swtor will probably get worst before they get better. I suggest that you should quit and find another game to play.

You said it yourself, it just isn't fun. My subscription ends in 10 or 11 days. I myself went through similar things as you, and I learned from wow that the best thing to do is quit and move on.

This game isn't worth it man.

There we go. That's so much less vague. No?
So far I have seen tons of people complain about customer service, or stuff not getting done and they tend to actually be good sports about it. Haven't seen anyone get locked or banned or anything for griping at customer service.

man.
I wouldn't go that far, it's a solid product with a questionable implementation. I'm really wondering How Bioware handles the sparcely populated servers. If they charge people to get off them when it's their own fault, it's not going to sit well. Howeve if they charge a modest fee of say 10 dollars, 15 max, then that would be an understandable solution.

My sub is done in 4 days, I'll be back if they introduce a proper dungeon finder that works, that's the deal breaker for moi
Our lack of a proper LFD tool will black out the sun!
Then we shall cancel our subs in the shade!
