Just saying..id let my account go dormant, unsub, or anything besides delete. WoW, Rift, Swtor and even GW2 wasn't and wont be perfect till months after release. I cry to think how much time people spend making toons, then go hard delete them.

If you love the game..unsub till you see merges/xfers then come back.

Lastly..i hate hearing re-roll too. I have a healy sage that i wouldnt want to roll another healy sage somewhere else. That would be a slap in the face.

However being a long time "that other big mmo" player. I would ALWAYS roll another alt on another server before i xfered all my raiding toons if guild shopping.

If xfers are only 6-8 weeks away. Crosses fingers. That isnt that long of a timeframe if shopping for a good guild.

Trying to keep it positive.

BW i wont defend you much longer. YOU REALLY DO NEED TO PUT A YELLOW POST ABOUT MERGES. The dude you hired to merger forum threads is very fast. Promote him to lead Merger/Xfer programmer for in game servers. Plox and TY!

They were banking on making that feature later and they thought they had more time. I don't know hwo you don't know your own market and produce a MMORPG, it scares me to be honest.
It's not arrogance....the doom and gloom that people like you have been preaching is wishful thinking on your part; I know you don't believe that and I'm trying to change your mind; I will just point out that in twenty days we will have the games fourth month anniversary and you will still be here and still paying.

This post should talk about increase max population on servers too because if a server merge is going to happen (i hope so) the servers with very heavy, heavy and even standard will have queue so please increase max population

I was just looking at attrition numbers in our guild....its shocking. I would say 60 to 70 percent of 50s have quit this game since release. Ouch.

7.30 PM PST just logged in to Zaalbar. 40 players in fleet, went to Voss grand total of 8 players (excluding me). Checked server status list and Fatman has a 15min wait. It's only going to get worse as more and more abandon dying servers to move to the populated ones.

They are not ignoring the problem. They have said they will be offering server transfers after the Aussie character transfers later this month.

Besides, they have much better analytics as to what is actually happening on the servers then any of the drive by crazy allegations that land in this and "the server is dropping" thread.

In the mean time, some players are taking personal initiative and rolling new characters on servers where the population meets their needs while they await the transfer process release. And others are QQing and doom and glooming it up in the forums.

If you are too impatient to wait for the transfer process, then take a break from the game until they release it to the player base.

As for people deleting their characters.... I'll bet we see that same person back after transfers open, and he will be QQing that they won't restore his characters so he can transfer them.

I like this quote. I don't even agree with it, but its worded in a way that makes me laugh.
"In this Galaxy there are two kinds of people. Those with loaded Blasters, and those that Slice. You, Slice."
