So is there any timeline on when the transfers will begin? If so, I will definitely keep subscribing.

I would love a free server transfer, but for those on heavy populated servers to move to lesser populated servers. I play on The Fatman, and often have a 15min wait to log on during night hours. Offering free transfers off of these high pop servers would balance out the server population a little more.

Dude, u are so lucky even for the wait. I am unable to do any sort of Heroic quests of FP because there are not enough people. Most worlds have 0 population and the game feels like a single player game and not an mmo. The worst was on hoth when I was the only person on for 2hrs, so cold, big and empty.

No one playing on the Fatman is going to transfer out. We have what you may call "native population" , that was there since early acess and now you a ridiculously high influx of "immigrants" starting from scratch over there. And it's only going to get worse , trust me. I'm also from Kinrath Spider , and I guarantee you that everyone on the server who considers starting a new toon on another server (Imp and Rep) has the same idea "reroll on Fatman" , and I would bet that everyone on a low pop server has a similar idea.

long worthless story... well, I have been on 3 servers now... I was assigned one with my guild at launch... leveled not too quickly... and did the OPS, pvp'd, etc. Leveled an alt between gearing and other stuff. Guild split as people slowly stopped logging in... then the fleet itself went to very small in numbers. Left to a new server after looking around for a couple days and looking into people on it. Hit 50 and started gearing... leveling an alt between that... Later, that server seems to have less and less people on. Where people used to jump to do Heroics and FPs, now you can spam for about an hour before you find people to get it done... and worlds themselves have 10-20 folks on them when you level there... Located the only server on east coast (pvp) that seems to be filled with 'refugees' as we call ourselves there. Moved there, and am starting to level a character... Now.. the kicker. I am trying to not level the same character class on the servers... since I am hoping that they do server transfers and I can bring my 2 50's, one 45, and a 30ish to the populated server... so now I am into the 'dregs' of classes I wanted to play. so either i have really bad luck getting a server assigned then picking one, or something is up. COMEON!! Bring the transfers!

I have a level 50 BH on the Lord Ieldis server, I have had since release. This server has dropped in population drastically. There have been times I have noticed the pop on a planet is myself and one or two other people. Even fleet is only at 10 people sometimes it gets up to 30 or so... But this still is not enough to provide the community needed to enjoy the game content. Because of this I have stopped trying to do any Heroics, FP's, or warzones just due to the fact that the wait times are insane! I would really like to transfer this character to another server where I have another higher level character I have been working on. I'm not so worried about transferring the guild with him but that would be nice as well since I did have to pay 5000 credits to establish the guild and credits don't come easy. I think Server transfers are a Huge deal that desperately need to be addressed by Bioware and not just tucked away with a suggestion to re-roll on another server. Starting over with a re-roll is not an option for me as I would lose all my affection with my companions, all my Crafting and Gathering, not to mention all my other progress on my Character. I also have a guild I started about 2 months ago and can't even get people to join because the pop is so low. Another issue with transfers are the other Characters I have on this same server. They are lower levels and I am reluctant to play any of them as I don't want to run into the same issues I have on my main. These I would be willing to re-roll on the other server but am just looking for some definitive response to transfers. Bioware... you have a great thing going here! I haven't enjoyed an MMO like this in a long time. Please don't let something like transfers and Server Populations ruin such a great game! This is exactly how i feel, I have a level 30 toon and i feel like it will take so much work to reroll. Really it would be amazing for server trannsfers! My friend chose a west coast server when he bought the game and we both live in the east coast. So when i bought the game i decided I would join his server. I really wish that I knew better before doing this. Today I was playing at 9 a clock eastern. Now sadly this is only 6 a clock western so not many people are on. Tatooine only had 3 people on it! On the weekend i played at 1 a clock in the morning so this I would say would be considered peak time since in the west it would be 10 a clock. There was only 30 people at fleet!

I believe they know they launched with a butt ton (Yes that's metric) of servers for launch because face it, for launch they needed them. Now we're a few months past launch and I also believe they expected drop off, because in this industry you have to it's pretty much fact that it's going to happen. Now at this point I'd like them to react to that drop off. Shutting down some servers wouldn't hurt anything. Everyone playing is an MMO player either from before or hell they are now, they understand that the heart of an MMO is people to play with, if that's hard to find, then you don't have an MMO. I doubt however that they'll offer free transfers to any server you like. What I'd wager happens is that they'll take X amount of the lowest performing servers and fold them into X amount of medium ones. So server Alphabob gets merged into Betabob and the two communities integrate from there. If they do decide to offer transfers to any server you want, I bet you end up having to pay for it. We're talking EA here after all. I can only imagine the reason that this hasn't really been discussed or done yet is because of the naming system right now. Each player has a unique Surname + How many alts worth of unique names. Bound to be some name crossover, at this point you just have to bite the bullet and say some people are going to loose their name, sorry.
That's right, i pre-ordered the CE. If you think that I think it makes me better than you, what you need to realize is that I thought I was better than you before the CE even existed.

Do you think its worth it to reroll a level 30 toon on a high populated server? I also have some more friends who are buying the game so I guess I can have fun leveling with them. God thinking about leveling on koriban again all the way up to Alderaan makes my stomach hurt lol
