seems like a logical non conspiriacy tinfoil hat answer

its a holiday today so people might be with families..there are millions of reasons people could be gone too


infact my server lately has been running standard instead of light recently so I can only assume the pop is growing
Ofk at peak times. It's so every day of the week. I guess people are on one big holiday called "sub is cancelled"..

My server is still LIGHT. And if there were a rank below light I'm sure it would be that

Think a more likely answer to the question why they ignored the topic of server merges, is that if they start talking about server merges, it means they admit their number of subscriptions is dropping, which is bad news for EA and the shareholders.

I honestly believe it will be a long time before we'll see server merges.

Here is another way to look at it then. If they do not they are losing more subs because people are not going to just re-roll characters on other servers. is that the fault of the player? I do not think so. So it is a catch 22 damned if you do damn if you don't. With them saying try re-rolling character on a more of high pop server I see they have taken their stand for no server merges. it is not one i agree with but i do not run the company.

End-game content is ex facte week. Game Engine optimisation miserable.
PvP is impoverished. How exited can we get ?

Seriously people, you are way too much "high-fed". By that i mean, you expect impossible things. You seriosly do not realize what some features cost. Money, energy, time and you still whine.

Have patience, for god's sake!

Everyday, i see someone compare swtor to wow. I hate those comparements but if you already compare those games, you should compare SWTOR now to WoW at realease.

Your "so great Warcraft" also didn't have enormously high population on beginning, it had no server transfers, no server merges, no faction changes, no talents, no achievements, pvp imbalance, 1 pvp battleground, no barber or such fashion changes and much more!

Only the fact that you expect those things in a brand new game, doesn't mean it will be there immediately. It will take time, as everything. It is literally impossible to release a game with all that. I admit, they made too many servers but just for a case, there would be a massive wave of people, instead, most joined Tomb of Freedon Nadd and it's the most crowded server.

Just give it a time and you will see what BW and SWTOR are capable of. So far, everything you did wish for, they implemented, and I bet, they will implement such things what you whine for, it just won't be now and it, by all means, is understandable.

If you won't wait month or few months for those features, then yes, go back to your lovely Warcraft or whatever. It would just support what I have written here, you are "high-fed" and expect impossible things.
LFG broken? no.. LFG doesn't exist -.-

You must be joking???? Another flawed post...

This is a game depending on a large number of players coming together doing things together.
MMO = Massive Multiplayer Online.
This is not a solo game, I will not pay for a solo game every month, then I can play better ones such as Dead Space 2 etc
