Server population is dropping...

It's from the last few days.

Reroll to Dragon Trail.

There are not 200 on let alone 33 in the republic fleet during prime time.

Again, see what I wrote earlier. Those that are on populated servers see the world through rose colored glasses. Those who post otherwise call it like they see it.

The thread won't die because people are expressing their opinion and concerns. Just because they don't agree with you doesn't make them a troll.

Furthermore, we are also saying it is faction issue as well.

Right now on Dragon Trail @ 8:33 PST
Republic Fleet - 29 people
West Coast Server

Right now on The Fatman @ 8:34 PST
Imperial Fleet - 280+
East Coast Server

One is in the middle of prime time, the other is ending. You mean to sit behind your keyboard and say those playing on Dragon Trail, showing standard oddly enough right now, are having a similar experience playing as those on Fatman?

Pass me whatever you are drinking man because it isn't even close. General chat is moving about a line every 4 to 5 minutes. On Fatman it is moving lines per second in general chat. Furthermore, starting zones on Fatman are about the same in population. Dragon Trail - forget it. 1 maybe 3 at best.

Yeah - you guys/gals are right. Everyone who is posting about population issues and requesting server merging are nothing more than trolls. You want some screen shots?

You realize your name is attached to every post, right? It's a little redundant to sign everything.

That's nearly $300M per year in revenue, your math, check it.

I just want to transfer a couple toons... make the service available FFS

Yes and yes... but.

The thing is WoW was the first really really big MMO, they couldnt have expected what happened, they dealt with it as fast as possible probably. What concerns me is that there is a system out there for server transfers and all that in an old game. Why didnt BW make use of this knowledge and prepare for the worst?

They saw it happen in Warhammer, they saw it happen with Aion, they saw it happen with Conan, they saw it happen with Rift. Well pretty much any MMO after WoW. Why did they not have a mechanic in place for such an event? Its common sense, should be part of the development of the game. One team should be put to work on such possible issues, because it saves them time and subs if it does occur.

So to be fair, there is nothing wrong with my timeframe, because it should have been there at release as a safety catch.

I'm going to support this game and stick with it, because the PvP is just so damn fun. I would however like a good working solution to population aswell as LFG optimization in this game.

WoW has many good things to take into account, many solutions to flawed things. Does it make it a great game? It was, but not anymore. However they paved the way for many new games, spawned ideas etc. Why havent those ideas been put into plans by companies like BW?

Well you do bring up some good points. I think EA is mainly to blame for rushing the release. The transfer system should've at least been in the finishing stages after the first month I'm really hoping they didn't just start working on the transfer system recently.

We'll find out soon how the transfer system works. Oceanic will get theirs in the next few weeks.

I thought it was ridiculous to wait 2 months to allow Oceanic server transfers and I'm not even one of them.

11 people online TOTAL on my server. Seriously in all seriousness, no I mean it's REALLY serious now! Why should anyone give you any money ever again. I've never felt this robbed by a game (started gaming in 1986), it's even making me really depressed.

11 people, one lvl50. It's an MMO. Let's say that again. It's an MMORPG. Massively Multiplayer Online.

Eleven!

1011!

B!

Not even if everyone participated could we get a warzone going. How is this not a priority one, stay up all night, work over the weekend problem. If you log in to an MMORPG and there's 11 (**** me people ELEVEN, this isn't sensationalist, it's ludicrous)people online, would you as a gamer ever log into that game again. There's no guilds to join, there's no flashpoints you can do, no operations, no warzones, no Illum, no GTN, no social points, I am Legend?


And like I've said many times before. Me personally have infinite time to waste, it's the one thing I do have. Not a single other person I know about or know personally have that privilege, if my friends even manage 10 hours a month in a game that's A LOT of time to spend on just one little game.

The least that game can do, when you've not only payed for it but have to KEEP PAYING FOR IT, is to above all else, make sure those 10 hours can be spent on at least one advertised activity in the game. If it can't even manage that, what the **** was the point in ever making the damn thing?

This isn't something that can wait. That can be addressed on Biowares "time-table". To not have the prudence of releasing an MMO with free and instant server transfers after over 15 years of MMO launches is bordering the mentally ill. This isn't a slight on the devs or mentally ill people but on human nature in general but wake the frak up.

From DAY ONE there's ALWAYS need for free transfers no matter how "smart" a producer or a programmer believes he is. And every single day after that the need doesn't go away, it never will until a successful MMO with only one server and infinite instancing of zones is released.

I'd like this game to be around for a long time, but if I can't recommend it to people, who will be playing it?

103 members in my guild. 13 are retired and 24 are alts so it's really 66 members, but I have not seen anyone else logged on any of the times I've popped in. There's only 34 Imperials total online at the moment.
