I wish people just face the fact that the servers are fine and so is the game.
That's why I'm on my third server and the guild I'm now in has also just moved from another server...

This game is not doing well, they are lucky so many of us took on 3 or 6 month subs or the sub numbers would be really bad. I want to see what the sub numbers are after April, less than 900k would be my guess, that would mean that the majority of people who bought the game left before 4 months of playing.

interview with James Ohlen on Darth Hater.


DH: Is there any discussion of merging servers or adding incentives to move players to low pop servers?

JO: No, we’re not going to. Merging servers is not something we are looking at. We have a very healthy game right now, so that is not something we are looking at in the near future. We're always going to look at ways to make sure a server is healthy. There are a whole bunch of different ways you can do that. We're discussing them. We want to make sure players feel like there are enough players on their server to play with.


The rest of the interview.

Yeah, very healthy game right now with 5% of servers full and rest completely dead.

Good luck with the game then.

Faction balance - failed.
World PvP / Ilum - failed (see guild summit notes).
Server population - failed.
Bugs in the game people have waited on to be addressed - failed (warzone start/abort/cycle?)

List goes on and on and on. LFG tool isn't going to fix faction balance let alone empty servers. The whole social aspect of the game is gone when one plays on empty servers. To those who say the game is healthy - please re-roll to any of the servers people say have less than 30 in the fleet or 5 on a planet. It isn't healthy and it isn't fun.

People will be doing one of two things.

A. Cancel
B. Re-roll

Those who don't want to re-roll to another server will leave. Those who are tired of the game for any other reason, will leave. Those who enjoy the game and willing to give it another go will either stick it out on their server and wait for BioWare, or move to another server.

Note this though - it is easier to either go back to where you came from in another MMO when you have a established character or start a new game. D3 and GW2 are around the corner. There are two other big titled not associated with EA due out in the later part of the year.

dont forget they pulled ranked warzones out of the patch and waited to tell people till 6 hours prior to the install of the patch.

I bet this will help the server populations!

Yep. If GW2 comes anywhere close to having a dynamic world, and the server vs server vs server warzones are as cool as they sound, you might as well kiss goodbye to anybody who dislikes the monotonous and static ghost town SWTOR offers.

Need server transfers and xserver queues for pvp and FPs or many players will just quit the game instead of rerolling again. Xserver queues by themselves might fix things though they really should have been in since launch to handle things like this happening, "community" whines be damned.

Thats disgusting, how can they be so out of touch when they can see the numbers? Or are they hoping to somehow attract a massive flood of people to fill up all the medium to low pop servers (most servers)? The server I am on has lost 45% of its population since release, do you really consider that "healthy"? For reference I am on Mandalore the Indomidable, and we had 180+ on fleet during peak hours, now we hit 100 if we are lucky.

I was one of those who grabbed a 6 month sub thinking it would be worth it, and honestly after its up I really dont think I will renew, not for a good couple months atleast. I mean hell if it takes 4 months for ANY new content, I could take most of a year off and only come back to mediocre amounts of new content. It takes 4 months to come up with 1 new OP and 1 new Flashpoint, and extremely minor pvp changes? REALLY?

Meh, we will see I guess. But they have certainly disillusioned me. After I finish the storylines of each class (done all 4 of the imp's, all thats left is repub), I honestly dont see any point to staying subscribed. Maybe I will respub every 6 months or something.

Quite simply put to make this as succinct as possible:

Low server populations will result in more people quitting the game than any other currently available variable. Server mergers, cross server warzones or some way of repopulating servers have to be the number 1, biggest priority for SWTOR at this time.
