And they introduce the Legacy System which only works for your characters on one server. It's ***-backwards.



This would be really nice

Agreed. I made a subsequent post along those lines.

A: Deal with it
B: Quit
C: Cry on the forums

Those are you options. Choose wisely

I pick C. cry for 40min until i can get in the game.

its everyones problem. and i half agree with your legacy comment. i have 6 50's now. and only 2 of them i play with becuase 4 are on dead servers. that extra legacy would be nice. its not the peoples fault who picked a server that ended up dead. its unlucky for you and them. you dont want to wait 40 min(nor do they) and they dont want to be soling dailes because the npc's are they only ones there to play with.

I would be less annoyed about the queue times if I didn't dc within half an hour of getting in. 45 minute wait, log in, one warzone, DC. 45 minute wait, log in, half a warzone, DC in warzone. Halfway through my third queue of the day.


This is pretty much a daily occurrence, and it's incredibly frustrating. I'd happily abandoned my sent, go somewhere else, replay the sith warrior story (specifically act 1) for the fifth time... if there was another high pop server. I'd consider playing an mmo on a medium pop. Definitely not a low pop. My previous server started hemorrhaging players around level 40. Finished leveling and unsubbed for two months. Came back, this was the only high pop server, so I started leveling my level 5 Jedi I made after looking for a group for days for any 40+ FP or HM. And I was a tank.

I'm not interested in looking for a group for hours. Or sitting in a PVP queue for even longer. Definitely not these 4v8 and 6v8 games I'm hearing about. Until they implement cross server battle grounds and LFG tools, everyone is just going to keep pouring in.

The only real way to solve this immediately IMO is to offer free server transfers, but only to a handful of servers. Let the people that aren't sweating the low pops stay, and let everyone else move, for free, to another server. Maybe one PVE, one PVP, and one RP server. Three might even be too many. Long term, they need to collapse at least 50% of the servers and move everyone elsewhere.

This game would do exponentially better if Bioware would realize that 15 medium pop servers is far superior to one full server and 99 dead ones. They're at the point now where people are rerolling from Europe to play on Fatman, because it's basically the biggest in the world. To refugees, this means it'll be around longer. To the people already here, it's incredibly frustrating.

Sorry for the wall of text, just my two cents... Soon to be my $15/mo back in my pocket.

They should just close the server and let the second and third heaviest server start to take in new players. The only servers I can think of are swiftsure and harbringer.
