People need to remember that STANDARD population is where a server should be and looking at the Euro servers right now, the vast majority are either at STANDARD or higher....

That is not a population problem, that is where the population should be...

I've been on my server since day one and the reason I can't play is because of the invasion of muppets who decided it was a good idea to re-roll on the most populated server.
Yes this has been especially apparent on Fatman but that again is a result of having to many servers and no server xfer feature. Let's say instead of 100 servers you had like 20 and an xfer feature. Well if you condensed it down and Fatman was still "full" with a que, new players or players looking to transfer could join "heavy" or "very heavy" servers which are more frequent in a condensed server environment.

Except when IMPs out number pubs 3 to 1 you end up with a ****** PUB experience on standard servers.

Needs to be balanced with appropriate mergers...

EU have 3 servers with good pop. One PvE, one PvP and one RP server. The rest are dying.

Seriously, I am getting so tired of repeating myself.

Standard doesn't mean jack. Zero. Squat. Nada. Zilch.

~350 players on a server, total (thats right kiddies, 350 when you add up both sides) is all that is required for a "standard" ranking.

1.2 brought some more people back. Hooray. Overall server pop still only climbed a bit higher.
Meanwhile, in Tera general chat -

"The sad thing is, arguing with fanbois on the forums was more entertaining than their 300 million dollar single player MMO from 2008"

I agree. They can set any level they want and label it "standard". I have been on planets with 15 people and the server is "standard." This is a problem (other than for the soloing pve heroes). You cant get a 4 man, and there is zero owpvp. When you get to 40 or so per planet, it is less of a problem, and server mergers are needed to mitigate this problem. So please dont respond with something along the lines "there is no population problem because last night 60% of the servers were "standard".

oh, and you never was on any mmo server ever,
where you had only 15 or less people in your area ... ?

honestly, this is the reality of almost every MMO
and usaly they only have maximun of 20 servers
for the whole world ...

even if the servers are full, planets can still be
empty ... and even if the planet has 200 players
on 2 instances, you still can run around for a long
time seeing only a few people ...
