I believe it should be limited to one server with the exception of maybe binding two server together for the purpose of heroics and flash points. I say this only for community building purposes. Two servers linked together would not be a terribly bad idea, but let us let the people vote. How does a sound argh! sorry!

I don't know, I'd like to be able to group with anyone in the SWTOR community, rather than just some random small slice of it. I don't see why Bioware would intentionally balkanize their community if there's any way to avoid it.

It appears that the new generation of MMO gamers don't know what the meaning of MMO is. This is not your x-box or ps3 where you can hit quick join button. MMO's are a world created for players to traverse on and adventure. Learn to get to know one another, make friends, which apprently is hard for some of you. Instancing is going to be the death of the MMO genre.

I can't say this is the only reason they shelled out 1 year subscription money (the decision which i will never understand), but if they are using the tool regularly, i would say it helps.
In that situation, you're both right. It most likely is helping, now that your guilds are dead. If BW needs to implement a tool that helps "a dead game" (There's still a lot of players, but let's face it WoW's on a very sharp decline) 6th months into their new game, theres a problem.

I'm wondering if you know the irony in your statement? You complain people don't know what the meaning of MMO is then go on to say we shouldn't be able to play with everyone in the game. Huh?

In order to nurture growth, you have to have a community to start with. So far, I've yet to see one nor any real reason to bother building one.

As with the above posts and what they bring I have only this to say. A single server lfg is welcome since it works basically like a chat and ignores can be done to compliment my disliking of those who abuse the system. However I am completely against cross server for reasons already stated. It ruins the community and thus the game. It is a MMO, meaning that you play with other people, and those same people play with you and that's who you will always play with as long as you remain on that server. Therefore knowing the community and being apart of it is a very important aspect of MMO's and I believe that cross server will take away that aspect.

For low population servers it is also my personal belief that server transfers or mergers are the best solution in the long run. Done correctly, servers will not over populate and the LFG tool will be more effective. So it is for this reason that I say cross server lfgs are not needed.

Communities are the essence of MMOs. Why else play a MMO if not to paly a game with other people that share a common interest. MMOs are a great way to meet new friends and create relationships all over the world. Through gaming and RL I have relations in Canada and all over the United States. Without a good gaming community I would never have these connections. Therefore, any actions done that risk disabling or destroying the community of a MMORPG should be considered a direct contradiction to what its all about.

I hope Bioware continues to make a quality game that everyone will enjoy playing and that allows the community to grow more and more. I look forward to what the future brings and anticipate a long relationship with SWTOR.

I would like a dungeon finder too.. I could do whatever I wanted while waiting rather than sit in the fleet for 2-3 hours with or without getting a group because I am DPS..


I haven't even seen ONE heroic mode because I cannot find a group once I hit 50. I love to do instances but am handcuffed because I am DPS.
