They keep saying its in development with no ETA.. Well thats because they already have it. They just choose to let the new kids use it and not let everyone.

Are they even able to change a legacy name (if you transfer and it's unavailable)? Because I thought that it was hard-coded in or some crap... which is what they told me when I asked if this would be available soon.

So if they can do those asia pacific transfers can't they rig up some system for the rest to transfer servers even if they have to designate which, then just give us transfers where we pick the destination later?

Im on Drooga's Pleasure Barge...
Population has dropped considerably since launch. At any time there are about 30 players on the fleet.
PLEASE PERFORM A SERVER MERGE!!
Just cut the number of servers in half

I have a 50 lvl player on Chuunda whos population is light all the time! The w8ing time for a WZ is about 30 min in solo ,with pre-maid party it gets worst!!!And this in rush hours. In Fleet there are about 20-25 people in rush hours! We dont even bother to log into game on morning hours! We are just alone 1 person in the hole fleet! We chose this server because it was recomended from developers during the game start to avoid overpopulated servers and queues. That was our mistake! Now one by one the guild members are leaving the Game! We were hoping on 1.2 to fix these MAJOR problems instead of legacy! Legacy is somewhat good but extra. This game althoough it has much potential it is left untreated!
One advise :
Please fix the server population, possible solutions are Server Merg, Server transfer, Cross Server wz's. And please make it as fast as possible! It has no meaning paying subscription to play an MMORPG alone! Its not an MMORPG then. Our guild members will get lost or return to their old games as people cant w8 for another big patch who can come in about 3 months again!
With regards
A Starwars fan!

I made a char on The Tomb of ... and i was in the first zone and i see like 70 people on in that zone alone. And somehow i wanted to keep on playing. But then I reminded myself i have a lvl 50 on Tassaa Bareesh with so much playtime invested i cannot leave him behind, but logging in on that server and seeing about +- 100 people on republic side server wide is a huge letdown. I just do the raids with guild and log of. Getting more and more pissed off that BW hasn't commented yet in an official way about this issue.

I advice everyone to make a newchar on the already full servers so queu's will be so long that everyone will start complaining and BW will have no choice then to act accordingly and give everyone free server transfers or server merges.

While i feel transfers might be nice, it doesn't solve the real issue. People are leaving standard pop server for high or very high.

If you start merging standard servers to other standard servers then you start to have queues to log in. If you start offering free transfers standard servers become light because people want 200+ on every planet.

No matter how you look at it there will always be people who are not happy, if you dont like your server reroll to a higher pop one. If you like your server than this clearly isn't directed at you.

It's hard to re-roll when you have a 50, several mid-30s, and multiple 20s. Not even paid server xfers available. All those useless credits and tradeskills. But more importantly the time involved and connection to your toons.

Harbinger, even with it's high population, still has the same issues as the dead servers. After 25 no one wants to do anything other than solo quests. There is no reason to. Nothing special or exciting for completing the FPs. No achievements. Regular quests give comms so why do the heroics? Looked all day thu, fri, sat for foundry and never even got half a group together. And now every moron and retard on the server is standing at the port-in point on fleet causing lag and infecting everyone coming in. I personally don't want a damn thing to do with the rakghoul plague. How about working on making multi-player content that people actually feel they NEED to do. Make comms ONLY drop from heroic quests and areas. Something. Right now this is a single player game, not an MMO.

Why pay a sub to play alone?

Give away all the free game time you want, doesn't change the fact that this game lacks all the elements that make an MMO an MMO. It's massive and online but it just isn't multi-player. Haven't seen a heroic since pre-Alderaan and half way done with Hoth on my main on my new server. The 'populated' one. Now I have to re-equip 4 pieces of my companions gear every time I zone or re-summon. Behind the scenes nerfs have made me and my companions much less effective than they already were, and Kaliyo was already bad as a tank.

It's really whatever at this point. Bioware may lead the industry with it's single player games, but they just have no clue where to even start with MMOs. (I say this, yet ME3 and DA2 were both enormous disappointments.) I think it all comes back to the human equation, though. Most people want instant gratification and to be handed everything. If they die to anything, mob or boss, it's all "it's too hard!!!!!! *sniff*." 6 or 7 years ago these same people were not even considered part of the gaming community. One more thing to thank Blizzard and the common idiot for.
I soo agree with this person. All Bioware has done was create a Massive Online Single Player Game its the impression that I've got.


Funily enough, I came across this earlier today:
http://www.play.tm/news/32131/star-w...y-ea-employee/

http://www.starwarsmmolevelingguide....llion-failure/

Funily enough whoever this employee was, took the words out of my mouth and made spill my drink:

"Theyve spent more money making the Old Republic than James Cameron spent on Avatar. S**t you not. More than 300 million USD! Can you believe that? And you know what theyre most proud of? This is the kicker. They are most proud of the sound. No seriously. Something like a 20Gig installation, and most of it is voiceover work. Thats the best they have.

I hope they provide some actual content soon, not just this ... fail fluff.


If you are going to give me fluff, at least make an effort.

I am playing Empire on Hex Droid and I can't say I enjoy my stay there any more. Too bunch into other players while questing is a rare event. This is a MMO, isn't it? MASSIVE multiplayer online game. Not on Hex Droid.

I like SWTOR, I really do, when I can enjoy the game with others because I believe that's the purpose of the game. If I want a thrilling singleplayer experience I'd choose another game on the spot. It's sad, because I do want to enjoy this game but I feel that I can't if I'm not able to quest with other players. Do I really have to give up on this game for this reason?

If you don't enjoy the story, I don't think it matters what BioWare does for you, you will not enjoy this game.
