The silent majority on your ALERT: sarcasm "ghost server" /sarcasm doesn't want a server merge, they're too busy NOT sitting around on the fleet twiddling their thumbs and spamming. I have 3 Republic 50s on a decidedly Imp-heavy server that hovers between Light/Standard, and I have a Sith on The Fatman I've toyed with off and on for 3 months (he's on Voss). I've seen both "sides" of the coin. Why isn't the Sith 50 after 3 months? Because I'm not sitting in an "effing" queue, for one thing. The fleet lags there. General chat there is an abomination, and I'm not talking about just the fleet. He's Sith, after all, they're the bad guys. I'm too busy playing on my "ghost server" Republic characters. Server merge? NO. Not needed. Quit crying. Paid server transfers? I don't have a problem with this at all! I'll not begrudge someone from joining the "winning team" if they so desire, plus it generates a little extra revenue for Bioware. However, until they're available, a wise man in another thread offered these two options: 1) Reroll 2) Unsub I, along with most of the "silent majority", don't give a rat's rectum which option you choose; as long as it means one less whiner whining about one less thing on the forums, we win. Well put.

It has been stated in many interviews this week that character transfers are a very high priority for BW, they are currently working on transfers for the oceanic/Asia peeps which I think has a deadline of next week sometime, I would assume that as soon as that is done and everything is running smooth they will offer transfers to the rest of us, idk how they are going to structure it but my guess is it will be much like what rift offered but that's just a guess. As for "server merges" it's not going to happen.

As for "server merges" it's not going to happen. SWTOR has around 170 something servers..thats just WAY too many for this playerbase EVEN at launch. While some servers may not need to be touched in terms of server population changes ,however some of the servers where populations only peak at 10 people per planet and/or fleet...those servers need to be removed...and those playerbases moved to more populated servers.

For me its not a population thing, its a joining my friends thing. I have rerolled and started over on a lower populated server and its been great. I just flat out enjoy playing the game. I you can find a good guild, who help each other, and lvl together you population means nothing, unless you want to sell stuff. But I do agree there are way to many servers, but thats do to all the complaining at launch. I just started toon's I haven't started on other server and wait for the transfers to come later.

Server Transfers could NOT come soon enough. Plain and simple, if I can't transfer to a more highly populated server by the end my subscription, I WILL NOT be renewing it. I did NOT pay 15/month just to go grind a bunch of dailies, then only sit on the fleet for the rest of the day. This is seriously pathetic. There is virtually NO PvP on our server (had a total of 2 Full Warzones all week, yes, even during prime time hours, and one 30 second WZ) This is completely ridiculous. You can pretty much never get anything done, almost no PUGS for Ops or Fps. It is extremely horrible. Plain and simple...No transfers or merges, no subscription. I will give my 15/month to something else.

I will give my 15/month to something else. Just about everyone i know on my server is the same way. We are paying 15$ a month for a single player game? Screw that then. My sub ends today in a few hours and i am not renewing because my dead server. If Bioware can at least give us a ETA rather than soon i might resub but with D3 coming next month followed by GW2 i doubt i would come back now. Bioware is to blame only, how can they not have prepared for this? The only people who are defending this game are the people that play on one of the 5 high pop servers they dont know whats it like to have a empty GTN, 30mins to a hour long queues, 2 hours to find a HM FP party, able to level up with out doing any Heroic or FP.

I do agree with u some what. They need to hurry up and implement sever transfers or merge servers or this game will ultimately die before they can even get 1.3 out probably. I mean i was on a pretty decent server where there was a standard population that wasn't bad but in the past 2 weeks about half left to go do something else or play on a different server and i do not want to reroll again.

They have time to make all these updates that i don't even really notice a difference with but they can't just simply add transfers i mean they where able to allow asia pacific players to transfer to those servers so that means they can do it and basically have it set up they are just being ignorant and not putting it in for the rest of us.

Time is against Bioware in this one, I invested months of my life and money in my characters I will not create new characters for a long time, so if Bioware doesn�t allow server transfers fast I will definitely unsubscribe.

My server: 3 guys in the starting planet (hutta) A very heavy EU server everyone is in: 46 players in the starting planet (hutta) Server merges or controlled character transfers needed.
