IMO they should open up server transfers to the lowest pop servers (Lowest 25%) while also locking out the top 25% servers from being transferred to... you could do this by faction in fact aka if a server is light on PUBS they're open for PUB transfer but if heay on IMP it's not eligible etc. (Guys in the middle.. you stick it out because you ain't got it so bad and it'll get better after this!)

That way you control the flow a bit... then at the end of the day just merge the servers that get ghosted minimizing impact to the player base for better & worse while also not creating que times that aren't needed.

Yea, they'll merge or close servers eventually. But only after they milk a paid transfer system for all they can get.
Didn't say it did, dear. People come to these threads for information as well as discussion and debate. Those who do not frequently read Stephen Reid's Twitter account may not have known that it was being discussed. I am simply providing info.
Evil is a word used by the ignorant and the weak. The dark side is about survival. It's about unleashing your inner power. It glorifies the strength of the individual.

Thing is that is a threat that really doesn't hold much weight; there has been a lot of: "OMG mass exodus!!" misinformation but the reality is most people are sticking with TOR at least for now, so you will be in the minority.

What these people keep missing is that server capacity was freaking doubled so what was reading as a full server back then would be reading as a light server now. The only mistake BioWare made was making the status visible in the first place.

Why would people on the high population servers transfer to a low server when queue times on even the highest pop servers are rare, and short when they do occur?

All what you suggest would do is consolidate the bulk of low pop server players onto just a few of those servers, leaving the rest far worse off than they are currently.

In my opinion there are issues with the game as it is currently which makes even the most populated servers FEEL empty, server transfers will do nothing to fix them.

Visit this site its been tracking population via Light / Heavy etc etc. btw, James the Game Director seems to be living in denial thinking that the population on all servers is A OKAY, I think there is a way we can get a message to him. Stage an ingame protest where we all make chars on one server at the same time haha.
