Yes. On Colonel Tobin, the most I have ever seen on fleet, was 36.

I have crafting maxed on two characters, cybertech and artifice, and LOVE to pvp.

I pvp'd my way mostly to 50 on the artificer, have valor rank 47 as I hit 50, and have played about 6 warzones since hitting 50 nearly a month ago.

I get home from work, shower up and smoke, then sit down and queue. Stay queued all night waiting on a game, ask in general on the fleet or /whisper 50s I have ran heroics or pvp'd with in the past to queue up, which I'd like to think resulted in 3 of the wzs I've played in.

I got a dota 2 invite and play that now.

I have been meaning to ask customer service about switching servers. My guild is pretty cool, but I don't know them very well, so not a HUGE loss...I made a marauder on a heavy pop server, but can't stand to play it...bout halfway through level 2 and I cannot stop thinking about the level 400 artificer with nearly full BM gear, just sitting there wasting away...

LAME!

I nearly consider paying for a server change but I'd rather play dota 2 since it's free, and less hassle.

Thoughts on my situation? Agreement? Shouldn't have gotten so far into my legacy on the low pop server? Maybe it's all college kids on, and it's popular during the day, I don't know.

Oh well. Queueing up for some more dota tonight :[

This is simply false and it is statements like this that damage the credibility of the "servers are dying" camp. Right now it is prime time in Europe and the majority of servers are Standard or better. Go look at the server list yourself if you don't believe me.

I am confident in predicting that tonight at U.S. prime time you will also find that the majority of servers are Standard.

I had the misfortune of rolling on Nathema. Right now there are only 11 in fleet Emp and 3 in Republic fleet.

I had to re-roll.

On my new server 53 Republic and 50 Emp fleet. Not too bad for 2:20 EST.

A "dead" server is somewhat subjective depending on the individual. If you equate dead to low population servers, then sure.

I wouldn't consider my server dead, but I do consider it low population and it is killing me lol... (Usually around 50-70 on the fleet at prime time)

Before instancing there had to be an absolute on the number of players on a server. Too many players and you simply could not access content. It would be nice to see this game support larger online server population. Have 10 "instances" of the fleet or whatever to reduce player draw in lag or something like that. They do have it in other games.

Its not a false statement at all... look at the US servers at 7pm CST and I guarantee you'll see 90% of the servers are "light" which is very sad.

Bioware needs to manage this and merge servers from 50 to 20... (using hypothetical numbers)

Not being able to get your daily pvp quests done because there is one premade on the other faction that wins every warzone sure is fun. When you only have 1 match going at a time I'd say a server is dead and if they dont do something soon I imagine a ton of people will cancel their subs

I was responding specifically to the statment "log in around 7pm and youll see more light servers than anything". If the point of the "Servers are Dying" camp is that the population on Standard servers is not sufficient to support grouping, why make up statements along the lines of "the majority of servers are Light"? All it does is damage your credibility.

Not to worry.. once they get the transfers going we'll be back to whinging about the queues again
