I really liked the 'public quests' in WAR and Rift, it made ppl play together more naturally. BW should look into it, ofc. after dealing with the population issue.

It's that simple. No what will happen is that people will simply stop leveling, if people are forced to be in groups all the time and not just for heroic missions or when they feel like it there will be mass trolling and mass exodus of people from the game. But please show me any mmo that has forced people to be grouped all the time and survived or even been developed and released. And i aint talking about heroic quests im talking about the game in its entirety.

Didn't Daniel Erikson say in a recent interview that they just doubled the population cap of servers? That would certainly help out with the queue time problem. To the OP, server pop status in the selection are misleading. "Standard" can be very high or very low. My server is often labeled as "standard" even though we're lucky to break 20 PEOPLE on fleet (on primetime). So at least try more populated server before uninstalling.

Let me ask you another question since so many people bash me for supposedly choosing the wrong server. I actually did some research before just choosing a server and I read all the fatman threads and multiple others in an effort to find one that was in the medium pop range. I was scared of rolling on a server with long ques as when my vacation is over I only get 1-2 hours a day to play. Right now I'm playing 8+ hours but that's because I took some time off work and still have several days of vacation left. For people that can only play 1-2 hours a day a 40+ minute que would kill us. I thought I had chosen well and maybe the game does as many of you suggest start at level 50. In response to that I say how are you going to keep other new players like myself interested long enough to reach that goal? I could live with the fact that I can't find anyone to group with but not even seeing people talking or using chat is disheartening in itself. In most games I've played I often am entertained by the colorful chat of others while I'm out questing but it's not so in this game or at least on my server. People tell me to reroll on this ir that server but honestly I already put 20 hours into my toon and that is a lot for me to dedicate to one thing as my time in real life is precious so I can't afford to just waste 20+ hours. I am low enough level that I am considering it but at the same time I don't understand why I'm being punished for just buying a game and playing it like any normal person. Most people don't research servers before choosing and I thin they just look at the list that is given at the time and choose PvE, PvP, or RP, depending on their playstyle. It does list which servers are hevay or light and which ones are medium. i chose medium but honestly if this is medium I'd hate to see lightly populated.

And i aint talking about heroic quests im talking about the game in its entirety. Every game that came before WoW was heavily group-centered. Everquest being the most notable and probably the most group-centric. Also, by far the most profitable game till WoW. Every game that has come after WoW has been a solo game wrapped in MMO clothing. Most have been massive failures. None but WoW have ever matched EQ's numbers or longevity. I'm not saying there isn't a place for the 'solo' WoW-esque MMO, but there's more than enough room for true multiplayer ones as well.

Maybe a year from now this game might be ready and Bioware will have a plan for it. But right now they implement untested features, remove those features, give some worthless item to say "Im sorry you wasted your time doing this", rinse, and repeat. They will run out of people to piss off by Summer and maybe there will be some server mergers where those who enjoy getting kicked in the teeth can congregate. My account runs out in a week and I won't be renewing =( no you can't have my stuff, its been deleted.

Why haven't you guys laughed this dude off the internet yet? He bought the game 2 days ago and immediately ran to the forums to complain before he even saw 1/1000th of the game. This is a troll post and he even told you it was before he posted. P.S. roll on Veela
