You reading the same thread I am? While the reasons vary and are all over the board, most in this thread appear to be saying they're quitting because their server never has a war zone pop and/or nobody is around to group with in OPS and FPs... and rerolling would be throwing everything away they've done for 4+ months.

Yeah, they can do their dailies they can solo, play alts, play space missions, but this is an MMO and people payed for an MMO which tells me they were more than likely expecting a lot of player interaction, grouping, and PVP.

That's exactly why people quit. People play this game to interact with other people, if there aren't any other people to interact with then why would you stay?

...err, what? How is it wrong to leave a game if you aren't having any fun?
Meanwhile, in Tera general chat -

"The sad thing is, arguing with fanbois on the forums was more entertaining than their 300 million dollar single player MMO from 2008"

Come on people... Server transfers hard? More like they haven't figured out how to tell you they are going to charge you.
Are you really that naive? They have to take into consideration that many people might have the same character name and even legacy name? Also, they don't want to have to split communities up...I hate the fact that my server is the second lowest population east coast PvP server. We literally have anywhere from 5-10 people in fleet at peak times, and even less than that during any time during the day. However, I love the people I play with and my guild. I would rather have them do something like what they did with the create a guild and move it into the game like they did for early access than lose the friends I've made, because people think it's just their way of earning money.

If you aren't having fun you find a game that you think is fun and play it instead. Nowhere did I say you had to stay and play a game you don't like.

If you're quitting because of peer pressure or because, for whatever reason, you have chosen not to help your situation, then good riddance. You can be patient and wait for transfers, or you can roll up a toon on one of the 70% of the other servers that have healthy pops. When people quit/move but you're still having fun, why would you quit?

Noone has said that. From a business perspective, all that matters is total subscription revenue. In fact, the ideal situation would be millions of subscriptions with no players playing. But obviously there is a link between the two and the developers have acknowledged that the number of concurrent players has declined since launch. This is why character transfer are in the works.

What people have said is in response to the people who claim that the game is dying, is that this is not the case, as evidenced, in part, by the steady subscription numbers. There is a difference.

That's their prerogative, even if it doesn't make much sense. But if it were me, I'd find a way to have fun (reroll) or just be patient. Quit if you have to until they bring transfers in. These are the only options you have. I'm also saying that it's silly to just up and quit because you're having fun, but suddenly have no one to play with.

But those numbers are smoke and mirrors, the fact is if cancellations worked like they should, It should stop imediately gives refund of remaining months time then you would see the game has under 700k subscribing and playing. The fact that companys get a away with this is wrong the entire consumerism market needs to change so that people can get refunds from subscriptions if cancel if have remaining months left. Why should a company be rewarded money for a product that doesnt even keep the person interested in logging in, they should be punished take a huge finanical drop from refunds,

Would be interesting if nature turned on EA for their focus on Mammon and the area the servers are located was hit by a earthquake and destroyed, making the company fall apart under it corrupted foundation which I wouldnt be suprised the devil has something to do with.
