When will there be a SERVER MERGE?

I believe they mentioned that you can change your character name in a transfer, even if it doesn't violate the TOS. (This was for the APAC servers). Also, I presume that name changes will be standard with character transfers. In other games I know of, it was handled that way.

Also, what's been done before is, when two servers are merged, people start out with "name <original server>", then go to a NPC to "claim" their name, therefore removing the <server> behind it and prompting the ptjer person with their same name to change it. This "early bird gets the worm" approach may not be perfect, but it's a lot fairer than giving one server population a priority of naming over the other. And who knows, maybe they will do something like giving the account with the highest legacy naming priority too. Again, not a perfect system though, but still much preferable to being in a dead server...

With transfers, it's true people have a little more control but what happens if people just end up playing musical servers? The number of people that join a server is equal to the number of people that leave it. Also if deadish servers do end up dead well then they will be shut down anyway.

Just merge servers, endure the QQing that will happen but within time people will be happy that they acutally can play with other people.

Merging of low pop servers is needed. Transfer is ok too. The game is almost unplayable max 20 ppl in Rep Fleet and 1 max 2 WZ that is on in prime time. Planets are dead. I counted ppl zone by zone it is hardly 100 ppl in all zones on Rep Side.
Server: Trayus Academy.

Im both with you & startled that there is another player on "tubleweed academy" (OK slight overkill). Selling gray items on teh GTN is becoming increasingly hard these days! (again slightly underegging by around 20 characters & colour of gray items) being the only character on most planets with my Nub is starting to give me a god complext too (this parts true).

Loving the pvp (Even being Target dummy), loving the game, not got enough credits to be a "gtn hermitt" so please give more than avarage 20 peer's to play with.

The Jekk'Jekk Tar has been home to many Oceanic players who are transferring; I understand Harbinger is the same, maybe even more. It would be very nice to merge those servers for those of us who remain, because server pops are depressingly low.

Thank you,

they can fix the name issue by allowing surnames, separated by a period. LIke they do in Tera.
They could allow more people per planet by using channels. like they do in Tera.
But they dont know how to run an MMO. It's too bad. Good story lines, good graphics, good gameplay.
Bad management...

As long as people have the option of changing their toons name, including legacy, then name issues are a non-factor.

We did this with SWG and worked great. Game thrived until the end after the transfers / merges.

i dont care about names, whats the problem with people arguing pages over pages for that
we want to feel that we play an MMO, not everyone is playing on fatman or tofd
you can change my chars name to all random what so ever i dont care and give me a better server.... it is not cool when 20 people on republic fleet with 1 lvl 50 wz running at peak hours

Names dont matter i dont care if i have to name my self fuzzy bunny aslong as we all can enjoy the game.

you can rename all my characters Bob1, Bob2, Bob3, for all I care as long as I can play with other people.

In other MMOs they allow you to keep your name but add a suffix denoting the server you came from.

Such as BobKC for Bob from Kass City.
