FYI I agree that some way to bring players together (server merge or character transfer) should have been ready for launch.

But it's worth pointing out that in the early access there were few servers with more added each day and the majority were full to the point of queuing. It's not as if they just randomly decided to have loads of servers.

I'm not an Aussie but i think it's BS that you even get the option before anyone else with the way servers are going Server transfers should be de facto at this point.

Really?

Aussies are beta testing the half-developed character transfer process for us.

Given the potential loss of character data I'm happy to let them do so.

I mean, for the life of me I can't see myself ever saying (back in the 80's), "Zelda sucks, they need to merge servers because I only see 1 person in Hyrule. Metroid is coming out soon, so all you Zelda fanbois can enjoy your fail game."

/sigh

I miss the old days of gaming ...
It's seems most of these people are incapable of liking more than one thing at a time. A year and a half ago they were all in WoW telling the players there how WoW sucked and Rift is better in beta. Six months ago they were telling Rift players how much better ToR was going to be. Today we get to hear about how GW2 cures cancer. In a couple of months they will be telling all the GW2 fans how much better The Secret World is and the cycle will continue.

I honestly think that the forum moderators (like you) should be working on the whole server transfer ordeal. Why? Because I see more feedback from you people moderating forums than any other aspect of this game. Don't get me wrong, I love SWTOR, but damn, I think you guys are putting way too many resources in places that really aren't necessary. I have never seen a game that moderates as fast and as hard as this one does.

Anyways, keep on gaming ladies and gentlemen, keep on gaming ...

The forum mods are busy trying to prevent their forums from turning into the WoW general forums, aka the cesspit of the internet. It's an uphill battle in the rain but they're trying hard.

As to the topic about transfers, I received the email informing me I was eligible for a realm transfer. I love hanging out with my guild mates so I'll be staying put.
