U.S. seems to be pushed to the back burner while foreign countries are priority.

Your so right my man, not only did you make this thread, but nailed it right on the head because the fact remains that the developers have nothing to do with the expansion in European markets. Not only is this handled by a team in Europe, it's handled by an IT team. And i absolutely agree with you about the decline in server drop, i mean update 1.2 only brought my server up to a meager 200 at peak times, and i mean really, the content they added. I can't do anything with the new missions, ops, or planet missions. Oh and the new armor sets... Pthhhh... please don't get me started. I can't wait for wow to come out with MoP so you can finally be happy playing a real MMO with panda bears. Enjoy

The developers failed to release promised content making the server population dive even farther down. Instead of appearing to work harder,faster to get the content out they are just working on pulling in more money from the rest of the world. Is it worth paying $15 a month with broken/missing content in a single player game?

What on earth are you blathering about?

the only substantial thing non us players have received that we haven't is server transfers. It's hard to complain about that one, although us servers do have population issues, we unlike those other countries can play on servers in our local region those in australia had to roll on us servers. we can play in our own time zones, for them to do that would mean playing on asian servers (language barrier).

More money is to be made outside the U.S. So, pay 25$ per month or be in the same boat as us lowly foreigners.

The bugs are equal everywhere, what the hell are you talking about? Your post is really meaningless. All the servers are in the same boat, and as your countrymate said before, you get better maintenance timetable, better events accessibility and so on.

It's no different in the EU, we have many dead servers. You think this is a problem only with the US? Wrong!

Also i deeply dislike your xenophobic use of the phrase "foreign" to describe all non-US servers, were not "foreign" we have our own servers in our own continents. We are no lesser customers than any American subscriber yet we are treated as second class citizens by Bioware quite often. US gets almost all priorities when it comes to patching and downtimes. Often they do this smack in the middle of primetime in other time zones.

To coin an American phrase "Swing and a miss!"

If half the us servers are baron wastelands, why would they focus all their attention on the us? And assuming what you say is true, then can we get downtimes changed please, because quite clearly, there are hardly any us players playing anymore.
PROPER SPACE COMBAT PLEASE

Just to clarify the server transfers were extremely limited and only for players in timezones where new servers were finally set up for the first time some months after release.

Oh my, the EU servers are even worse and it feels like 90% are deserted and 10% are standard to occasionally heavy. IŽd be happy if BW would focus more on the EU servers but this is not the case, although the EUR cash is very welcome to them.
