When will there be a SERVER MERGE?

Age of Conan did server merging. Players with highest levels kept their names, lower levels chose another. no big deal. I doubt player names are the issue here. It`s probably the PR problem.

To those, who are attacking about whining. Have you even played the game recently? It`s empty. Theoretically people are there, they just not online when needed. You cannot do Heroics, PvPs or Flashpoints because there`s not enough ppl in an instance, which is huge part of the game. You have to play the game as single player and hope for Heroics +2, not to mention +4.

You cannot sell the game to ppl as MMO ir there`s 20 ppl to play with. that`s not a MMO, that`s just simple multiplayer. Whatever the issue, they will lose a lot of subscribers not because of the content or other crap, but because of lack of players to play with. And a manual character transfers is the best they can come up with?

enough people... ****

they know

nothing you say, however important you might think your ideas are, is adding anything to this conversation

the horse has been beaten beyond death... the ground has now had the body pulverized and indistinguishable from the red clay around it

I think the reason why Bioware is not merging the servers is due to arrogance and overconfidence and denial. I realize it might be a technical challenge as well but the server populations are negatively impacting the game. Many options are available to improve this.

This issue needs to be addressed immediately. I refuse to sit at the imperial fleet staring blankly at a screen trying to enter a warzone. I don't have open world pvp.. I have nothing. Now I just get to sit and wait and stare at my screen hoping a warzone pops with a well balanced match, which almost never happens.

Please do something before its too late.

Someone posted my favorite video of the year to youtube. It sums up my feelings on 1.2 and pvp perfectly.

Of course it is...

Maybe not in the overly-dramatic way you are trying to represent it, but the only way the server becomes less populated is if people (the CUSTOMERS) stop playing on it. It's the same game on every server (not counting PVP aspect), so you can't really blame BIOWARE for the low population on YOUR server. You just happened to roll on a server that a large population has either left the game or gone on to other servers. It happens, adapt and move on...

Bioware will try to make the customers happy, but sometimes, you have to do it yourself. If you like the game enough to stay, then either come to terms with the low population, reroll on a more populated server, or transfer when the option becomes available. If you want to just sit here and try to insult or guilt Bioware into doing what you want, go for it, but it doesn't solve your problem.

And for those who are complaining that you spent real money to build up the 8 50's you have on your server, you obviously like the game. Play it again somewhere that will make you happier. if the game dies or you quit playing, you don't get to take the characters or gear with you, so whether or not you paid money to create them is a moot point.

All I'm saying is there are solutions to your problems, maybe not the solutions you want (at present), but take some control and either go to another game that will make you happier, or start over on another server until you can transfer your favorites over. Stop throwing yourselves on the floor in a ball and whimpering about people not playing with you.

I bet you paid transfers are going to make more people unsub. They are unlucky to be on a server that everyone left its bioware's fault that people have been leaving. Free transfers, or people will unsub. This game has way too many flaws right now to be even worth paying more money.

Ok I know I may be a new Sith, but after only playing for one week, I have come to a decision, THERE ARE WAY TO MANY SERVERS!!!!!
Almost every server has a light load, meaning that there are more often than not very few people to actually party with if you want to do anything.
We need less servers so that the population is more balanced, feel how you want about this but when I play an MMO I want to party with others and actually have a social experience, so let's let Bioware know that we need to consolidate the servers and actually have some fun running flashpoints.

This guy is so misinformed it's unbelievable.

probably shortly after the game goes FTP at this rate. i will be quitting if they dont fix the population issue by the end of may

If I'm coming across a little agressive, I don't mean to. I just get fed up with people being as NASTY as possible to the devs. It's not constructive and only shows how crappy people turn out to be when they are behind the anonymous safety of a monitor.

Yes I have played recently. I have 6 characters on a low population server. i hate the fact that it's hard to play with them because nobody is ever on, but it's nobody's fault, except the people who left. My server was half Australian and there was a 16 hour difference between them and their American friends, so it was difficult to play together. Once they had their own servers, they left and our server was low population. I can't do anyting about that.

I'm eager for server transfers and am waiting patiently. It will happen. In the meantime, I'm taking my game enjoyment into my own hands and decided to re-roll characters on a higher populated server so I can enjoy the game and have people to play with. Staying on a low-populated server because you have characters you've invested in doesn't solve your problem. If the only acceptable solution to you is waiting in solitude until servers merge or character transfers are enabled, then sit back and wait. That's YOUR choice and there are consequences to your choices.
Here's the drama that I can't stand. There are more than 20 people to play with. You just have to go where they are. If low population is your issue, then move to a populated server - problem solved. Your ACTUAL problem (I'm assuming) is you have characters you've invested in that you don't want to leave behind. They are working on it. You aren't going to get your results "right now". You aren't going to get regular updates of how close they are to rolling it out until they want to release that information. This particular aspect, you are not in control of. Focus on what you CAN control and go from there.
