If my server does not get merged within the next month. I will be cancelling my subscription. I know that many other people on my server feel the same (ULA VII) it is a shame that it has come to this but I spend most of my game time now sitting waiting on enough people to do anything.

I think the game is great. I mainly PVP and despite some imbalance overall I really enjoy playing. But Warzones run for perhaps 2 hours at most each day now. I would not like to be Bioware management explaining to my board that the game lost subscriptions because too many servers where running.

Running servers is not cheap. Doing so when it is the specific cause of loosing revenue is crazy. If servers cannot yet be merged due to technical difficulties then they should really dedicate more resources to this.

I don't like the idea of threatening to cancel my subscription but its come to the point where I am paying and the state of the game is actively preventing me from playing. I for one will not continue to pay so I can idle on the fleet for an hour or so each day to see if we might manage to get a game or two.

Enough is enough, good luck and have fun.
Sounds like you mayneed to suck less at PvP. I am on a similar dead server - 20 to 30 minute queues per zone - and I manage to at least get 2 if not 3 wins a day. my team wins anywhere from 33-50% of the time. 3 wins out of 8 tries is probably the worst I do.

Guys You dont get it, dont u ? It will take much more time till you get the trasnfer.Remeber the problems we experienced from the very beginning? They had to shut down the servers and fix it, like with 1.2 problems.

We dont know which servers will go first for trasnfer, we dont know long it will take to transfer it, we dont know if someting will go wrong and they postpone the release, we dont if the transfer system will crash, it can happen.

So my opinion is late summer, maybe even more later.

My information is gathered from official press releases and information gathered by the player community, such as that on TOR Status. Now, once again, your source?

You're free to believe anything you wish, and we are as well. The opinions you're choosing to criticize, though, are based on the information that has been provided the community. You may not believe the informations' truthfulness, but your opinion is not enough to discredit its validity.

If you feel feel SWTOR is a failure this strongly, why are you even posting here?

You should not claim an impression as fact unless you have evidence supporting its validity.

Technically the peak was significantly more, and was attained within the first month after launch. 1.7 million was the number it stabilized at after that first month's conclusion. This behavior is to be expecting within the MMORPG industry, though it is worth noting that 1.7 million represents far greater retention than historical models would predict.

They already are. Character transfers and server consolidation are the developers' top priority.

If its holding steady 1.7 since february why everyone cryng because of no ppl? at february my server had good population about 80 - 100 ppl now last 3 weeks max 30 same in other servers how you can explain it?

and why they making free trial and 30 months subscription also they made half price game sale? usually it happens when the game losing subscibers and tryng any way to keep game going up.
