Both seem like worthy options... Again, you refuse to address toons already made and the time/money spent to create them being flushed down the toilet. There is no gurantee that even if we did roll a new toon on a different server that the new server will stay populated. Many of us started out on a populated server but by the time we leveled to 50 everyone dissapeared. Another point you refuse to address is how even servers considered full are still very inactive for sometimes 20 hours a day, I have seen the fatman listed as low many, many times. The problem goes much deeper than just one or two servers, this issue is a problem for most of the players of this game.
No matter how hard you try, you can't beat time.

You know good and well Bioware won't put out transfers until their ready, so you're currently only hurting your own play time. Nice...so there's no point in rerolling at the present time then...because, if you're right (which I'm not doubting) whatever legacy we end up with on that new server will be overwritten by the old legacy when we transfer toons...which means we lose the new legacy which makes it a waste of time. Or, depending upon how long it takes for transfers to arrive, we lose the old legacy...hence more time wasted...sound like it's better to simply not play until transfers come out. Now, if they were to merge the legacies in such a way that the legacy xp's from one were added to those of the other...then I could see it not being a complete loss. Shrug....Yes, much of the above is sarcastic and facetious. By the way, many of us are actually happy with the game overall, but there are things that could make if better. xrealm LFD is one of those things (despite trolls claiming it ruins communities...while ignoring the fact that they don't have to use it lol).

Nothing is flushed down the toilet. Within two months you will be able to move your precious time/money investment to more populated servers, and can do so again later if that server pop falls off. Chill, relax, do something in game (maybe roll to test some other servers) or unsub for two months. According to your tears, it's not like you have anything to do where you are now.

Personally, I want a xrealm LFG feature. My lone point is that there IS a current way that you can have fun and play with a lot of people. Both Jedi Covenant (pub) and Canderous Ordo (Imp) normally have over 100 people on fleet when I play from 9-1AM EST. If I'd have stayed on The Courageous, where fleet is lucky to have 5-10 people during this time, I'd be pretty upset right now too.

This is just one aspect of the game where there are alot of strong opinions. But if it makes you feel better to picture this 40+ year old man in a corner crying his eyes out then knock yourself out BTW, 3/10 on the troll attempt (have to give you something since I did choose to respond)

People interested in multiplayer content transferring from low pop servers? But... by making low pop servers ghost pop servers... ...those transfers will destroy their community ! ( /trollface)

My friends and I of late have more or less abandoned our Republic toons and now play Imp ones on a server that usually has 150-180 on fleet during peak. And we do get occasional groups there, but still, even there have to spend time, sometimes in vain, spamming general. It would be nice though at some point to be able to play those Republic toons again without having to reroll them from scratch.

All I have to say is this. Who do you think Bioware will cater to? The people already playing the game and loving it? Or the people who just complain about wanting something simply because their last MMO had it? Seeing as Galaxies was destroyed because of the latter, I assume they are going to go with the former.

If I'd have stayed on The Courageous, where fleet is lucky to have 5-10 people during this time, I'd be pretty upset right now too. Sure if it is implemented with.... 1. Ability to /friend characters (not accounts) regardless of server, /whisper them (regardless of server) on those characters, and /invite them to groups prior to queueing for XLFG. 2. Includes an ignore-like "blacklist" that will hold an unlimited number of people and only blocks grouping with them when using the xlfg tool (I might want to blacklist someone mid-run but not ignore them because the latter would impede group communications). 3. Only pools servers into LFG queues based on their type (RP, PvE, RP-PVP, PVP) and doesn't ask people to group with people who don't share the most broad of gaming preferences at a minimum. After all, why have server types if they aren't going to matter? 4. Includes a limited number of free character transfers to facilitate joining the guild of friends from another server you happened to meet via cross-server grouping? 5. Rewards you for pre-forming your own groups rather than taking randoms. Call for these features to be added and I'll support you. Ask for a mindless, faceless, friendless cross-server group that typified my experiences with them in WoW and Rift.

It would also be great if they'd do as some others have suggested and limit Need rolls to gear that your AC can use. I don't see many people saying that WoW's xserver LFD was perfect, but for many of us, it greatly improved our experience. Sure there were bad groups but there were many more good ones (and same server groups before the tool were just as likely to be bad too). I also have friends who had never raided before who, after the tool came out were able to start joining us for those. Before the tool, I usually had one, maybe two raid geared toons. After the tool came out, many of my toons got to raid which also added to my enjoyment. And those who didn't like it, simply didn't use it (I know many of those too).
