What is the problem? with 75% of the servers (give or take 1 or 2 %) being standard or better what more do you want? On a weekday night? At 10pm eastern (when I looked).

I'm not happy with the population and this is why:
  1. I paid $150 for the Collectors Edition
  2. I paid $140 for e gaming keyboard
  3. I paid $400 for a new video card
  4. Paid 2 three month subs...

This is an AMAZING GAME...The best I've experienced, however on a pvp server one should have pvp. Waiting 15 minutes in a solo cue for a 6 man unbalanced pvp experience is horrible. So with 3 level 50 toons, unable to get enough warzones to make a dent into getting even one piece of War Hero gear, what's the point? This is frustrating. We need transfers or something.

Those "standard" servers are extremely empty, you know that right? I had friends on darth malek which was a "standard" server and it averaged 30 people at prime time on the fleet...30...Now imagine how dead the light servers are. If only 3 servers can even manage heavy at prime time then there is something wrong. Server mergers need to happen, simple as that.

I cosign this thread. I broke down and rerolled on high pop server though, leaving my other 6 toons to languish in the deserted regions of the internets.

Lol ok so now even being standard is not good enough for you? Come on I am on one of the standard servers. 80 some people in the republic fleet. 47 people online in the guild. So ya your numbers are WAY off. If 71 servers isnt enough for you I dont know what could ever please you. Not all of us love queues and people ganking all the quest mobs etc. I like my server the way it is now. You want crowds there are 5 servers in NA alone available to you.

Even standard rated servers can be ghost towns. Log into a few. There are planets with less than 10 people on a standard server.
The main Imperial and Republic space stations can have 30 or less people online in a standard server.

There are 5 people on Hoth right now on my server. Yet there are 26 people in my guild. If you refuse to make friends then whos fault is it you cannot find groups?

$400 for a video card for an MMO is a mistake. MMO games are mostly CPU bound.
Your second mistake was buying a PvE game and expecting good PvP.
This game that was marketed and designed around the epic storylines. PvP is just a bolt-on afterthought.

When those 5 people ignore chat and your guild is dead there's not much you can do.
Congrats on finding a stable Guild, but there are many servers that have had massive player drop-offs and dead guilds.
