Just unsubbed as well. I still have 74 days of game-time pre-paid.
Tired of re-rolling and empty servers, amongst other issues. I am going to take a brief hiatus from the game, and then try to grind out another character on another server.

If they can revive some servers and there are actual people to play with I might resub.

What amazes me is how EA timer after time can get all these good titles to ruin. Doesn't people get any wiser? Why does big companies continually suicide their precious IP to EA ?

I mean I'm with you, servers have to be consolidated either by transfers or merges, but had the whiners not QQed for new servers at launch we'd not really be in this mess atm. So you can thank them for that.

Any Veteran MMO player can tell you that once the MMO Hoppers are gone, this crap always happens.
I am not one who cried for new servers. I have started playing in early access, there were many servers full with ques to join in, so I have choosen one of the new servers, which was my biggest mistake. I am never going to start playing on new servers, I would rather wait now 20 minutes to join game or even more at the launch of the game, those server are mostly populated later on. Your right about too many server at launch because of people QQ... I've read many posts during the launch where people said they cba wait 1 hour to play, that they paid for it to be properly working, and now we got what they asked for.

Why do you have all these idiots getting on here and saying you should be happy with a standerd pop. I play in a standerd pop server and it's dead. Try looking for a game with 3-5 people on planets and 30 people in fleet. Guess what you can't! And this is a game we are paying for. So there for we are paying for a game that we can't play properly. And by the way. Why are all these people saying don't worry we are getting player transfers. So where does that leave the servers that people are leaving? I have been asking this question every day. Is Bioware still gonna ignore this server merge thing and leave a server to die? Just do a freakin merge and get it over with. So freakin what if I have to change my name from Shockwave to Shoc***wave. As long as the game gets Better , that's all that matters.
He will choose the fate of the weak. He will win and break his chains. He will choose how he will be loved. He will strengthen himself through sacrifice. He will strengthen himself through pain. He will balance himself through peace and conflict. He will remake himself. He will unleash pain and chaos upon his enemies.

If you look at the population by the server status, you are really wrong. There were times when my server had 80 people at fleet on empire side, about 30 on republic. We had standard status. Now, with 20 people at Empire side, and sometimes not even 10 on republic, we still have standard population status. I feel lonely in MMO game. That is wrong.

Just as an FYI, I ran a brief census on my server, using 25 search locations, all the planets, main flash points, WZ's etc. "STANDARD" equaled ~250 people on the Imperial side. 250 scattered around the place. It was dead.

STANDARD doesn't mean anything, because with STANDARD, you can have literally on average 8 people per world.

8 people! at night! are you kidding me? that is "LIGHT" to anyone else!

So, STANDARD servers feel dead, play dead, and looking for a group? GOOD LUCK.

I did 3 different population census's on that night, and only one group was running EV, and they failed at it. So, in 4 hours, between 7-11pm EST, only 8 people were able to attempt an EV run and they failed. Really?

We need the server to be jumping with life so its exciting. social opportunities! easy to find groups! a vibrant GTN! we dont see those really on STANDARDs anymore, except Friday and Saturday. Thats it.

Yeah, they need to tighten up what qualifies as STANDARD. My server is a STANDARD, and there's around 150 on Fleet every day, more on weekends (usually Fleet has at least 2 instances), and last week I had no problem at all on Tatooine getting a full 24-man ops group going three times in two days spamming only Tatooine chat and LFG channel.

So, yeah, the window is way too wide for what a STANDARD is.

Takes me forever to get into a Warzone on a PVP server. I seriously hope this is near the top of Bioware's to-do list.
