I agree, but as long as they don't listen, it does not matter. the game is screwed unless they give a proper ETA for the mergers. I'm on Drooga's pleasure barge which is considered a standard server, but I am bored out of my mind by playing alone. integrate the light populations into the lower standard ones. i dont even care about my name at this point.

A server merge alone with NOT solve the problems, this game needs CPR, quick:

3) Up the ante for doing HM flashpoints. This would add huge incentive to do flashpoints, the HM daily reward should be scaled to the difficulty of the heroic completed, and should include Rakata and Black Hole tokens as appropriate:

The Black Talon: Keep as-is, "LFG quick daily BT HM" in General Chat makes my stomach turn
Boarding Party: Add 1 Rakata token
The Foundry, Directive 7: Add 2 Rakata token
The Battle of Ilum, The False Emperor, Kaon under Siege: Add 1 Black Hole token
Lost Island: Add 2 Black Hole token

Early summer is going to be too late. I'm gonna play out my free month and probably unsub after that until free merges are available. If they won't give me free transfers for my entire legacy I'll be done with the game. There's no excuse for this to not be available right now. We just saw them do it for the Aussies.

They will have a server merge...right when there is about 20 people left to merge onto one server. I've never seen a company so completely out of touch with it's customer base. What has really happened with Bioware?

Is there any discussion of merging servers or adding incentives to move players to low pop servers?

JO: No, we’re not going to. Merging servers is not something we are looking at. We have a very healthy game right now, so that is not something we are looking at in the near future. We're always going to look at ways to make sure a server is healthy. There are a whole bunch of different ways you can do that. We're discussing them. We want to make sure players feel like there are enough players on their server to play with.
right.... so that proves that he have no clue... was that rude? well probably was...
but if they even bothered to read this thread then they would see that there are several dead servers...
Acting like this it only proves to me that he is more interested in the money gained from the game than the actual players in the game...

On ludo Kressh there are never more than 20 players online on the fleet. on the republic side that is...
forming groups are a nightmare. doing anything that is based on having other players there to help are a nightmare...

So to all in BW that thinks that the game is "very healthy" game, get ur head out of the bantha back end and start look on the servers outside of the US.... it feels like playing a MSO (massive single-player online game)
Do or do not! there is no try!
