This was poor implemnting of servces and someone should have their knucles racked with a ruler.
So now they will have to create a transfer system, that will encourage those who havent already rerolled/quit to merge themselves on mid range servers.This will take priority over x-server, but only slightly.
With these two systems on the burner i would bet open world pvp (ilum revamp) has been set back even further in the to do list.
There are several servers that reach heavy/full RP-pvp RP Pve PVP( i believe 2 pvp 2 pve and 1 each for rp and rp-pvp), but the fatman is the only one that seems to never go below standard at any hour.
Folks, I don't know how many times people have to say this, but some of you should take notice.

The PVP teams are NOT the same development teams working on character transfer functions. There are different teams that are specializing in different skill sets and there is no reason that one system takes precedence over another system, because they aren't throwing everyone on one project, because that would be an incredibly stupid thing to do.

So the chance of the open world PVP team being set back due to character transfers is almost nil.

Yes, it's completely nil. One team's priorities have absolutely nothing to do with another team's priorities. So, when BioWare says that server transfers are their number one priority, it is! For the team working on server transfers.

It's called "non-zero-sum", people. And, yes, it's not the typical developer function. BioWare did something different, though: they kept the entire team that created TOR, instead of laying them off like normal.

It doesn't work that way. The reason BioWare added so many new servers was because at launch the tears of people waiting in queues flooded all the way to the moon. The tears and rage back then was a lot worse than it is now.

the red eclipse seems fine too, easy to group and all the planets seem to boast 50+ every time i log no matter what time.

dont go to fleet much as i get huge lag, but from the times i have its always been 100+, often 200+
trust me, i came from wow with a dead server....40-50 people on the server TOPS at prime time, its the nature of server balance that people drift in and out.

i know theres a huge investment in time and effort, but really - re rolling an alt on another server until something is done about merge/transfer really is the way to go.
i originally rolled on lord calypho and found it dead, left my lvl35 jugg there, and went to TRE and now have a lvl 50 sith and a lvl 29 BH and loving it.

(ive only been playing a few weeks too btw)

However the chance of an Open World release being set back because of server transfers (or some other high priority need) is not nil.

Once the differemt dev teams have done their bit, it's then on to the System Test, QA, Release, Service Transition , Service Ops teams.

And then you have the Change Management process/board.....Devs are the least of your problem.

I'm not on Fatman and I've never had a problem find groups to game with on my server.
I'm on The Fatman and I'm not QQ'ing. -_-

I'm just taking action here on the forums to look for some results in a mature discussion for my interview.
Do you want free 7 days of subscription time? And one free server transfer?

I play Jedi Covenant with my Pub characters and Canderous Ordo with my Imps. Both are great. Constant chatter on most planets and it's normally easy to find groups for just about anything.

I just hope when these transfers and possibly merges are over, that I don't have to see the QQ'ing of queues on these forums, I swear the Force. I think if I dealt with it during SWTOR's beta everyone else could have, too. But what can you do?

I give up. I guess you have succumbed to your own signature. So, keep crying for mergers. I'm tired of telling people they aren't coming.

Doesn't change the fact they aren't coming, however.

Fatman isn't the only server; the only reason it is talked about the most is because PvPers complain the most of any other gamer and the Fatman is a PvP server, which is why there are so many PvPers there, which is why in complaints about server issues, it is the server people only talk about, because PvPers complain the most of any other gamer.

PvPers complain a lot. It is understandable that the Fatman is the topic of discussion, as most of the complainers are also self-professed PvPers.
