People are talking about one thing. Population consolidation. How it's done is irrelevant. Players will move. Servers will shut down.
Yep. Good luck getting him to admit that though.
Meanwhile, in Tera general chat -

"The sad thing is, arguing with fanbois on the forums was more entertaining than their 300 million dollar single player MMO from 2008"

Again, don't want me to be "Captain Semantic"? Then tell people to stop raging at JO for saying NO MERGES and thinking he means transfer/shut-downs. I see it too much to let it go.

The servers really need to be cut down by at least half, the lack of population on some servers is just awful.

Peragus mining facility is dead.
The stats over the last 60 days show the highest our server has been is at Standard level.
We are actually one of the more populated servers in europe which is unbelievable.
The fact that Bioware has dragged its feet over this is the main reason why so many people are unsubbing.
Not to mention the poor customer service, the fact that server downtimes favour the people in the US and bugs that remain unfixed despite them trying to push new content out.
When are Bioware going to put the Massively back into MMO?

Poor effort and its reflected in the amount of accounts that have been cancelled of late.
There is no such thing as a stupid question. Only stupid answers.

Arymono: When will character transfers be available for everybody?

Dallas Dickinson (Senior Producer, Live Services): We will be rolling out our Character Transfer Service in early summer. First we’ll have some targeted free transfers from/to specific servers, but that will be followed with a broader system where you can either take advantage of free promotional transfers to specific servers or paid transfers to the server of your choice. We know everyone has more questions about character transfer, and we’ll reveal more details closer to the launch date.



DrakeAssaShin: What is being done to address low population servers?

Dallas: The Character Transfer Service, as mentioned above, will be offering free transfers from/to specific servers. This should allow the most motivated players to get onto a higher population server.
Well he did say what they were doing was to allow the "most motivated players" a chance to get onto higher pop servers. I'm sure they'll save the other players data, or move them by force at a later date. I could care less about them. The most motivated players are the important ones.

Please make server transfers and mergers a priority. On the server 'Warriors of the Shadow," I am in the largest Republic guild (IRONFIST). We had a great community, but with no PVP and constant decline in population, this game is ending faster as most of us know. Server statistics are frightening for 95% of the servers. I think many would agree it is a stretch to consider this a massive multiplayer online. I'm getting deja vu of Warhammer Online.

I just needed to vent. Sorry for the redundancy.

Server maintenance should be seperated into US, EU, Asia/Pacific.

I know posting this will accomplish nothing, but I figured I may as well share my support for server merges.

I'm on Death Wind Corridor. Played Empire since pre-launch, never had any problems getting flashpoint/heroic groups on my main character. Last month I rolled a Jedi Knight - was unable to do a single heroic or flashpoint, due to the low population - other than the 2 that I paid a level 50 a ridiculous amount of credits to take me through because I really wanted to see the story.

Back on my empire main, and I I've decided want the speeder you get from completing hard mode flashpoints. Can't do it. I can spam the fleet with "DPS LFG ANY HM" all night and get nothing.

I have 8 characters, total, that I've put a lot of effort into and frankly, I care about them. So I'm going to stop playing before I reroll onto a more populated server.
