What is funny is the fact that they actually have the ability to do server transfers and keep legacy because they did it for free to the Asian Servers, hmm...

It's been real but the game just wasn't worth the sub for me anymore.

They did it MANUALLY. C'mon, man. That's obviously not a solution for the rest of the population.

They can still do it and the game needs it now. I am no programmer so I have no idea how difficult it would be to make an automated system to solve this. While time consuming, this seems to be most important issue that overall playerbase seems to agree upon.

I agree. They need to pay overtime to the team that's working on it if they have to and get it out THIS MONTH, if they hope to create the atypical trend of increasing subs at 6 months old.

I forgot to mention that they should leave people on the healthy servers where they are, I.E. Fatman, Harbinger and Canderous.

I want this game to grow and prosper in more ways than one so badly.

Okay, i would love to see a solution to the low population issue. I am on a Light PvP realm and not many people are ever on, but that doesnt really matter. A lot of people on this blog just want a high population so they can sit in the Fleets and spam flashpoints and PvP too level 50. I am a former WoW player and literally got from 10-85 without leaving the confines of stormwind. And i did this in less then a week. Bioware is trying to avoid this, They obviously want to please their consumers, but do not want people to sit in the fleet the whole time. If they wanted this they would have not even made other planets to go to. They will fix the problem, but its not as simple as throwing ten light servers together to get a server with an extremely high pop that "pings" 10000000000000. Give them time, i take a high school programming course and making a program for a simple Calculator takes forever. Imagine how much goes into this game? Bioware is an honest company, they know what they are doing, if they didnt how do you think they wouldnt of got the funding to create this game. THEY WILL FIX THE PROBLEM, until then everyone just be patient.

You might want to have a look at WoW forums, they are almost a mirror of these.... Especially the "MY SERVER IS TEH EMPTY GIEF TRANSFER" and the "BLIZZARD YOU RUINED MY LIFE" threads
I'm on them everyday you sir are wrong. Most of the time there are more people on my wow guild then on the fleet.
I want this game to succeed but this early summer crap is bs and thats for transfers. why don't they just give the people what they want its not without reason its almost as if the people who play this game care more about it then the ones who make it. My trust in bioware keeps dropping everyday after losing so many subs you would think
they try and keep the ones they have.
