When will there be a SERVER MERGE?

Logged out frustrated for the first time today. Couldn't get any 10-49 warzones. 95 republic players logged in total at10pm on a west coast server.

The sad thing is that I like this game and I want to play it. However I cannot actually play, most of my time is spent standing around doing nothing waiting for action. It's extremely boring and I've looked for alternative entertainment for the first time in 6 months.
I believe in people bombing
I believe in people warring
I believe diseases coming
I believe that's why I'm running

This game only needs 1/10 to 1/20 of the servers it has now.

On second though: They should compensate by creating more servers.

How special would you feel if you had your VERY OWN SERVER!

That way the folks who don't want their "community" ruined by a cross server LFG can single handedly prevent it's use, and thereby the destruction of "community" that would obviously ensue!

X-server toggle. I've already offered this idea on the X-server LFG thread.
Allix Crowe - Vanguard Trooper -/- Ethavan Crowe - Smuggler Gunslinger -/- Malrath Crowe - Powertech Bounty Hunter -/- Boslo - Jedi Knight Sentinel -/- Jiao-gen Pall - Jedi Knight Guardian -/- Landen Tanarr - Jedi Consular Sage -/- Vaelyth Kinti-kaar- Sith Warrior Juggernaut -/- Oteln'erose'thu - Imperial Agent Sniper -/- Zandur Tuum - Cathar Knight

I just want to post my vote for YES on server merges...

I am currently in the only Republic city fleet in this game and 7 people are online in the fleet. 5 total lvl 50's on throughout the entire server... Think I will get a 4 man instance run anytime soon? That was rhetorical.

I have been in the pvp queu since I logged on tonight 3 hours ago.

What he said... Servers are dying cause people get bored. 30min Queue for a huttball... Naahhh then I rather wait for GW2 or something else. This is waste of my money. Bioware dont want to admit they have made a bad decision.

Now, whiners whine about NOT having a server queue.

The silent majority on your *ALERT: sarcasm* "ghost server" */sarcasm* doesn't want a server merge, they're too busy NOT sitting around on the fleet twiddling their thumbs and spamming.

I have 3 Republic 50s on a decidedly Imp-heavy server that hovers between Light/Standard, and I have a Sith on The Fatman I've toyed with off and on for 3 months (he's on Voss). I've seen both "sides" of the coin.

Why isn't the Sith 50 after 3 months?
Because I'm not sitting in an "effing" queue, for one thing.
The fleet lags there.
General chat there is an abomination, and I'm not talking about just the fleet.
He's Sith, after all, they're the bad guys.
I'm too busy playing on my "ghost server" Republic characters.

Server merge? NO. Not needed. Quit crying.

Paid server transfers? I don't have a problem with this at all! I'll not begrudge someone from joining the "winning team" if they so desire, plus it generates a little extra revenue for Bioware. However, until they're available, a wise man in another thread offered these two options:
1) Reroll
2) Unsub

I, along with most of the "silent majority", don't give a rat's rectum which option you choose; as long as it means one less whiner whining about one less thing on the forums, we win.

HAHAHA it doesn't mean one less whiner, it means 1 person out of every 4 quit last quarter, and more will follow suit unless bioware will do something about the inability to play their game due to population. If you want to play solo on a "ghost server", you would probably be much happier with an RPG game that is played offline, not a sub based mmorpg
Everything in life is given a way to measure its success/failure. Some pay attention to the metrics, some don't, but in the end they still exist. Please give us combat logs / parsing so that we may measure our successes in game.
