When will there be a SERVER MERGE?

I really hope Bioware does something soon about all these low pop servers, the down time on doing anything in this game anymore is ridiculous. I'm getting pretty frustrated with it as well, definitely seems like a money sink to be paying for this and getting half the content back.

Yup, I feel the same way. After my sub runs out, the only way I would come back is if they offered me free time to come back and also gave me the same free transfers they gave everyone else.
How do you measure the success of an MMO?

If BW was business savvy, they would have server merges out next week, the same week that Diablo III drops. Half my guild is picking up D3, and we are thrilled to get off our slow server and into some fresh action.

Having transfers next week would completely distract us from Diablo III. We were laughing about that today in Team Speak.

But no, BW wants to wait another month and a half or so, and let subs drop and turn people off from the game.

The technology is there. The leadership at EA/BW is not.

By "fresh action" you mean "non-PvP action", right?

anything but sitting in fleet waiting for pvp to pop or trying to organize an 8 man operation!

At this point, i'm just sitting, doing nothing, waiting for things to happen that used to take a few mins max back early in JAN.

They really need to do server transfer/shut-downs this month. I'm hoping that "early summer" was worst-case scenario. Not for my sake, but for the sake of the game. I'm on the 20th most-populated server and can get a full 24-man together no problem.

Its a massive problem. I simply cant do the content in the game anymore. There aren't enough people anymore. Post 1.2, my server has emptied itself out.

Like I said, Diablo III next week. What would I rather do? suffer with low pops or go check out D3?

Definitely, I don't blame you. Go check out D3. Come back when there are no low pop servers, ranked warzones are here, and the revamped open-world is at least talked about, hehe.

Really? Today I had the WORST WZ I've ever played and I was so mad at my Republic friends that I almost didn't join the queue again, I ended the night on the mest Hutt Ball game I've ever played!!! Imps were kicking our bums and then out of no where we just started to score, we started to stick toghether and found a rhythm, we hit 4/4 and then just stole it with score 5 and 6

WZ's are as fresh as you can get your team to make them. I even stealthed behind a guy on voidstar and we were stood practically back to back as I planted the bomb with another stealthed ally right next to me... it was great and we couldn't believe we got away with it

Hopefully BW/EA will do something to improve community/queue/PVE activity for players and the community at large but I don't think the community as a whole, even though it whines a lot has a lot of faith in the speed at which BW/EA are moving.

I already cancelled any many have, the game won't last another month IMO, if they do do something ASAP they are going to drop below 1mill subs within weeks.
