Haha sorry. Must've missed where u said u were Republic. My condolences.

But seriously, even with only 65 people on the Imperial fleet (which is a slow night btw), I never have a problem finding a group for Flashpoints and all Warzone brackets are nearly insta-que. I mean c'mon, what more do some people want?

EDIT: and Imperial fleet was never 250-300. It's been steady around 100-150 since launch. Very little change.

The lack of response on their part is getting my knickers in a twist. I mean Ive been trying to get my friends to get this game since launch but the developers cant even do anything to want me to stay.

Of course it's a better idea. I play WZ with the same 15 people every night. Even in prime time Valkar Highway has only 30-40 people on board. But we have a very engaged WZ community but Rep side of our server is very thin.

What this means is that if we are forced to transfer to random servers to get in a higher pop server everyone will end up getting separated and since there are no server specific forums there is no easy way to coordinate a group move. That sucks. I like the guys I play with. I shouldn't have to pick between my fellow players and a higher pop server. If they simply looked at their own metrics and said, "Ok, let's just group these two and group these three," etc that would solve the population problem and keep friends together.

What they are suggesting is just so stupid. I have never seen anything like it. In EQ, in FFXI, in FFXIV when pop dropped the dev team merged the servers based on pop numbers they could see on the back end. It seems like every chance they get where they could improve things and the right choice is obvious they just crap a brick.

Man, even TERA has char transfer since launch, what a *********** fail joke from Bioware.

They should really close some servers and try to concentrate ppl in 3 or 4 servers, create more "Fatman like" servers, **** the queues, i dont minds queues, as long as there is a ton of ppl to play with.

Today i created a char on the Fatman, just to see what was happening.

What i saw: 60 people on Ord Mantell, the first planet u play as a trooper/smuggler.

60 people on Ord Mantell?

On my server if u try to create a tooper u will find only one person on Ord Mantell: YOU.

Despite all the work on my toons i swear by all the Gods in Vallhalla: if they do not implement transfers and merge some servers until next month, im out.

You dont launch a effing MMO game without the char transfer system, thats just lame and amateur stuff.

What do you want them to say that they haven't already said? Targeted free character transfers are on the way ASAP. Saying they're ignoring the problem doesn't make it true just because you said it. Reality is still reality.
