The only way to stop this is by preventing people from selecting fatman on the toon creation screen.
I have no idea why you would think this. I know some people playing on my server that rolled alts on Fatman to reserve their names or test the waters, but that's it. If they rerolled there for good, they're gone, and they're not people I'm worried about in this transfer. My guild's thrilled to be combining with a bunch of other servers, and most of us are really happy it's not the bloated Fatman.

People who kept playing on their origin servers are not just fence-sitters or people who rolled alts on Fatman. Some of us were just patient in waiting for transfers or were happy with our population until recently. Also, I know I don't and didn't have time to spread toons over a bunch of servers, and I'm far from the only one.

Thanks for nothing again. Why do I even continue playing this game? After this, I may not I guess.
You still re-rolled there. You have a character(s). You assumed and was wrong. Don't ever assume anything.

Some people just lucked out, such is life. Everyone will be on an active server when this is done. All servers in NA that were loaded up yesterday had minimum loads of 'Heavy" in prime time.

It appears that, for the most part, Bioware is doing this right.
30 min que to get in or 1hr que for a pvp match, yes I wait 1 hr last night for a pvp que to pop

THIS.^^^

You people gotta think, Most of the people that were on Fatman in the first place was re-rollers who were tired of playing on dead-servers. With the server transfers, you can expect a huge majority of the re-rollers on Fatman to go back to their origin servers and participate in the transfers. Not many people would write off the Legacies and characters that they initially left behind.

Prophecy will be huge, especially if they keep putting servers into it.

Heh, and there were a lot of successful MMO's that had worse starts than this. I've been playing MMO's for 15 years, you don't need to school me on MMO failure rates. I would still say that in many cases, the people who REMAINED playing on the low pop servers are the ones who are less vocal and less vitriolic in their dissatisfaction with the game. In other words, we were pretty happy with the game, unhappy with the low pop, but willing to wait on transfers. The really unhappy people are the ones who moved.

This is not at all referring to the people who quit playing and are back for transfers, just those of us who have been sticking around playing and didn't feel the need to reroll on another server to have fun. Our definition of fun as well as success might be broader than yours.

I still haven't got my transfer yet, I wanted to go to fatman cause I rerolled there when my server died. I'll be honest if the "P5" server is not close to the pop fatman has then I'll discontinue my account until paid transfers are available.

If I lose my name, then I might just unsub for a very long time/permanent

Sorry but a 19 servers times 10 people per is still a dead destination.
Looks like we have actual Bioware employees on the forums today giving us accurate information.
