I dont mind a short que either. However, I do hope BW either decreases the respawn rate of objectives for dailies or increases the amount of instances in daily areas. Daily missions were boring to grind and complete before and now that they are taking an extra 30-60 min is not making them any more fun. Other than that I love my new server (shadowlands) and the population.

10 minute wait worth instant groups, or is instance login worth hours of waiting?

My server had a wait the first couple of days. I have no issue with it. Last night it remained very heavy for most of the night. I checked when I logged on for my raid at 8pm, and then again when I logged on at 10pm. I checked again at 1 am when I logged back in. I only saw one queue on all the servers, for 10 minutes. Now granted, there could have been more, but they did not last very long if I was not seeing them as a constant through-out the night.

They can't balance population on an hourly basis, but overall, from what I see, they did it absolutely right.
May the Schwartz be with you....

I wonder what's next.
Rest assured something will be resurrected from threads made in January & February that have already been fixed.
Can we please just have our pre-KotFE SWTOR MMORPG back?

I've been thinking about subbing for more months but at the same time I want to wait and see if I can start transfering anywhere ASAP.(That's like the only issue i have, i want it done, too many issues in the game already but if i can transfer anywhere that will make me a happy sub, otherwise you'll lose me bioware which we both don't want to happen. )

I understand not everything can come out every week, and it needs time, however I must admit that you have made strides in this area. For the first time in a long time, I'm again excited about this game. I re-subbed to RIFT because I think Trion do an awesome job with the development (even though I'm not addicted to RIFT any more, I did want to support them because of their devotion to their player base) but since I do love this game and am addicted to this game, I went ahead and cancelled that re-up and instead chose to re-up here with all the change in what seems like the culture at BW. Keep up the good work and I think you will continue to see numbers grow as people love this game..they just wanted you to get your act together.

Keep things on the upward path, and get back to being the BW that we have all grown to love as game developers.
Very happy to hear! As I outlined last month, we definitely are committed to making sure that we address concerns that surface up (even though we may not have an answer to every single question) and we're very glad that your experience with the transfers has been excellent. Thank you for taking the time to write this. It is very much appreciated.

As a fellow software developer, I have to say that I was also impressed with how smoothly the transfer process went. I was also happy to see that you took your time and watched the populations as transfers occurred, rather than giving in to the complainers and rushing the process, which is what got us into the population mess in the first place.

The server transfer is smash hit. Last night I had about a 15 minute (or less) login que. What a bargain to trade 15 minute login in time with tons of PvP WZ matches for what we had previously: no login time but an entire night of waiting for one maybe two or three PvP pops. I don't mind the slight lag created on the fleet from all these players.

You only have yourself to blame if you refused to transfer.

I have to agree with the OP, The Fatman was my 4th server:P I would get to 50, no fps, no wzs, no ops, pretty much had dailies to do alone and so I would move. By the time I had hit The Fatman I was so utterly impressed that there was a 3 digit number for the fleet and that I could actually play the game with others that I was content. Then transfers came and I can play my old characters again. My only issue now is my favorite characters are spread across multiple servers now but at least when I play them I can play them with people lol. Would be nice to consolidate my favorites onto a single server though:P
