I hope this is not the case. If this is done there will be no "PvP" servers all will be "PvE" (they better not make them all PvP ).

I suspect "for the test" they copied all the East Coast US servers onto one server because that yeilded the highest total for the stress test.

Hello BW ... you REALLY need to jump in here with a real concreate and clear message on your intentions here!!!!

Not sure how this discussion of less servers got in this thread but the answer is NO , NO and NO. They will still have the 25 destination servers like now , the only difference is that they will be higher population servers. OK everyone ?

I agree.

Clearly what they are doing is preparing for a influx of more active accounts (ie: freemium accounts) running concurrently with subscriptions.

People should appreciate what is being done here by Bioware. It means they will not handle population influx from freemium by going to more servers, but rather by beefing up the servers and stacking the populations higher. It's nice to see them learn from their mistakes and move forward with better approaches.

Which is what I thought all along. It seemed to me, that some in this thread thought this may happen (maybe it was just me). I re-read the article explaining the mega server test to be sure. But, you have to admit that given past performance of "surprising" us with "solutions" that one could be lead in this direction.

That's very true these surprises aren't very nice surprises so you never know they could do something else , but I'm about 95% sure it is to beef up the 25 servers and yes they will be very busy in November. The only problem with all this is the poor F2P and forced transfered people will have next to no names left to chose from. What was it 300 servers down to 25 err yeah a bit drastic , I was hoping for about 35 servers really but that's me.

Don't forget the prior subscribers who come back to play for "free" (and brag in advance about it) and can't log on because they are in a 90 minute queue behind all the subscribers jumping the line ahead of them.

AND the best part...... since they have no subscription, they can't come here and rage post about the queues either.

There's a positive post for us subscribers , excellent and also don't forget when they log on , they will find half there items locked out and maybe some of their characters .

I hope they do the more slots before trying to do the force move. I'd rather it give me the chance to transfer off some toons before I'm suddenly hit with forced transfer.

If they do that , it would be cool , but it would be best to make the 8-12 characters on the destination server then you get 12 plus all your other characters on the same server , you won't get any locked out characters ( unless you have to change their names ) . That would be win win.

That too. But I was thinking this because I still have some lonely toons on the origin servers because there were too many to transfer to the destination. I log into them to see some things. Lowbie still on Tython, I am alone as the number at the top says 1. Good for not having to fight over chests and mobs but alone. lol

A near 20 Sith Juggy, alone on the fleet. Too depressing to see the number just at 1 so log out. But the destination has a same level Marauder so I can still get my Sith on.

I have two level fifties and they are both well geared and viable in the current content and ready for new content when it comes out. I would rather be at where I am right now than to have eight level fifty alts running around in columi and tionese gear.
Anything that is done repetitively can be done by a computer. That is why right brained people will eventually rule the world.
