I really can't see any good reason not to allow us to choose a west or east coast server.

I'm glad there has been a reply on this matter but as seems so often the case, it's fallen short of what was actually being asked.
I totally support your request and I hope that Bioware listens, as well as listens to people who would like to move to EU servers.

Regardless I have managed to get a 50 a few 40 somethings and my lowbies into as many instances as I have wanted to without to much problem. longest wait time I ever had was 20 mins, which even WoW has as DPS.

I feel for the people on the other two servers that are dead sure but lets kill the majority to suit the individual, if in fact that's true, and it not just because our servers with the US dollar are now costing them to much.

Put out a real question to ALL of us oceanic players and see what the response is.

if a player cannot enjoy a certain aspect of the game adequately the server is considered low pop imo, your argument about "wait times" is kinda flawed here, i enjoy pvp i want good pvp pops, you enjoy alting and do a various other things i dont, i would like the game to cater to my undying thirst of pvp as well. The US server provides me with adequate amounts of pvp to quench my thirst. So im quite happy with the move. But i dont expect the rest of you to be as well, you are all entitled to your respective opinions. But please dont shoot down other peoples PoVs this game is played in many different ways not just your way.

I merely responded in kind.
You said the pops on Dalborra are crap, or insinuated it anyway, where for me they are not, and as everyone has said allow those that want to to transfer off and those that do to stay, there would be far more staying, and possibly coming from the NA servers.

Hopefully you started on an NA server and are understanding what you are asking for, as an avid PvPer I am surprised you are happy to be behind the 8 ball.

or maybe you are lucky enough not to have a 300 plus ping to the NA servers in prime time.

Just image how much that discontent will blow out once they actually inform most APAC players that their servers will going away.
An ea/bioware customer support person named Eric musco announced it in this very thread, search back. Or did you already see it and are just so blind by rage you don't want to accept it?
If it wasn't going ahead he wouldn't of made it known.

Petition isn't going to change this action bl for the people who like the servers now but I'm glad this is happening. Just my opinion.

Ive signed but i see no point. I like many here have played this game from day one, ive seen BW ignore post after post and thread after thread, they think of there pocket first not of us, they SAY they are listening to the us and want our feed back but its clear to everyone on an APAC server that they dont.

i have un subbed because i will not pay money to play in the same few WZ's on a server were my ping is going to be border line UNplayable...

I loved the part where Musco doesn't mention server latency. There's more to Australia than the east coast, people.

the pop frequency for pvp is bearable at best, also ping can be easily overcome if you have a stable range, i get 240~280ms which is very easy to counter imo.
