ive been away from game sinse the end of 2017 somewhere around sept or oct...

 

back then the servers were almost empty but server merges were promised

 

i am wondering how the current state of the game is, did the merges help? how are que times? do pvp ques pop now (on my old server they didnt) what about starfighter, can you find groups for that

 

i also read several articles over my lapse of gametime saying the game was dead, and in maintence mode with no future updates incoming... is this true?

 

anyway looking forward to logging in and seeing whats changed after almost a year and a half. hopefully the game is still enjoyable unlike what the rumors i heard have said

I can't speak for the other servers, but starforge it is pretty active. Fp's, master fps, gen chat for ops, wz and Starfighter are consistently popping. Of course, there's peak and low times but they are pretty active. Even guild conquests are pretty active. However, I feel you may want to direct this post to the specific server you plan on playing on rather in general.
