Now it seems more and more like a Ghostown.

What's going on?
I play on the largest EU server and I have noticed the same thing.

could be that the auto LFG chased people away...or crossrealm...
Killer : Killer: 67%, Achiever: 53%, Explorer: 47%, Socializer: 33% - Teamwork is essential; it gives the enemy other people to shoot at.

Sky still falling? Game still going f2p next week? Every server empty?

Guarantee if they're still around 2 million subs next year, people will still be saying this game'll fail next week.

Well, good luck haters! And keep hanging around here telling us how fail the game is, since your life is devoid of anything better than slamming a game you hate.

This is what needs to happen. The sooner the better. From the Stress Tests in November they know what a server can handle and what the optimum range is. We definitely don't need 60+ servers.

Not like there is player housing or cities to worry about, most people wouldn't even notice/care if all their toons were moved to a different server to be honest. As long as entire servers are moved together.
Let this sink in, this game is Free to Play, boasts one of the most popular IPs on the planet and yet 76.47% of the servers are empty.

This game doesn't have anywhere near 2 million subs as of march...I'd bet my life on it...i log into 3 different servers all of them 20-30 people on the fleet at 8pm on a friday night...

EA wont merge the servers for a very long time - why? Because in the eyes of the mass gaming world(rightly or wrongly), merging servers is a sign of failure.

Now, the way I see it is that EA have two options. 1 - to merge servers FAST and admit they had too many at launch to 'reduce Q times, so it was a temporary measure to have so many) 2 - Allow things to continue and watch numbers drop even further because people wont play a game that has empty servers.

Either EA merge or they add X-server support with 1.2 - waiting any longer will just kill this game completely. They already did enough damage by releasing it 6 months too soon. You dont get a 2nd chance to make a first impression.

yeah, beacause everyone play at the same time, and population on the fleet is the only people playing on a server..riiiight.

and what's wrong with fridays ? do you think more people will play on that day then lets say tuesday? - wrong.

Few years ago you would never see me playing games at home on weekends. People do other stuff, trips, partys, visiting friends. Weekdays are for mmo not weekends.

The populations on both factions and servers I play on have been decreasing dramatically. Friends vanishing from the list and the few that stay are drunk off the patch 1.2 koolaid. So far almost every patch has broken the game or created some form of game altering change for the worse. It still doesn't change the fact that on both servers are relative ghost towns with infinitely long ques, along with another faceroll operation that will be farm status after the first week or two. Instead of playing the wow carbon copy with lightsabers I'll unsub and go play the real thing pandas here I come! btw did I mention the new wow xpack will have 2 new warzones one of which is a death match versiOn of hutball!!
