When will there be a "SERVER MERGE?"

No need for server merges. Bioware told us the number of subscribers is increasing and if we remember correctly all the servers were full around christmas. So if anything bioware needs to increase the number of servers by 2-3 the amount and offer free transfers from old servers to the new ones. We don't want hour long ques and thousands of people on the fleets.


unless ofc bioware was trolling us.

Overall, all U.S. Servers have gone from "Light" 30% of the time in Jan. to "Light" 70% of the time now.

Data doesn't get much more solid than that.

The problem is, they can't do server merges because it will scare investors.

So...what's the solution?

The reason for that large of a swing is because the server pop caps have been raised since January. Im not disputing that some servers have become barren, trust me I know, I have a toon on one...Im just stating that you cant use torstatus in the way you are to back up the statement you made.

Thats not the only reason it has been stated that the legacy system is a bit of a problem when it comes to transfers and merges...

People are quitting because they believe the game is dead. Problem is that by quitting they are making the game dead. There are too many players spread out whoare just too stubborn to reroll now and would much rather quit then helping the community solve the population issue on its own

Yeah, people's stubborness is responsible for this, they just refuse to have fun rerolling. BW has nothing to do with it. BW has nothing to do with people leaving in the first place. BW has nothing to do with not being able to keep the subs they got from launch. BW has nothing to do with not getting more new players than the ones that leave. People who keep playing the game are responsible for low population servers

Seriously, BW knew that they were going to lose subs after the initial launch. It just happens. They also know that low population servers have a negative impact, with snowball effect. How did they prepare to contain this ? Well, we don't know. They're not addressing the issue. And that only make things worse, and threads like this are just places to vent some disappointment, which is fine btw.

Yeah, I rerolled on a maximum pop server and that one has fallen a little, but it's still playable.

Can you link me to where they said they raised popcap? Because, even if they did, then torstatus should show a sudden spike and not a gradual increase in the quantity of "Light" times.
