Server population is dropping...

The point is, if you aren't playing on the heavy and up servers, there is probably a big spread in "standard" and on the low end of standard still feels empty.

Not sure how you can think a couple hundred people spread throughout the entire game is considered a good size server, that is awful. Even more so when the game is still so young.

There should be more then 4 servers with a heavy population on the weekend, don't ya think? Especially considering how many of reported populations problems from standard servers. If you read my post you'd see I eluded that the vast majority are standard, what are you trying to say?

Its like you're trying to make this look like a smaller deal then it is.

The key point is this the busy time for the servers, imagine how bad is outside of the few hour windows each and every time.

EDIT: Yes I have an agenda, I want you to merge the bloody servers sooner then later. The longer we don't pretend this is a massive issue the longer the game is going to suffer from not having sufficient players. Or we give a cross LFD tool ... but that is for another thread.

I think server transfer is one of the more urgent features, since there are ALOT of posts and threads about it. I don't need it but there should be an option for people to move. Could cost 1m credits or $5 per character or something, maybe even one time free, with a name and legacy name change if the name is taken. This way we can give people what they want and avoid the negative signals of closing servers, at least for now.

Free transfers from the lowest pop servers to the med pop servers would be a huge improvement. Clear those near empty servers out and leave the healthy servers alone, no reason to not have a majority of servers being heavy during peak followed by some standard and light, not almost all light and standard, with barely any heavy.

Still hate "standard", it feels like saying you make '5 figures', and on one end some make $10,000 but those nice ones are making $99,999. Both fall into '5 figures' but are really not close.

Not probably; this is exactly the case.

I'm sorry but i do NOT spend $15.00 a month to have the ability to spam "DPS LFG for X". I honest to god spent 7 straight days spamming LFG for War Games / Red Reaper before a group of 50's gave in and ran me through it to complete my quests. I dont play MMO's to "make friends" or build a community. I play MMO's to occupy time and escape reality of the real world. Im a patient person for the most part, but if it takes you DAYS to get a group for something, than there are issues with the game. When i started on my server it was full, now during prime hours there are 80-100 tops on the fleet. Most of which are 50's who i see spamming for raids before giving up. It doesnt matter if you are in a guild or have hundreds of friends. Not everyone wants to do the same thing you do all the time. I am not level 50 and dont want to get there for awhile, but i do enjoy being able to run flash points IF you get lucky and find a group doing it.

LFG should have been inplace on launch. Games need to wake up and learn what the playerbase wants, whats successful with your competition and put it out at the beginning, not wait MONTHS to put in standard tools.

During the downtrend of activity before a patch, yes having a good portion of servers at standard is perfectly acceptable.

If this was the day after a major content patch then it would be something to be concerned with, but since its not... its not.

3 months in to a game...yes, its a concern. If this was the 2nd expac and we were in-between patches, yea maybe. Not 3 months into the game. There should be more then 43 people on fleet atm.

Everytime I see this threads title I think of this little scene from airplane.
