Explain that thinking.


How about you go play the game and enjoy yourself instead of getting the the face of people who aren't having as good a time? I really am coming away with the impression that you and people like you are more likely to damage the game in the long run than any mis-steps BioWare might make. Pretending problems dont exist because they dont affect you won't do anything to improve the game and will only screw with building the communities it'll need to survive and properly feedback to the devs in the long run.
He probably has a set group of friends he plays with, and thinks that you should also have a set group of friends to play with. I think thats B.S., but watyagonna do.

I had your same problem. I left a lvl 42 BH and rerolled. It sucks that you might have to leave a high lvl toon, but rerolling will solve your problem.

I would recommend Ajunta Pall. My thoughts on SWTOR completely changed once I started playing on a high pop server.

Already did in February. Now I need to reroll again.

Meanwhile the other servers are becoming even more deserted.
How hard is it for people to understand someone elses point of view when themselves are enjoying the game on healthy population server.

Do you really think all these people hang around on the forums to post these things just because they just like to complain about nothing?
The people that are cramming the forums with complaints about server populations and how it makes them cry, are not really enjoying themselves are are just venting. Forums consist mostly of people that already have a complaint to begin with, and most will jump on any other that is getting a lot of attention. Its the nature of the beast, ask anyone who has been part of multiple MMO forum "communities" on both sides.

The people that are cramming into your server and other are the people that like the game and want it to be fun for them. Some of them might feel slighted and would complain your ear off if you would let them, but for the most pat they are playing and enjoying themselves. Also If as many people as your saying are getting off their collective asses and doing something about their situation that's a good sign, this game isn't doomed.

I shouldn't have to reroll just to be able to enjoy this game. BW created this problem by making too many servers at launch along with all the other problems in the game and the lack of timely patches (4+ months for 1.2 is WAY too long). My account is cancelled, the ball is in BW's court. I'm sure they're waiting for 1.2 and hoping it fixes the population problems ( I doubt it will). They better have a contingent plan ready to go quickly when 1.2 fails to address server population issues.

The reason people are hesitant to reroll is because of the loss of legacy. I abandoned a lvl 50 trooper with 15 legacy levels so i could move to the fatman. More people on hutta or fleet than on every planet i visited on mind trick combined. It sucks losing the legacy levels but when you spend 2 hours on the fleet trying to get a group to do some lvl 50 content you dont have much choice. 5 people on ilum. 8 on corelia. Yah a move was necessary.

Sigh, i give up. Everything is sunshine, lollipops and rainbows.
Everyone who disagrees are just trolling the forums.

Now back to to my perfect mmo experience with 27 other people online on the whole server ->

Dude if it mattered to you that much then you would have researched it. They are already working on server transfers. That's it. Don't play if you don't want to play.

Im not saying its right, its Biowaresw **** up. Yet if the only way for you to enjoy the game is on a heavy server (Its the only I can enjoy it by the way) then yes, you need to reroll again lol. I did a bunch of research before I rerolled, Ajunta Pall FTW

So you may either bash them over the head and scream and shout, or you can reroll on a more populated server for now and enjoy your time until then.

The option is yours.
Yes that can be done but why is bioware dragging its feet? The game will suffer more and we have an epidemic problem now!

Oh lovely swtor.

It's Saturday, Hedaar has been 'light' all day with a max of oh, 40 people on the fleet. I thought i would log in to see if any guildies wanted to run a normal KP since we're locked out of the nightmare stuff (and so i can gear my 4th 50 (an assassin)...2 guildies on, and 30 EFFIN PEOPLE ON THE FLEET.

So I log into the fatman, and 200 people on the pub side...I'm getting really pissed off that Bioware is not responding to this AT ALL, with zero attempt to fix this problem asap. This is more important then 1.2, nobody in their right mind will want to test the waters of 1.2 with a dead flipping server.

Why do I have to go on the fatman and level toons all over again when I have 4 50's and countless of alts on Hedaar Soongh. I should not have to pay for this, if Bioware wants me to populate other servers pay me monthly to do so.
