When will there be a "SERVER MERGE?"

WOW is having the same problem, servers are becoming empty. But at least you can transfer there :/

Bioware should just offer a 1 off free transfer to another server from ones which have low activity. Instead of forcing players from 1 server on to another they may not like.

Actually, this "kid" has been playing video games since they were loaded by waiting for 10 minutes while a cassette tape reeled its way through a tape recorder into a TRS-80, so that he could play a game with an 80x25 resolution in monochrome color.

Darth Vader's TIE fighter looked like this, literally: <-O->

My server died out within about a month of launch.

I am currently playing on a much more populated server because I chose to improve my gaming experience without sitting around waiting for someone else to do it for me.

I've already had to change two of my character names, as they were already taken. I left behind 5 frequently played characters on my old server with a few hundred hours of /played time, 117 levels of XP and a Legacy XP of almost 6. My original and highest character was a Trooper Commando, and I have re-rolled a new Trooper Commando on the new server with almost the same spec, meaning it's almost the EXACT same playing experience from my old character on Rubat Crystal.

Yet I am having a tremendous time now, because the server I am on is full server and has plenty of people to group up with, run Heroics and Flashpoints with, and come across in open world PVP. It also has a bustling economy and a fun community.

The reason I really don't care anymore (except to keep posting these responses for the few of you reading these threads who might be encouraged to actually abandon the QQ Party and have a more fun time playing the game) is that it's hard to have sympathy for someone who has been whining on a forum for weeks about server populations when the only thing you had to do to fix it was click Server Selection, choose a better server, create a new or similar character, and start having fun again.

I'll say it again. It's either impatience, mindlessness, or your determination to stay in an "unacceptable" experience that's keeping you where you are.

Most everyone at this point who are blaming BioWare for their troubles in this regard are doing nothing more than projecting their own failure to act onto others...

excuse me MR. but i aint starting a new char on a different server when i have 3 50's in a dead server called Trayus Academy. I lose all my legacy investment, over70 valor rank, all those purple schems i RE'd if I do that.

And some people have jobs, kids etc. They don't have that spare time to start a new char.

I don't get the point why u feel like you have to defend the current broken situation. As a veteran you shouldn't be selfish and you should hear what ppl say and support them because we are actually not trolling. We are enjoying the game and want to keep on playing.

Those sacrifices you claim doing, abandoning your chars mean nothing to me. I don't have to follow populated servers, grind, do all those quests again and again in a game which i PAY a monthly fee. This is has nothing to do with improving game experience.

This is not a free game. I personally never troll forums for stupid reasons and i mostly adapt game mechanics. But this situation is different. We are not whining about nerfing a class, armor looks or other stupid things. We are complaining about a broken game mechanic and as for myself i keep on doing this because it has to be heard and sth must be done by BW immediately.

If some action is taken and announced soon it will be good for the future of the game and it will even be good for you MR. Because what i understand from forum posts lots of more ppl including myself will cancel subs. Personally i will wait untill the end of April, see 1.2 and decide. If no transfer action is announced im outta here till transfers come out. See that i love the game and want to keep on playing.

But not under these conditions.

Guess ill log one of my toons that is located on a light population server and tell the whole 14 people at fleet 1 pm on a sunday that too many servers isnt the problem, its the community.
Thank you so much for showing us the truth! Wee!!!

Not all servers are dead, only about 95% of them.

There's 10 servers with decent populations.

Please please please give us server xfers and merges. You guys have a 100+ devs working on this game. Get it together and at least give us a DETAILED description of when and what will happen, Otherwise, I'm dropping my sub as will a ton of others. I'm not waiting until the end of April for an announcement that won't come.

Do you realize we're asking to merge the low population servers?
