Zzzzzzzzzz
If there were so many people at any given time in my server I would be happy. I am playing in Bacca's Blade (EU) and at any time there are no more than 50 people from both sides logged in. It is absolutely impossible to do any flashpoints or operations in the server. Yesterday at peak time there where only 5 lvl 50 reps out of a total of 14 people.

I agree that servers need merged, or free transfers need offered.

Example:

(Both are East Coast PVP servers)

At 12 am today, there were 9 people in the starting world of Korriban on the "Veela" server, After talking to 2 of those people, I found many players left for "Fat Man" server. Lo and behold, I created a Sith on "Fat Man" and there were 87 people on Korriban!
May the Force serve you well.

I really hope we get some info on transfer or the like soon... Me and my friends (basically the empire side on my server) are getting frustrated. Come on Bio, talk to us!
I love the smell of lightsabers in the mornin'!

When you put this topic front and centre on the customer service page they always move them here cause they don't want to see it.

Needs to be priority. Bioware needs to realize that low population servers is what is driving customers away from World of Warcraft towards this game and the same thing is happening here, driving them away from the genre completely. You can add all kinds of cross-server features, but that is nothing but a band-aid, as evidenced by WOW's decline. Looking for Group or Raid isn't enough to stop the hemorrhaging.

Legacy and new content can wait.
I need about tree fitty.

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.
i agree with this completely saying you're out of patience with players on on low population servers whining or trolling. bioware encouraged to get a character to 50 and then too roll more alts. My legacy level is 22 i have 7 alts professions maxxed. I have a family and a job why should waste my time re-rolling on a high population.

Im not saying im unsubbing or anything i love this game and my kids love it. Im also paying for a service and it's massive and it's online but atm it isn't multiplayer. im a bioware fan but as a customer im also allowed to give constructive criticisms

And what happens to your char names, guild names etc? Maybe not everyone wants to lose them because of a merge, keep that in mind.

There is a reason why so many were mad at Warhammer and AoC when it happened and even Blizz didnt do it and there are some servers with hardly more than 100 active accounts...

Yeah, if they took away my name I would of quit in World of Warcraft in a second, that especially holds true for this game. They need to bite the bullet, realize Blizzard is smarter then them and knows more about MMORPGs and release a Cross Server Dungeon finder so this game can stop hemmorhaging subs.
Our lack of a proper LFD tool will black out the sun!
Then we shall cancel our subs in the shade!

I'm really hoping for a server merge. If i cant play flash points and cant enjoy the game to its full, then i fell its just another single player game, don't get me wrong i love the story a lot and its what makes me want to lv unlike other mmorpg ware its a grind and that's it.but when i want to go in and play with others to see what the new flash point holds for combat and gear i cant on account no one plays on my server. worst of all is i cant move my toon to a new server i have put so much time into my main to only move to another server and make a new guy. Its not fun to think hmmmm hope this server stays on a high pop and has a good community only to find out nope and have to go looking for another .
