When will there be a "SERVER MERGE?"

When we talk about mergers we mean merging the servers that have few players on them. The ones like mine, Naddist Rebels, that never never is full, and usually is light, even on a Sunday afternoon (no fanboy, I am east coast and this supposedly is an east coast server). We dont mean merging together the three servers that are full.

Merges could not come fast enough.

I wasn't that guy, but I agree with him.

Raising the population cap stifled the growth and expansion of lower population servers, as players who would have had to roll on them were instead able to roll on the higher population ones.

So yes it is all your fault, I'm afraid.

For guild purposes i think, a lot of guilds move together to a new game then get bored and go back to the old one, i guess this lets people bring their guild from another game into SWTOR for a free trial

Agreed, this game is loosing people, and its only gonna keep loosing people as server populations continue to diminish. Merging servers/allowing free transfers will let people move to more active places and would do a lot in rejuvenating peoples love for the game.

euro server merge would be a good idea, im on frostclaw and it has been dead for weeks

He quoted someone talking about Cross Server Flashpoint Finder. I was referring to the whole community garbage being thrown about to try and stop such a thing from coming into play. Had nothing to do with mergers, which I don't consider to destroy a community.

They will destroy a games reputation, however. It is not my fault that you and others cannot understand this concept.

how was asking them to raise the cap a bit on servers at launch my fault. Anchorhead is Light and Standard most of the time, All servers were full at launch and have died off. I am not to blame for any of this fiasco to be honest. Fact of the matter is that they did not account the people that would powerlevel through everything get to 50, have nothing to do and quit before their first month of paid subscription.

I think you might be taking "You" a bit literally in this case. It cannot be denied that there was a lot of crying about queue times when the game started. His claim is that these same people, who Bioware created more servers (this is the part where Bioware should have known better; they opened too many servers) to appease, are now complaining that their server is dead when those of us who said to stop complaining about queue times at launch said it would happen.

I can see why server mergers appeal to some. Because they are free. They require nothing on your part and don't cost you anything. But they do cost Bioware...it costs them reputation. Few people will fault them for opening too many servers (I believe most other MMOs fell for this same temptation to appease the impatient; Bioware should have learned from their mistakes, honestly). But you cannot deny (well, shouldn't deny, were you rational) that server mergers are bad PR for any game.

Just for the record, dissenting opinions are not trolling. So you may consider me trolling for saying mergers aren't coming, but we all know what happens the second they start mergers. The Internet explodes with cries of "SWTOR near death as they begin merging servers." You think any new blood is going to come play a game like that, regardless of how many subs it has. Hell no.

If someone can show me some healthy MMOs that merged servers and didn't suffer for it, please do so. I'd love to see which ones they were.

Some customers aren't worth the effort to try and keep.

They would be bad for publicity. I know this low pop issue seems dire, and it just might hold a bit more merit, if it weren't the same 20 people crying about it over and over in these threads (yes, it's more than 20, but you know what I mean).
