Its funny, I saw a post yesterday asking for server mergers because the guy was mad that there was a queue on The Fatman server now; the very same cries that got the game into this mess in the first place. If it weren't so sad, it'd almost be comical.
You know, I'd LOVE to see a queue right about now.

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).
Its a lot more then you think.
Meanwhile, in Tera general chat -

I see queues on my server ToFN on regular basis recently, new people are coming and it looks like plenty of people have re rolled there.

But it's a small fraction of the subscription base.

They have. The goal is to provide character transfers in late April for Asian servers; later for other regions. They have also stated that server mergers are very unlikely.

Are you out of your mind? Look at the server list and see how many are always light? Every single person on those servers, whether they frequent the forums or not - and most do not, are begging for action to be taken.

Someone mentioned the same 20 people who cry about this, these threads have been started over countless of times, and by that logic one could say the same 20 people crying about the 1.2 armour - to which the devs addressed in the devtracker.

This issue is MUCH MORE IMPORTANT then armour and yet no response, why? Because clearly they want to have something positive when they DO responsd and as of right now they do not.

Can we get actual qoutes or links for this info. I really am interested on this happening. Bioware is fooling them selves if they think mergers are not going to be needed. Look at Rift. they had a similar amount of launch servers and now they are down to 16. Please pull your head out of your butt BioWare.

Hm y'know, if bioware and EA really are just shy about merges because it's bad PR, why not just hurry up and make a nice easy system to transfer servers? Its not as good of an options, and leaves dead servers even more dead, but its a compromise, and at least I can play a multiplayer game again.

Is it?

Are they?

Ok, once you provide proof that as you claim, everyone on every light server feels this way, you will get a possible affection gain, but until then, I believe your "facts" are coming from the same place you appear to be talking from.
