I do understand that some of you are frustrated.

If it is any consolation, it's quite frustrating watching you be frustrated. If only there was some way you could fix your problem...

If only the developers would listen to you, and respond... like they did here in this post over a month ago...

The character transfer system is being actively worked on by the development team. It's a large, complex project, made more complicated by the Legacy System - and it has to work perfectly. As always, it is not the only task the team as a whole is undertaking, but it's a priority. It has not been deliberately delayed, nor is it being 'held back' for any reason. As you know, the first stage of the system will be a one-off, optional transfer for those who are based in the regions defined in our FAQ. At some point after that, we'll bring a more fully-featured character transfer system online for all to use.

Considering how game breaking the issue is I think we're long overdue for an update or something to at least give us a sense of confidence that they are actually working on the issue. I honestly couldn't care less about any information they release about the game unless it's information on how they're going to fix the low population server issue. Why should I care about 1.2 when there is no multiplayer on my server? The game is broken for me until they fix the server population issue.

That's a fine quote for those who believe character transfers will fix the problem
And don't get me wrong, they will... sort of. But they will also break up a lot of in-game friends, community, rivalry, etc...

Also, when people jump ship off of their low-pop servers, there will always be people left behind for whatever reason, so the remaining, EMPTIER servers would have to be merged at some point.

So yes, we know they announced transfers are coming, but we want to know if that's their only proposed solution.

Seriously? I bet you enjoy playing in one of the 3 high pop servers.

Dont understand why people are frustrated? Let see we are paying 15$ to play a single player game. How about that? Most of the servers are dead and fleets can peak 50, heck some servers fleets cant even peak 20.

The more we complain about the faster something will be done. People also have been quitting the game just on this sole reason. EMPTY SERVERS. Yes bioware knows, yes they are PLANNING to do something but Guild Wars 2 and Diablo 3 are not far off, by the time action is taken it will be too late and then we have another Warhammer Online.

Transfers wont solve the problem, merges do, we dont need 126 servers, we need 30.

Game is dead. GW2 and TSW will be here soon. Not even bothering to care anymore. Bioware has hit rock-bottom anyway and is not the company it used to be anymore.

I want to refresh you memory with this post

No matter what Bioware does you will be complaining about empty servers queue or not full server or not. Transfers will solve the problem for those that want to play and not complain.

Also there are a ton of disillusioned beta tester right now on the GW2 beta forum it wasn't the messiah that they envisioned...so you might want to stop using that as a threat.

Well if people have friends community rivalry and all of that their server isn't dead now is it?
Further, there are a lot of people that will stay on those lighter servers because they play with their guild or their couple of friends and they could are less who else is on that server and forcing them to move and possibly change their primary and legacy name is unfair. stop thinking of only your circumstances.

Yep those games will be out soon. Then you will be posting on their boards how that game fails and how sad it is! You will be complaining on their boards as loud as you are here. And when they don't meet your expectations you will be claiming they are dead!

You must live in a sad little world!

If you were dissatisfied and disappointed with ToR, GW2 will not be much better.
Meanwhile, in Tera general chat -

"The sad thing is, arguing with fanbois on the forums was more entertaining than their 300 million dollar single player MMO from 2008"

I dont need to claim anything. US server with my lvl 50, fleet population at peak hour 20-30 people. EU server where most of my Empire chars are 30-40 at peak hours.
And I seriously doubt GW2 will end up like Swtor, TSW is possible though.
