Can we all please go back to the discussion of the fact that indeed server populations are almost nihil on some servers.

Good call.

Asia/Pacific server transfers have started. North America will follow. Until then you're either stuck in a low population environment, or you have the option to re-roll, which sucks, because you have to do it all over again.

The population of this game will decrease over time, spike during patches and expansions, and decrease again.

How do I know that? I must be some kinda fortune teller or farseer or something.

The fact that I am still playing this game is because of one game that is not released yet (15 May). But then again i love playing MMORPG'S but on my server (Tassaa Bareesh) I feel like I am playing a sort of Co-op game with just the 30 people of my guild (of the 90-120 people on republic side). Bioware for the love of any God please let us known that you are working on this issue. And i know that this has already been discussed on another site by one of your employees and not here ( As not to scare of investors? Sry cant find the source now).

Do something about this

A concerned Bioware customer.

/sigh...seems like such an easy solution doesn't it? what are the odds we'll see it implemented?

From a Dev's standpoint something like this is never easy.

What i would suggest is lets say a server closes down. Everyone who logs in get a screen that they have 1 week(longer maybe?) to move to another server with friends/guilds/whatever.

Only servers with the lowest populations will be shown in the list of servers you can select and also an automatic query has been done to see if your name and those of your alts are avaible.

If Some names are in conflict you have the choice to make some changes. ( I hope noone dies of changing a name?)

After a month said server will be permamently closed and the lower population servers can get normal - heavy pops.

I think you auto move all the characters to the server. Allowing only a week could mean someone who is busy or otherwise not logged on would lose their characters? Kinda seems harsh.

I feel that most of the EU servers are very low in population and something needs to be done about it. I think merging some servers is a good idea because am sick of struggling to find people to do quests with. The max I have ever seen any one location at is about 30 players which is a tad balls.
I just want EA to *********** respond and tell us what they are going to do or even what they are thinking about doing, show us you are looking in to this!!

Well gee whiz. Guess I'm a fanboy defender then. But since the game will be around long after most griefers implode and leave to vandalize the next new MMO's community, I'll just be patient. Funny thing ... patience. How often it is mistaken for blind ignorance by those who lack it.
Can we please just have our pre-KotFE SWTOR MMORPG back?
