Because people who have genuine concerns are labelled 'whiners' and should be blamed for the game's imperfections - because BW changed the game fore their benefit.

If you are content with the servers as they are - why are you in this thread? Were paying customers, were getting short changed. If people have complaints, let them complain for gods sake!

This. People need to stop trying to defend the game and realise THIS IS A SERVICE WHICH WERE PAYING FOR AND NOT GETTING. If you dont like that someone else is complaining - tough! Its life. I wouldn't feel the need to defend Mc Donalds if someone finds a spider in their burger- thats their business NOT MINE!

Finding a viable way to differentiate people with the same name (a main gripe with server mergers) would make a lot of people rest easier with the idea.

Coming from a full/bursting server (Dalborra - Asia/Pacific), my experience has been excellent.. but I have played at 5am on a weeknight at times, and I can see what people mean when talking about 'ghost towns' and such.

You don't bother trying to group for Heriocs/FPs etc because of the effort required to put together a 3-4 man group to do it.. lucky for me I know I can leave those missions till the next day when the population is back to massive again, but for some this is not possible whatsoever.

Would people be against a mk1/mk2/mk3 system if by chance the same name conflict cropped up occasionally with mergers?

Personally I'd go with this:

1) Active account & inactive account at time of merger, active account wins name conflict inactive account has to pick a new one on reactivation.

2) Two active accounts, existing character gets the name just as with a transfer and the merged character has to rename.

This quote from an article in the Wall Street Journal statement really makes me cringe in regards to the current problems facing the game, the foremost of which is the server populations.

"During a conference call, EA chief executive John Riccitiello noted that a higher mix of the “Star Wars” subscriber count is made up of paying subscribers than it was in the previous quarter. He also downplayed the significance of the title somewhat, noting that the company has bigger franchises that are more important to its overall business."

But you would still hear:
Based on the percentages finding a spider in only one burger is GOOD. Stop complaining and praise McDonalds.
You should re-roll down to the next McDonalds and get a burger there. Beside that MickyDs is busier and is now offering the McRib which obvoiusly makes it the best fast food around.

they gonna do server merge in early summer???
that's about 2 months.
sorry bioware but my account ends in june and if by then there's no server merge i will not extend my subscription.
i'm not gonna pay again to play with 6 ppl on a planet .
and i think many of us think the same so you gonna lose a lot of players.
love the game love mmo cause it's social but that means there must be ppl online to play with.
right now this game is like the titanic ,sinking way to fast .
SO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT AND QUICK
thank you
