When will there be a SERVER MERGE?

Just before I unsubbed (a little over a week ago) me and my friend were the only people Hoth, besides one other dude. I could not stop laughing when I saw Hoth: 3.

One of the biggest main planets, on a "Standard" server (yea right) during peak times only had 3 people on the entire planet. And me and my friend were the other 2.

That means some other guy is roaming a huge wasteland of a planet (HEH literally, no pun intended) probably thinking the same exact thing.

Nah, don't need merges. Just need to have the players transfer off the dead ones and close them down.

And for the people who don't transfer or are not active? Are you going to "merge" them or "delete" them?

I have to say that seeing feedback related to not wanting to merge servers is strange to me. Server merges have been successfully done in a lot of mmo's and they should be done in TOR. Transfers only solve problems for people who want to transfer or who can afford to do that sort of thing. As a whole, I do not think transfers address the population issue effectively. I think merges would be a positive thing.

The fact is much of the decision making in life is driven by perceptions. The perception by a large quantity of people is that the game is dying which is based in large part on people not being logged into the game. What Bioware thinks at this point is irrelevant for the most part because the community is crying out for action which results in a rise in population on their individual servers. I am not sure why there would be a stance against merges as the few negatives are far outweighed by the positives. I would give up my toon name for example if it meant the active population of my server was increased by a factor of 4.

So out of curiosity mostly, I decided to visit the Tera website. I admit I dont know anything about that game. I decided to look at the server status page. I noticed one important thing.......SERVER TRANSFERS!!! TERA has server transfers while mr. high and mighty SWTOR does not. What is wrong with this picture?

Thats it I'm done with this game. And yes you can have my stuff. I really doubt I will be back. Dont know where Im going. Perhaps Diablo, GW2, .....maybe Tera. Just anywhere but this mess.

We need to merge servers without a doubt

Tera also has a functioning LFG and like, 1000s of people per server.

Well, if they do what Rift did very successfully last year, once the server goes down, the ones that didn't transfer merely picks a server, clicks "Login" and that fast everything is transferred. A name prompt if there happens to be a conflict. It was easy, painless, and just as fast as simply logging in.

Don't forget to mention that LFG and server transfers at launch are the first time in MMO history. TOR has plenty of its own "firsts". No need to take 'em all.

a fix two months away is not a fix. There will be irreparable damage done to the community far before then. It needs to be two weeks away... not early summer... more like by end of may.
