You guys aren't complaining about queue times now, but wait until you're in a 16 person operation and have 3 people DC with an hour wait to get back in. It's stupid and Bioware should have been on top of this LONG before we got to this point. As soon as servers were dieing, they should have been doing mergers.

It happened tonight. Our raid had to stand around for an hour to wait for 3 people to get back online to finish an operation.....that is dumb.

Fix it Bioware, and now. Stop coding legacy garbage and fix the server issues. Pay people overtime and work them weekends. I have to do that when my projects are behind schedule.

When we asked for mergers (before migrating to Fatman) we were told to suck it up and reroll... guess what we did cus our servers were unplayable. I rerolled 4 times before settling on fatman which was for a couple of months the only server that would read heavy every night. At least you never had to leave your toons behind and start from scratch ... you got it easy. Is not our fault our servers died.

Behold the great hypocrisy of internet children!

Really guys? Everyone complains that the servers are dying and dead and the most popular server people are whining about queues? Its like complaining about how hard it is to find parking for the World Series, that you'd much prefer that you were going to see some crappy minor league team from Michigan.

NOBODY IS EVER HAPPY!

I roll my eyes in the Fatman's general direction.

I'm going to Fatman until they merge my server or let me transfer off it for free.

My account was one of the first to log into The Fatman on the morning of release. First wave 7:30am. ALL of my characters are on this server. I have 3 lvl 50s, a 47 and a 33. Having to queue to play solely because so many people are re rolling there is a bit frustrating. I dont blame those that are coming to The Fatman because it is a great server, I fully blame Bioware for allowing this situation to occur without lifting a finger to fix it.

Here is my very simple fix for this... Preferential queuing based on Legacy level. The original accounts that started on that server should generally have a higher legacy level than new re rolls. Simply allow queue preferential log in based on that level. New people that are re rolling can queue until they have built up enough Legacy to jump in line. Those of us that have been there since the very beginning can at least play the only characters we have.

This is not a good idea.

What about people who have been there since day 1 and don't play that much? Also, you do realize that some people would never get to play then, since they can't get in to raise their legacy level?

Servers with 'heavy' average populations should not allow new players to join them. This will focus more people into the lesser populated servers. This goes for players re-rolling characters into that server as well.

It's better to annoy a single player by not allowing them to join a heavy server than it is to force the rest of the server's population to be annoyed that they can't get any pvp in.

In fact, you don't even need to annoy new players. Heavy servers should simply be omitted from the list unless you already have a character on them.
