It's too late for that. The Fatman is a broken server now until they offer transfers.
I deny your reality and substitute my own.

Maybe I'm being ignorant due to not having a lot of experience with MMORPGs but is this the norm? To have such a disparaging difference between the most populated and least populated servers?

I know right, but people will complain that they have to wait when they could be on a dead server and have no on to play with.
Relabeling future patches as Expansions, just like EA Louse said a year ago. Who got the last laugh?

It's actually quite balanced in other MMOs, SWTOR has a very unhealthy server balance atm.

How anyone posts anything about The Fatman being full with a straight face, I have no idea.

Server: The Fatman
Status: Very Full

Should be this all the time, regardless of actual traffic.

For recent MMOs yes, too many servers upon release so people don't complain about queues only to have people leave, stop playing as much, etc and then servers have to be merged and transfers have to occur. Like taking an overdose of morphine because you feel pain and then being in a coma for a month because of it.

If they do offer free transfer should be to high pop servers. I never understood why Blizzard offered free xfers to dead servers. It never worked. People just quit or pay to xfer after a few weeks of being on a a dead server.

It's a result of Bioware's mistake of opening WAY too many servers , and now putting it's head in the sand and refusing to take the hit and admit they need immediate merges or at the very least one time free transfers so folks on dead servers can move to the ones of their choice.

I rerolled on the Fatman before I finally decided SWTOR really is not a game at all for PVP folks , and the short time I was there it was at least more like an actual mmorpg.

Their statement of server populations are healthy is laughable at best.

Those that want to keep playing and not be on a dead server for months until they finally do whatever it is they are going to do are taking it upon themselves and rerolling on the top 2 or 3 servers because the server populations are not healthy for many servers.

Bioware just is cluess or forced to lie be EA , or maybe both.

Which begs the question, why are there so many servers at launch?! (Which then is easily answered by "So everyone who plays at launch has a place to play!")
