Its far more helpful than people who blindly defend the devs, do you truely belive that they could not get server transfers up before sometime in the summer? Did you truely believe the devs when they announced that they are not losing subs and populations were fine right after they gave everyone a free month?
So, it is fueled by emotion over logic.

Personally, I don't blame you. Server transfers really need to happen ASAP. And it is happening ASAP. So, we're set.

That's my guess. It's a form of poisoning the well, though frankly it's likely a futile gesture since so few who bought/play this game come here to peruse the forums.

Yeah, that's just underhanded, dirty, and uncalled for.

I was going by the servers that arent marked as "light" on swtors own server list. and who cares if its 5 or 15, this is a brand new triple A game, if i was a dev and saw those numbers i would be getting my resume ready and it wouldnt have swtor on it.
50 and number 16. so how many ppl playing then, couple thousnd then across all servers. i loged in my server it was 20 ppl my server The Arkanian Legacy. its nothing what we can do wait until server merge

You are confusing expectations with experience, ive been playing mmo's since eq1 and ive tried all of the AAA mmo's since. when an mmo falls past a certain point they rarely if ever return, no matter how well they are fixed. when you release an mmo you get one shot, if it flops in the first year it will never be what it could have been. Id rather not see swtor go down that road.

This I would agree with, yes. That said, SWTOR has not even come close to that point. Its doing far better than is common for successful titles at this point in their life span.

That actually makes some sense. The question then arises: From whence did these expectations come? For my part, I'd heard of the game a little bit prior to its release but didn't know much about it. My only MMO experience was some free WoW play time, so no real experience there.

Then I saw the game was by Bioware, so figured it would be a bit like KOTR online and a good opportunity to play cooperatively with my wife. So far, that seems to be the case, so none of my expectations were shattered. Don't care for different classes all pretty much doing the same missions, but it's not a game-breaker for me.

Especially given that TOR actually has more deviation away from same quesltines for every class than any other MMO. Let me tell you, leveling alts in WoW, RIFT, EQ2, etc. was almost grueling. TOR is an altaholics dream come true.

I love this game a lot but it's to late for me to re-roll on another server. Especially since I am almost positive they won't be transferring your legacy system over and maybe not even all your alts. So yes I defiantly say too little to late as well, and if you can't see why me and other people keep saying this its because you don't have 20-40 people on your server at peak times, yes server not fleet. I love to pvp in this game on top of rolling multiple alts, but I just can't wait 2 hours for a que, its too much. It is not just me either, everyone of the light servers populations has dropped tremendously over the last 3 weeks, to the point where the population is just to low to do anything. Yeah great that 1.3 will have a LFG tool in it, but unless its x-server its absolutely pointless for all the light servers. Lets que up and see who out of 20 people want to do the same dungeon I want...... hm.....ya absolutely no one. Its of my opinion that they also need merge servers and bring it to like 10 healthy servers. I don't care if there is a 1 hour que. As long as there is **** to do when I get in the game I would be stoked. Yes I think this game is great, yes I think they are going in a great direction, however they are killing their own game and sub numbers by letting everyone who isn't on 5 servers just unsub for the lack of no population. In the end Bioware only has itself to blame for killing this game. Unless there is a server merge with the next two-four weeks this game will fade away into the nothing. Which makes me a sad panda, no wow reference intended. I will most likely be playing Tera or Firefall, or GW2, but I must say I wasn't impress this last weekend not one bit.

And this is where we disagree, I think it is very close to that point. With servers in the shape they are in are seriously hurting this game and that is only one problem (but by far the largest) this game has right now. Now consider the overhead cost of this game and how much more successful it has to be than say Rift to have a future.
