REAL EASY FIX, Take a lesson from Blizzard and make a cross server flash point search. Server transfers will be something I will take advantage of as there are rarely anyone playing on my server. But the reason I want to switch is run flash points. Pre dungeon search in wow a player did not get to run many level specific dungeons unless they were in a guild, spammed trade to get one together or got a run through from a friend. After the installation of a cross server dungeon match system leveling a toon was totally different. You were then able to run all of the content (dungeons) as you leveled up. That totally opened up the game. Guilds are all fine and dandy but you can not always rely on them. The best thing ever that Blizzard did was to have a cross server dungeon search which is something this game needs badly. A server transfer will help my chances but a cross server matching system would make transfers really not necessarily for me personally.

You realize the addition of features such as this is the reason cited by a fair amount of the SWTOR community for leaving WoW in the first place, don't you?

The software coding for cross realm looking for groups is going to take a much longer time than character transfers. I highly doubt Blizzard will just tell a competitor how to do it and hiring an ex Blizzard employee to tell them how isn't an option either because there is typically NDA agreements with that type of work.

I'm playing out my last 47 days. If they don't at the least add in cross server I am done. They knew the servers were going to be relatively small at launch the way they capped them. I'm not claiming to know all the numbers but it was obvious that on release day when my server had a 10-15 queue that even then it had nowhere near the population as a heavy or even medium server in WoW. It's impossible to have a MMO without the 'massively multiplayer' bit. Merges/xfers would be great but I still don't think these servers can handle WoW numbers. Cross server queues is what we need IMO.

I'm happy that atleast a few paid forum posters can make an extra $ on this thread along with the merge servers thread. So atleast someone benefits from our downfall.

They haven't said anything other than there will be some free transfers available, followed by paid transfers. Bioware wrote only three sentences, all of which are pretty straightforward. And from there people have come up with some pretty wild assumptions how what is going to happen.
