I'll wager they're going to offer transfers from overpopulated servers like Fatman to underpopulated servers like Deadweight. Who in their right mind is going to go from a bustling metropolis to a ghost town? It's not like the gun laws are any different between the two. My server currently has 35. While people are at work. And school. Your point? You think this is different than any other MMO at 4 months old? Incidentally, in the evenings, there's typically 150 on the Fleet every day on my server, too. So counts at this time of day are completely useless. Also, they're more than likely going to offer free transfers from low-pop servers to standard servers, then cull a few low-pops. It's an MMO standard these days.

I get irritated if I see more than five on a planet. Stay out of my way. I own this planet. It's mine.
What would happen if the Galactic Empire had invaded Earth in 1998? My first gaming system: Timex Sinclair 1000!

I really liked what rift did and i think it worked well, i was originaly on a really low pop server so i rerolled to a better one, by the time i hit 50 again there was 2 hour log in ques at raid time. then they implemented the free server transfers, i advertised in the server forums (something swtor needs badly) for a new guild and found an awsome one on another server, moved to that server and had a great time.

I am really curious how this will play out. I had the misfortune of ending up on a server that isn't the worst of the worst, but with only 75 empire, and a repub side that gets about 15 at peak times, it's frustrating. A month ago I re-rolled to a higher pop server (Harbinger) in hopes that I could re-unite my 3 50's, and many game hours on Crucible Pits with the new character. Based on this Q&A, I see me having to pay to get my characters from the lower pop to the higher pop...... seems kind of BS if it shakes out this way. As much as I have put on a grin and tried to play through this lack of people to do anything with, I fear I may be at wits end with this population issue that has been allowed to get worse by the day.

Yeah i have a similar problem, i rerolled to the swiftsure from a server that isnt totaly dead but close enough, thinking i could bring my other 2 50's and 2 35's along with my level 30 legacy to the swiftsure, but now the swiftsure is doing really well and ill most likely have to pay to bring anything over. But who knows *** will happen, so i just quit playing period.

I'm not talking 40 people in fleet, I'm talking 40 people TOTAL. The issue is, this population barely fluctuates even in prime time hours. At MOST, we see 80 people, TOTAL. Rarely, you'll see more than 10 people in fleet. That's prime time. As for what method BioWare is likely to use? I suspect they will look at a list of possibilities as to how to manage selective transfers, choose the least effective method, put a bow on it and send it out to us. (Late, as well)
Westley, 50 Scoundrel, Deadweight Server Tech users, rise up against the force-user oppression!

You, and a couple more posters keep accusing people of lack of arguments but fail to discuss this in a logical manner, resorting to official releases as if they were the word of the allmighty. And by <insert deity>, do not dare question their statistics! You'll be branded a conspiracy theorist (as if the economics of big companies were that transparent and not subject to hype and speculation) and your opinion and experience counts for nothing. You sir, do more harm than good to this game.
