This is Evgen88 on my kids account.
My account subscription has lapsed and apparently F2P can't post on the forums . . .
The thing is, for the US and EU server merges it wasn't the best thing for everybody, that upset a lot of people too.
The the whole "we can't make everyone happy, so we aren't doing anything" line is garbage.
And instead of randomly taking some opinions and making a conclusion I took a survey and from about 20 responses till 100, 80-85% of the responses were in favour of server merges.
Another thing is these aren't Bioware servers, they are EA servers, and I'm sure the only reason we have them in the first place is that EA already had most of what was needed in Sydney in the first place. Otherwise they likely wouldn't have ever had APAC servers. Reducing from 3 to one mega server, which is probably a cluster anyway, isn't going to be a problem.
Also, a lot of the players here, are only playing because there are low latency servers. Moving to West coast isn't an option.
For me, I don't care what they do, just something needs to be done. Those happy with the way things are are in the small minority.
And even though this thread may be losing activity, it's not because we don't care, it because people who aren't paying can't post their opinions, which will be me soon. I'm sure a lot of others are in this boat too.
I like this game and want to play more, but this lack of action and communication is abhorrent. So my own and the 2 accounts for my kids aren't paying for this horrible service any more.
Edit: Doing something about the APAC servers will bring me back to the game. Paid updates won't, and will infact make me regret every yen I have ever spent on this game. I think better updates will be required to keep the game going though.
