  1. People should be able to express themselves. I quit when I want and sub when I want. But if people are upset and un subbing they should be able to express it without being squelched by the powers to be. Try that trick on google reviews and see what happens. Criticize something you are un happy with. Everyone does it in 2024. Broadsword just does not like it just like most people getting criticized. That is why the topic got nuked. Because they can.
  2. You are wayyyyyyyy over playing this "the sky is falling, everyone will immediatly unsub" thing. I have been thru many server mergers and if anything the populations grow as soon as it happens. I have never experienced what you are saying in any game I have ever played that merged servers. Actually I experienced the exact opposite including right here in swtor. I know you personally do not want to merge servers, but just because you do not, please refrain from the sky is falling and the end of the world is here comments. If they merge the NA servers and EU servers the absolute first thing you will see immediately is a surge of players from Leviathan, and Tulek Horde, and Sateel Shan returning to this game in force. So many people on those 3 servers do not play because they do not want to transfer all their stuff and pay to go to an active server like DM or SF. The exact opposite effect will take place on day 1 of the mergers. It will be like a breathe of fresh air for thousands of people who no longer play.
  3. There is no meat left on the bone. That ship sailed. It is time to stop beating that horse. Just merge them and lets get it over with.
  4. If they would have launched the server without any restrictions like they should have, transferring more than 16 would not have to be fixed. I swear they do this on purpose just to see how much you will take before they break your will to play this game. Non of my friends play this game anymore. I am the last man standing and am laughed at every time I mention I still play this game. Sad
  5. Wow. That is some stuff. I really do not know what to respond to all of this other than to say I am very simply saying we need to get down to 3 servers. 1 NA, 1 EU, and 1 APAC. This is not rocket science and it is not re inventing the wheel here. It is really simple stuff. We need to consolidate servers for the sake of a healthy game into the future. I am not looking to rebuild the entire structure and all that. Maybe that could be a different thread at a different time. We have done server mergers many times in the past. We are not the first MMORPG to do so. All I am saying is that it needs to happen again and I think that will set this game up for a long time without having to deal with this for many many years. Why kick the can. Lets do it now and get it out of the way and make these galactic seasons (pvp pve) funner and more active.
  6. In your case, there is about a 99% chance you will actually get your original name back. Alot of those names have been taken and stagnant for many many years. To be honest I think the exact opposite way as you do. This complete name purge has been needed for years. And the population to the game itself is at a lower point now. With the opening of the apac server I recently transferred 16 toons there. I got every single name I wanted without even 1 hyphen. One particular name I have no had since I played SWG because it has always been taken. I think the exact opposite will happen of what you are worried about.
  7. I understand. Having been here since launch I have been thru many. Yes I understand you are not advocating for them. That is totally on me. I was simply referring to the mechanics of the transfer/mergers you explained to me. Thank you for explaining.
  8. I also have been here since launch. Here is my history. I started on the original Bastion. From there was forced into Shadowlands. From Shadowlands forced to Correllian Run. From Correllian Run to Prophecy of The Five. From there I paid to move all my toons to Harbinger. From Harbinger to Star Forge. I agree it is not the funnest thing to go thru however it is essential for a healthy MMORPG from time to time. I think that time is now.
  9. It seems that there is very little opposition to the idea that we have too many servers for the current player base. After consultation with my long time SWTOR friend Trixxie I came up with a simple and easily implemented short list to resolve the problem. 1. Broadsword will create 2 brand new servers. 1 NA and 1 EU. 2. Broadsword will lift any and all restrictions to transfers to APAC. 3. Once 1 and 2 are live all players (subbed or not subbed) will have the opportunity to server transfer any toon that is older than 60 days creation date to any of the 3 servers. All players will have 60 days to complete the server transfers before the forced server mergers take place. 4. All players (free or subbed) will have an option to pick which server their toons will be merged into. An example would be that I can pick my SS server toons to be merged to APAC. Or I can pick my SF toons to be merged into new EU server. The choice would be yours. If no choice is given, all NA toons will be automatically moved to new NA server and all EU toons will be merged into new EU server. 5. Any accounts that do not participate in the free server transfers or declare a destination will automatically be placed in the server closest to the original server. Example if you had toons on SF and SS they would be automatically be placed on the new NA server. Personally I think this need to take place sooner than later. I think the the iron on APAC might still be hot enough to make this happen and have 3 healthy servers to play on. My fear is that if too much time goes by, we might lose the APAC server forever and not be able to make it viable. Also I think it is important to get free to play, preferred accounts, and subbed accounts to all participate in this event. This is for the future and health of the entire player base, not just the subs. Thank you Trixxie for explaining the technical limitations to this. I was not aware of the option to pick a server to merge to was possible. I hope the dev team considers this sooner than later.
  10. Maybe 30 days of transfers and then whoever is left in x.y.or z server gets merged into x, ,y , or z server. Like you said SS, SF go into one, and 3 EU servers go into 1
  11. They wont need a new apac server, just lift any and all restrictions
  12. Exactly. This is not brain surgery. Broadsword make 3 brand new servers. One NA, one EU, one APAC. For 30 days people have the ability to packup any toons they want from any servers and move them to one of the three new servers. After 30 days the old 6 servers will be shut down and any returning players or characters that were not moved will have to pick one of the three servers upon logging into the game. It is that simple.
