And are you going to compensate us for the money we have put into things on our current characters? BW is definitely not going to, so maybe you should give us your email address and we can all send receipts of Real money purchases which are so disposable to you.

 

As I said earlier, stop living in a pond. Everyone here has a community that they enjoy playing with. However, to stay at the top end of progression raiding etc, we dont have the population that will support raiding on 4 Alts every week. This is just me personally, I would love to Down TFB HM/EC NiM on all 4 of my toons every week, and for that I need more people as at the moment, its very hard on MDN to pug anything.

 

However, if you are happy with wiping on Operator some 4 months after release, and you consider flapping in your PJs and calling each other random names and selling speeders all day, then yeh you will be happy playing with the same 5 people all the time. But thats not what the majority of the community wants.

 

As has been said, Merge and give transfers so that you all can then transfer to the kids server so that people dont look at you wierd while you sell speeders.

 

"And are you going to compensate us for the money we have put into things on our current characters?"

That is exactly what I am talking about. The $ you have put into your character > community. Therefore, you don't want a community to partake in, you want more players to facilitate the growth of your character. You are a perfect example of the individualisation of communities in MMO's, and in the real world.

All in all, regardless of what Bioware do, people will whinge and complain. This is one of the only MMO's with Oceanic servers, there was such a fuss over getting the servers here. The debate, to Bioware, was always whether or not it would be worth it. Well, was it? Look at the results? It's a ****fight. People should be happy there are oceanic servers at all, and if playing in a community was as important as everyone claims, we would get together and work out which server we would all re-roll in. But nope, our invested characters/names/legacy IS more important than actually forming an online community. That's the bottom line here. For those of us who have bothered to form our own communities, there is not much to whinge about, we play together and enjoy the game none the less. Maybe we should stop waiting for Bioware to do something and take responsibility for our own enjoyment?

Jus sayin'

In the survey I'm conducting the trend has changed for those who like RP

Now only 60% are for a merger. With the following attitudes:

 

How would an APAC server merger affect your attitude towards playing SWTOR?

I would subscribe/re-subscribe to the game . . . . 15.79% . . . . 3

I would play/play more . . . . 57.89% . . . . 11

I would want to transfer to back to APAC servers. . . . . 0% . . . . 0

I would unsubscribe from/quit the game . . . . 15.79% . . . . 3

I would play less . . . . 15.79% . . . . 3

I would want to transfer off APAC servers . . . . 15.79% . . . . 3

 

I just did that survey. The problem I see with it is that it seems anyone can do the survey over and over. This means the results can be easily skewed by anyone who bothers to do it over and over.

 

Also, how about this. Merge PVE+PVP, leave the RP'ers with a choice to transfer over. Done.

Hey folks! Thank you for all of your suggestions. As I mentioned earlier, we're going to review these and see what we can do. I'll be sure to update when we have anything new. In the meantime, please keep the ideas coming!

 

Awesome! Hopefully we get a server merge!
