  1. So reps, thanks, I appreciate the communication. But accuracy of that communication is still severely lacking. I know the statements are from two different reps, but communication + accuracy is key. And if you guys can't get things right (repeated backpedaling, inaccurate statements), why are you "reps" in the first place? Doesn't that indicate a poorly done job? I'm not sure if it's the reps' fault or Bioware/EA's fault of someone feeding you inaccurate information, but this pattern hasn't changed. Always this cycle... 1.) Bioware reps communicate with us. 2.) Info turns out to be inaccurate and either changed, withdrawn, or backpedaling. 3.) Bioware doesn't communicate with us because they're afraid to give incorrect information 4.) Repeat. How can we stop this cycle? What can we do as a community to change this? I don't think there's much we can do, so the ball has sort of been resting in your court from day one. And you guys wonder why the forums rage? Indeed. makes you wonder.
  2. As for the European servers, no clue why they're not included today? How many EU servers are left?
  3. May be they are building up towards a ransom for German beer shipped overnight to Texas?
  4. Ouch. So where's this "evaluating" and testing Bioware is doing of these transfers if destination servers are already very full with login queues? Why not spread out the population a bit more Bioware? *sigh* This could be a fixable problem if we weren't stuck with server-transfers-on-rails and could opt where to go.
  5. Thank you. Wow, I'm thanking a mod. That's a new one on these forums for me.
  6. Of course the low server pop (spread too thin) caused more damage because the community was excited at launch and would be there no matter what happened with the server config. But the real problem since launch was... Servers were not robust enough to handle larger populations. They really needed fewer servers, but higher capacity, faster, more robust servers at launch to handle larger populations. Then instead of going from just active enough to almost dead, they would have gone from bustling like mad to just active enough. The secondary problem was planet/area design was too narrow/bottlenecked to handle a large population doing quests at the same time without all this sharding cr@p (multiple maps/instances).
  7. Yup, I did that a month ago and gave them constructive feedback, none of which has been addressed yet. I sort of wish I waited until these server transfers so I could give them all of my complaints about that as well.
  8. If that happens again, I really, really hope Bioware learned its lesson from this transfer-on-rails. I don't want to see history repeat itself, even though that's the de facto of destiny.
  9. Personally, I don't have much to lose in the short run. Not playing TOR anyways. May be that's why I'm not scream-ranting as much as some others? I still call Bioware out on this crud though. So my complaints are really looking more towards the future of TOR. I'd love to come back one day, renew my sub, and enjoy TOR again with new content, new planets, new cap, new classes, and with guildies and plenty of PUGers on an active server. But I don't see that happening anytime soon, and with these transfers, I don't see me being on any active server without sacrificing something, let alone with a guild that's still in one place.
  10. Just for clarification, I'm already "unsub"bed. More accurately I canceled my sub's auto-renewal a month ago (paying every 3 months). So that's not an option for me since it's a done deal. My options are only two: 1.) Do nothing and watch my server (if it's an origin) dwindle into solo player land, but enjoy other games like I'm doing now any ways. It wasn't horrible in activity, but it was fairly low. Top 15 of NA servers in activity. So the transfers-on-rails will make that situation even worse if I choose to sit still. See what I mean? Our server wasn't dead to begin with, but it was low activity. 2.) Go through the hassle of transferring, duplicate name issues this late in the transfers, guild and guild bank hassle, and then moving to a server we know nothing about of which no clue about activity or anything else, and then possibly not even play again since I'm bored with TOR and 1.3 doesn't add much. But until I make that decision I join with others to share our disappointment about the process in hopes that Bioware opens up FREE server transfers of our choice in the future, where my guild has time to check on duplicate names. And by that point may be Bioware will have guild moves? I can hope, even though I know Bioware has failed us at every decision point corner so far.
  11. I don't complain on the MWO forums because they're doing everything right in my view. But misery loves company, so you see a lot of complaints in this thread and on the TOR forums. And it's more than what may or may not work. It's lack of options, lack of control, and absolutely NO HELP in moving guilds and LITTLE INFO in the whole process. Aside from server pops, that's what some people are POed about. And since you'd only been here since April, people who've been here since before beta see a trend in what Bioware/EA is doing, with this history of shooting themselves in the foot, so we're even more POed about the current situation. Agreed. I hope they share that with us instead of remaining zip-lipped about it. I don't have any expectations they will, though, since they're 'operating scared' at the moment. They don't want to give up too much for fear of the backlash, but at the same time they're getting a ton of backlash for the way they handled things so far.
  12. QFT. I'm playing Diablo III right now, along with World of Tanks, and waiting for Mechwarrior Online and eventually, far in the future, Titan. I'm not a WoW player (tried it for 4 months years ago), but I am an MMO player (UO, DAoC, LOTRO, AoC, etc.). The only reason I'm posting on the forums again after canceling my sub renewal a month ago is to follow and give feedback (ie: complain) about the server transfer plans, especially after seeing the details of 1.3. I don't see TOR going anywhere good until Bioware changes their current plans and direction.
