I am the GM of the guild <Dark Legion> on Fa'athra, one of FIVE servers that has been offered free moves to Drooga's Pleasure Barge. Now, Drooga's is so full that any of my players that is running a dual-core processor (as is listed in "minimum requirements" for the game) is incapable of staying connected due to the heavy lag. This is even at the lowest possible settings. I had some of those folks take a character over to Drooga's Pleasure Barge just to test the waters, with miserable results, as was expected. PvP queues are all but non-existent now. Finding players outside the guild, even during peak times, to fill in holes in the roster is impossible. This is a seriously wretched experience that I fear will drive many people away from the game.
Now, what my folks want to know is the following:
1. Is Bioware trying to kill some servers by making fewer "super servers"? If so, will we eventually have no choice to move?
2. Are there any plans for cross-server Looking For Group and PvP group-finder tools that will aid folks trying to do all levels of 4-man instances, Operations, and PvP?
3. If we are eventually forced off our server (and having taken a vote - they won't go voluntarily and we're one of the original guilds on Fa'athra) will our guild bank and our legacies go with us?
4. Are there any plans to re-balance the server populations?
If Bioware insists on leaving this server a bleak and barren wasteland, then I humbly request to be informed accordingly so that I may advise my members instead of us just guessing what your intentions are and hoping for the best. I want to do what is best for my players and without some concrete info, I cannot lead them in the right direction. Admins, feel free to contact me in-game or via account email. We just want to keep enjoying this awesome game. Please help, Bioware!
