I play on Thana Vesh and I've never seen over 100 players on the fleet at a time, can't say about the republic though, but I do know that almost every pvp warzone I play is huttball against my own faction ( I know this is something alot of people post about) , so here's the question, are server merges in the near future or at least in the works, because there is alot of low populated servers, and even servers that have unbalanced populations, I don't know why Bioware can't just merge high pop Empire/low pop Republic servers with high pop republic/low pop Empire servers, because seeing no more than 15 people on a planet at a time is pretty discouraging, especially with heroic 4 quests, Bioware wants to see their communities flourish yet there isn't that big of a community to begin with, some planets there may be high populations, so take low pop servers and merge them with the high pop ones
