Reading this makes me want to punch a puppy. So you're more concerned about your character's surnames, stories and playing house than quality game-play for hundreds...nay, thousands of players who pvp AND pve? I don't know, perhaps start a blog for your star wars role playing fantasies rather than be an obstacle for something that is sorely & sadly needed. How 'bout put this in your pipe and smoke it: besides the obvious logical reasons for a merge, many of us have LOST multitudes of REAL friends and acquaintances due to the failure of Bioware to address this problem a year ago, they are now spread across literally every North American server and ToFn....now that, is a for real damn shame. So yeah, yet another petition, suggestion /signed.

LOL, then log on!

I have to agree with you on this, I was thinking the same thing as well. I"m a former "pot5'er", and as far as an Eastern time zone server goes, Shadowlands is a decent option to consider. Imp & republic, consistent queue pops during "normal" hours and a pvp community that continually makes attempts to get ranked happening. That being said, for a long time I resisted the west coast servers due to ping, which I have since found out is not a problem for me, so I also have toons on the Bastion. Tbh, if you were to back me in a corner, I'd say repub shadowlands has given me a "regstar, sometime play ranked player" the best swtor experience nowadays and this is based on the guild I'm in and the quality of games played against imps.

Mallorea, not sure who your in-game toon is in Eternal, I sent you a pm here.

I feel like this is some type of last ditch paid advertising.

You're such a noob Alba

First move off of Pot5 was to repub Shadowlands, it was a considerable upgrade, and I was not disappointed. I eventually moved my imp toon there as well. The ranked happens during peak hours and near the end of the season had to get kick started but the server has plenty of quality players and competition and the overall community atmosphere is good. Out of curiosity I leveled an imp toon on Bastion, and the ping which has always held me back from moving has not been an issue -for me-. Bastion has more frequent queue pops than Shadowlands during off hours which I appreciate. Can't vouch for the ranked scene being that I hit 60 two days ago, but I think the answer to that is pretty obvious; it's healthy. tl:dr Decent regs both factions on east coast? Shadowlands. Pvp ranked? Bastion.

I never understood that whole "I need to have my name" I would rather have quality game play than a name. I moved, lost my name that not only have I had since launch, but in multiple other games as well. Really could not care less. Oh, and I hardly think merging a pvp server with an rp server is going to help the pvp situation on pot5. Just saying.

Oh, yeah, like recently when you got the achievement for throwing the Huttball, I totally took a screen shot of that, since I know it'll never happen again. Or that time when Two'socks scored. Good times, good times.

Agreed. I took my sage off pot5 a couple months ago, and recently my sorc an imp lowbie after I logged on and a guildie said "server is dead" It really is unfortunate, pot5 in my opinion was -the- place to pvp two years ago, now it's a wasteland. Please do something bioware.

Nope, We came across them in a voidstar as well.

80%? I can do regs for several hours and only get several. Lucky you. -_-

Xenobia hasn't played in a long time, and then it was just a few regs. He's moved on.

Where is this said "suggestion box"? Some of us aren't forum warriors and have no clue where to look.

I'm so sorry to hear that Luis, I got an instant ranked pop on my sage yesterday on shadowlands. But then again, one of our dps was in complete pve gear and we lost because of that. FML, damned if you do, damned if you don't.

I agree. Moved my repub from pot5 to Shadowlands and well, it's an improvement.

We're working on getting a tank for Friday. Fingers crossed. Blackness and I both have WoW stuff going on tue-thur.

Rahc, Blackness and I moved over here for the time being, I logged over onto pot5 last night and the first thing he said is that it's dead over there. So we have both our 60's here now along with another buddy. Look us up.

Hey cidx!! *waves* Nice to see a familiar face! I brought my sage over here, gearing her up now, and leveling a sorc, hmu on Ahhleah (sage) or Ahleah (sorc). Is this pot5 influx 2.0? lol

Rahc!! NIce!! Nah, my sorc is staying over on pot5, but I'm leveling a sorc too for the comms, she's only 35 though. Give me a couple weeks and I should be near lvl 60 with 174 gear waiting on me. HMU on Ahleah (only one 'h' on imp side) next time you are on.

Why would it be a troll?, I said I was new. People have to spam fleet chat on pot5 for healers to queue ranked, don't know why Shadowlands would be any different. I guess I'll see.

My sage is new to this server and I'm still gearing, someone told me no healers queue for ranked, at least not solo...is that true for grouped?

No one really does care about lowbies, I mean they "care" about lowbies but almost everyone (like 99% of the population) understands that lowbies are temporary (which can be avoided, not smart but can be) and end game 55 is permanent (until they raise the level cap).

Cry me a river you freaking baby.

Then why the **** would you add "lol" if you're not cheery?
