  1. lol.. Jedi Sent (35) Jedi Sage (35) Scoundrel (35) Vanguard (17) * Currently leveling. I can't win. When I level the Vanguard, I feel like I'm wasting time. When I'm leveling one of the mains, I feel like I should be leveling the Vanguard, mostly because of crafting (Cybertech). I find myself confused a lot. Like I'll be playing Sent and think I'm Sage etc. So yeah, I wouldn't recommend it. I haven't burnt myself out though. Though, I don't want to be one of those guys who hit 50 in the first couple of days, then spent the rest of their time in-game complaining about the lack of content. I like to enjoy it. I'll probably get Cybertech to 400 (With Biochem and Artifice) and then just hit 50 with each one rather than level at the same time.
  2. Cross-Server everything. Make this game global, baby. You know Mass Effect Online won't be divided up like this. I bet MEO has like 5 huge servers, and keeps that "galactic" feeling. Meanwhile, we on SWTOR get divided to-death. Everyone is screaming bloody-murder about the game dying, population decreasing, etc. simply because the playerbase is spread out like Kim Kardashian at the Superbowl after party. I want that "Massive" in MMORPG feeling baby.
  3. What they shoulda done with the PvP system atleast, is make it 'Galactic' wide. What that means, basically, is make it Game-Based and not Server-Based. People from my server (Port Nowhere) could end up in Warzones with people from Fatman, etc. This solves the one problem of low-pop servers not being able to do Warzones. It does little to solve the issue with dead planets/dead world PvP. My thing is, why didn't they do it by channels and not servers? Rather than have 35 East servers, have 1 server, and have it run on channels per planet. IE: Nar Shaddaa has 10 channels with a capacity of 100. Once Channel 1 reaches 100 players, the next players get shifted to channel 2, etc. You can queue to join a full channel, or choose to join a channel that isn't full, etc. This rids the problem of low-pop servers completely, and I think it goes with the spirit of Star Wars IE huge Galaxy, by letting everyone play with everyone. The only spilt I would do is English/French/German/Spanish etc. This way, you don't have dead planets, you don't have dead world PvP, you don't have any issues like that. And then, people who don't want to partake in PvP at all, have an option for them called "Role-Playing" or something. They can't be attacked, or attack a Player Character, nor can they heal one of their own faction. Make the default option be PvP on. So then you have a place for PvE only players, and PvPers alike. Or hell, spilt it by just being English (PvE)/ English(PvP). That's solved. It's easier to add 'channels" than it is entire servers. For the simple fact that, once you have dead servers, you have to close them down, which ends up looking bad for the game (So the theory goes). Maybe this idea isn't feasible, I don't know. Pretty sure I played a game that did this about 5 years ago, though.
  4. 15 people on Tattooine currently on Port Nowhere at 4:00PM. Not sure if you consider Port Nowhere a low-population server, or not, but it certainly feels like it nowadays. The server also feels dead during peak times. From my estimation, peak for Port Nowhere starts at about 8:00PM, and last until maybe 12:00AM/1:00AM. But the most you'll see on Nar Shaddaa/Tattooine/Taris etc. is 23 ish people. Fleet barely touches 130. This server used to be very heavy with queue times and the like. It's why I picked it. Now it feels dead. It gets worse every-week. Now, perhaps it's better at higher levels, I don't know. But the server seems like a ghost-town to me 90% of the time while leveling. And there are a number of servers out there worse off. The game needs transfers/mergers, and if you look at transfers/mergers as being unhealthy, then the game is unhealthy, simple. They had way to many servers to start with, and I think splitting the playerbase in half in NA (East/West) wasn't very smart. Some East players play late in the night, where hardly anyone else on the east would be playing, but people on the west would, same for the West. (I get why it's like that, I just don't like it at all) I have 4 Republic characters currently (Consular(34), Knight(35), Smuggler(31), Trooper(13)) and I am loathed to re-roll on another server. Most likely, I'll roll 4 Sith on a high-pop and see what happens. I doubt I'll like it (Not really a Sith type I guess) but if the trend on my server keeps heading down-ward, I'll probably cancel my Sub. Which sucks, because honestly, I love the game.
