Gotta remember this is Biowares first MMO, and though it seems obvious to us in hindsight, they have a steep learning curve to take on.

They are working on server transfers. But if they dont allow all toons to be transfered for free, the whole legacy system is pointless. Posting my rant below. Ill try not to QQ but itll be hard to sound level headed. This game desperately needs a server merge, or unlimited free transfers. My server is empty, I cant consider TOR an MMO at this population, and at the current state of end game, this is crippling (about 5 people on the repub fleet during off hours). The entire legacy system is built upon multiple characters on one server, as such if they don't allow for you to move ALL of your characters for free, server transfers will not solve the problem. Rerolling on a new server invalidates all of the work I've put in so far, and is not an option. It is frustrating that server merges are off limits, because it would be an incredibly easy solution. I will wait out my pay period and the extra free 30 days, but if nothing is done to remedy this, I will most likely be joining my friends who still play WoW (though I havent played for upwards of 4 years). Server merge or unlimited free transfers by the end of the free 30 days please please please, or I will be another casuality that actually enjoys the game, and I'm sure there will be many more.

I second this initiative! Screw saving face, please turn an ok game into an epic one with a big server merge, reward those loyal enough to stick around. Im sick of seeing 10 people or less on every planet during peak hours

The OP speaks the truth, if its not all healers its 4 sorcs 4 mauraders, absolutely enraging

Quickly let me say Im having a lot of fun with SWTOR. Now that that is out of the way I would be having a lot more fun with SWTOR if there were more than 10 people on every planet, even during peak hours. It hardly feels like an MMO. I have a level 50 and a level 35, I have been ganked TWICE the entire time on a pvp server (and I play Republic). I never thought that I would miss being ganked, but I do, at least it makes the game feel like an MMO, not the single player RPG so many other people are whining about. From past experience with other failed MMO's post WoW (Random shout out Anarchy Online was the shizz pre wow) it seems like companies are very reluctant to merge servers, but why? Imagine if 4 servers were merged (pipe dream I know) and there were 40 people on each planet? And you saw people on the Fleet other than at the PvP terminal. The game would be the tops boy howdy! What is the reasoning for not doing this, and what are the chances bioware will? Heck Ill wait 20 minutes to log in during peak hours if it means bustling pvp in questing areas. I know one line of thought is to see how the server populations balance out after 1.2, but once that hits, can we expect a server merge to make a good game, into an epic game? If not, can someone please explain why?
