Depending on your class you'll always end up doing something better than his class...so define "better", please. And also are you saying that this behavior is acceptable so long as you are "better"? (I'm asking only from a point of clarity not judgement).

Just ran into this problem on my alt. What the heck are you guys using you WZ comms for since we can't use them to start buying gear? I'm trying to figure out the best use for them now that I realize I can't use them for lvl 50 gear I can use later.

We've all been there: some guy on your team thinks he's The Force's gift to PVP matches and his self-validation exists solely in winning every PVP match he's in. In order to insure that he achieves that self-worth he'll scream at his own team the entire time about how they are all "stupid" and "should never cue again" or "uninstall your game". While /ignore is the easiest way to solve this issue; how do you handle it? Let him rant? Intentionally lose the match as a passive aggressive response? Report him in a ticket since he's violating the "rules of conduct?" All of the above? Something else? I certainly have my own modis operandi for folks like this but want to hear what you guys think. Thanks in advance.

I was glad to see that "Lord Calypho" got the option to transfer at last. Looks like it might not have been the perfect solution for all (and let's face it, you can't please everyone) but I'm happy you guys got the option to enjoy the higher populations.

BW - This seems like a completely reasonable and fair request. While it doesn't affect me directly I want to see our fellow SWTOR gamers have the same "full" server experience the rest of us got in this process. Thanks for your consideration.

Sorry to hear about this. I realized there were 3 Euro servers left wait for xfers but assumed that they were still ironing these last few out. Seems fair that they give you the option to move to move to a normal PVP or a RP-PVE at the very least. I'll gladly add a post if you think it'll help the cause.

WOW that transfer process was super easy. All my characters transferred within seconds of submitting the request and only 2 of the 8 needed to be renamed. I did lose my Legacy name, but to be honest I'm glad as I wanted to pick a better one anyway. BW - thank you for the methodical and well thought out plan of attack on this process. WOW look at all the people!!! WOOT!

Well said. +1

I can respect that...guess since my server isn't completely dead I'm coming at it from a different perspective. Normally I'm a "get it done yesterday" kind of guy, but this is something I'm willing to be patient on to be sure they get it right.

Actually the fact that they ARE waiting to see how the transfers affected the destination servers show that they think critically and well. You want 20 min wait cues? I don't. They have prime time play coming up (Satuday night), after they have some data from all the destinations at prime time they will know how many more they can move to them, if they need a 12th destination server, or both.

Pssst - they aren't really...they just think they are special and BW will throw a solid (and so far successful) project plan out the window and bow to their whims if they threaten to unsub. It's a secret, don't tell anyone.

It never ceases to amaze me how some people can make statement's like this in the face of overwhelming proof to the contrary. You've gotta be saying stuff like this just to stir people up who aren't looking at the facts right? You're pulling their chain for fun, aren't you? Cheeky little monkey.

My server hasn't moved yet and I still managed to play 3 rounds of PVP last night in about 2 hours. Not great but not bad for a week day night. The Shadowlands, home to Old Republic Dads, hasn't moved either and ORD is a sizable guild. Unfortunately I think a lot (not all) of the remaining servers are light population servers that aren't exactly ghost towns and they have to be more careful with were they move them all as to not overload the destination while still keeping guilds together. So by my count: 79 origins --> 10 destinations in North America 58 origins --> 9 destinations in Europe And I believe that only leaves 34 North American Servers to address & I'm not sure how many euro servers there are so I won't guess. Oh yeah and this has all been done in a little over 48 hours. 156 servers addressed in 48 hours! And you are seriously worried, spinning conspiracy theories and assuming the worst for the remaining 34?

YET...wait for the paid transfers and you'll be able to go where you want. It's just the first step and the fact it's going smoothly means we are going to get to paid xfers that much sooner.

Sound logic, Arlbo. Less servers, quicker patches, less cost.

Unlike a lot of people who just threaten to unsub, he's already cancelled. He did exactly what you should do if you are unhappy with a product or service; stop paying for it. I feel bad that it didn't work out for him because I love the game and want everyone to get the same joy from it that I do. That being said, I respect him for putting his money where his mouth is and not just QQing.

Just working the math here: I saw the number of total North American servers at around 123 and they've opened 64 up as eligible origin servers and 9 as destination servers. That leaves 50 TBD...looking pretty good that all the servers will be addressed by Friday. Hopefully by this weekend populations will be back up significantly for all.

Just some food for thought to the QQ'ers (a.k.a. Ignore this post and keep ranting) This transfer process has all been planned at nauseam. There's a project manager and rollout team assigned and working that plan and it's all being done in a way to limit risk. This is how business operates. As I PM myself I can tell you that you ALWAYS reduce the amount of risk when implementing something in a production environment, because down time costs money. Do the math: 1 million subscribers (conservatively based on the 1.4 number reported a month ago) $12 avg a month per sub. $400,000 a day $17000 an hour. Then subtract expenses like salaries, equipment, etc. You want to lose $17K and hour? You want to go to your boss and tell him why your rollout plan was too aggressive and cost the company $17000 an hour? Or even something that affects 1/2 that amount? What about the additional costs breaking production cost (restoration, cust support increased calls, etc)? How many hours before the cost of down time equals your annual salary? We have a saying where I work when people want to take a shortcut or do something aggressive in production: "Would you bet your job on that?" It's not done as a threat but as a way to make people feel and think about risk. They aren’t flying by the seat of their pants here. They aren’t out to get you. They are trying to do things RIGHT and limit risk. Okay, thank you for your indulgence - RAGE ON! Or as a funnier guy than me said: "Rabble Rabble Rabble" (insert Taun Taun icon here)

Just for clarity: are you implying that BW is holding out on adding more servers to the list now because they don't want you to have this information?

My GUESS is that if you stay behind on a low pop server you'll end up being forced to move when they start retiring servers. Which I will add is a good thing IMHO as retiring servers cuts down costs and maintenance time that can be put toward new content and making the game more profitable. HOWEVER, this is pure speculation on my part and nothing BW has stated.

Easy...once this populating merge phase is done, they will offer paid for transfers and you can move which ever characters you have on others servers to the one you prefer.

You take the population of 4 dead servers and combine them and then you don't have a dead server right?

Hang in there, sir. I image for every destination server there will be 3 servers feeding into it (depending on existing pop of the destination). Once all those free transfers are done they will offer you a paid for solution to move your Sentinel to Harbinger.

9 North American Servers and 9 European servers are about to get their populations increased and that's just the servers listed on the first day. So if you pick say 45 destination servers and feed the populations of the other 78 into them over say 2 weeks you "fix the problem." You are making it sound like the only servers going to the destination servers listed are the once announced today; simply an incorrect assumption.

You will be able to later once the initial transfers are done and the paid "move where you want" option is available.
