no one said they werent going to allow more slots in the future though.. right now as it stands we dont NEED more than 8.. we would LIKE more than 8... huge difference

I have young children.. no special keyboard and mouse here.. and admittedly though i have tried them.. I dont like them all that much...

Id like to think they could do it.. I am a huge supproter of allowing the company to grow or fail on their own.. but really bioware?? this weekend has been proof that stuff you guys think about is *** backwards. they delayed the transfer of the characters to the other servers so they can check populations and so they can do a pts test (there currently is 1 imperial on the imperial fleet on the pts) sure its 730..but one... on the day of testing for the ranked warzones there should be a hell of alot more than 1. hell tarro blood has more than 1 right now.. they wanted to do the ranked test this weekend.. yet they opened transfers up last week.. do you really think people are going to want to log out of a full server to go test for bioware this weekend? sure some will..but not enough so they wasted this weekened for data they wont get. thats the stupid stuff bioware is messing up on..and its hurting the community and the companys rep

it is also their job to over hype stuff to a bit... i mean if he says. we have one world with open pvp at level 50 but its gonna suck.. he would be fired:P

my server had an epic battle last night too... we all sat around trying to find people to pvp with on a dead server that they refused to transfer until we got fed up and quit for the night.. man it was epic..

I have a serious question...now I know devs likely wont answer but here is to hoping. Come monday, when your test of server stability is complete. How soon will you need before you can inform us if the rest of us will be merged on monday. Or if like I suspect you will wait till after the patch update on tuesday before the transfer begins. I would hope that you would not like to keep those of us waiting in the dark longer than we have to be. In the spirit of co-operation is why I am asking here. I am hoping that you now meet us half way, those of us who have been waiting. And come monday morning tell us if we are going to be transfered, or if you need to collect more data. The sooner you tell us, and get on with the transfers, the less angry those of us remaining will be. Unless you dont mind upsetting like 15 % of the population further than you already have. Not trying to flame, or be an ***.. I just really would like to stress that many of us like the game and are patiently waiting for the merge news, and if you could let us know sooner than later it would be greatly appreciated.

lucky marauder:P

ok well for the average 99% of humanity:P its not needed..but damn sweet to have? hows that?

well some free transfers are avaliable..the rest of us have to wait..likely till tomorrow but..still

ya but explain why a dual core 2.4 ghz preforms better than a quad 3?? cause thats whats happeneing here.. i get the point.. and ya games dont use more than dual core normally..but how does the engine deal with that extra ability.. does it use it for optimization or just leave it unused and wasting resources of its own? the problem is unless you worked on the hero engine none of us will have a logical answer..it just appears to be *** backwards to anyone who knows anything bout computers:P

well the death star and tie fighters didnt exist back then:P but i do understand what you are saying and ya i agree.. incentive isnt a strong one here sometimes

ouch lol thats alot of expensive unneeded ( as of yet:P)ram..but damn thats a nice computer. i still maintain that the hero engine was not ever designed to run on a multi core platform and thats where the majority of issues are stemming from... allocation of resources and optimization of cpu usage...the engine confuses up the cores something fierce.. my dual core laptop runs better than my wifes quad core pc

ya i was wondering about the direct x thing lol anyway that was just an observance that i noticed since i do maint on both our computers and can easily compare the two build wise, thats one of the biggest differences our computers have is number of cpus.

this i must agree with.. time playing does not equal dedication to said game my wife and i love the game.. but lately weve been in a slump.. maybe its the fact our server doesnt have transfers yet, or the fact theres no one to play with.. no recent 50 content.. whatever the reason we hit a game slump..it happens to everyone.. it doesnt mean i dont like the game.. just wanted a break for a few

i disagree. the medium armor users get no love at all.. i leveled my marauder up to 50 and really i had little choice in gear, while my wife had an inquisitor and had far more gear choices for looks and what not than i did. there already is more light armor in the game.. giving them more wont make the problem seem more balanced.

i often wondered if there was an issue with multi core processors.. i have a lap top that runs this game not bad 40-60 fps on average anytime.. but my wifes quad core runs it around the same. the computer is far superior to my laptop. but its fps fluxuates often and by huge degrees compared to mine. i was wondering if the hero engine has an issue allocating resources through the multi cores. ( i have a dual) the hero engine is years old now. so i could almost see an optimization problem being an issue

ill agree here.. if yo ucant run wow above 60 fps and you have to run game booster and other things to do it..thats not the best system out there... its probably not a bad one..but its not great either.. though to the man opposing you in this.. go ahead and post your comp specs if youd like.. we can see what the issue is if there is one then..

how to calculate take every server that was merged into the destination server.. take from each of those the average number of log ins per night safe bet is to use the max number say it is 25 per sever . let us assume they merged 10 severs into 1.. therefor that would be 10 severs 25 people per sever 10 * 25 = 250 ( call this the average population currently on the destination server after merge) now because people are strange we can assume that people will return to the game. so we need to account for that... how? 250 ( number on destination server ) * (extrapolated number of expected returns) we will use an exagerated high number in order to account for the randomness of game.. assume 50 people per server 50 * 10 = 500 so take the aver pop and the extrapolated number and add them together to get the exagerated ave pop per sever of. 250 +500 = 750 now because the servers can easily handle 750 people. lets set the cutoff bar a bit higher to allow for MORE variences in player logins and set the cap at 1000 people. that is a good average cap I managed to pull from the 6 months of numbers that I have seen.. and i dont have the more official numbers bioware has.. but i can promise you.. there isnt a server that has 1000 people in it on prime time right now..but all of them would be able to handle that load. anyway..just my two cents...it can be done, they just didnt want to

already been denounced as bullcrap i believe... but every company 'considers' going f2p.. often id bet.. as the economy changes your game changes or it dies.

my future wish list.... a server transfer.

they cant even fit every character that has a sub in the servers they have now without making people wait 3 extra days and you honestly think they have a way to give you 8 more slots without mucking everything up?? really?

id like them to add a paid for addition of extra character slots..but not free ones at tarnsfer.

there are more sitting around than just 2 pvp servers..but i dont think they intended on being so crass as to leave the 20 servers in na hanging ... it sucks and i plan on waiting till transfers..however my enthusiasm for the game and what I am willing to tolerate from bioware definitly took a hit this weekend

i have 60 days left too.. just resubbed, but i am not sure if i will stick around post transdfer (whenever that happens) but we will see

they say no one cares becuase they dont expect those people to come back..adn generally their im leaving threads are all hate filled crap speeches about how shtty the game is.. returning players however generally are more humble and kind..and happy to be back
