New Severs Anytime Soon?


KWAiRT

Recommended Posts

Will there be any new servers set to go live anytime soon? I just started playing and would like to start on a newer server but apparently every server in the list is a launch server and under load during most of the day.

 

I'm looking for a smaller or newer server with improved performance and less players in general. Every server out there has the new areas just loaded with players.

I'm going to assume you've been making characters Imperial side, which seems to be more populated on every server. I play Republic on one of the servers created later on launch day, and everywhere I go I see one or two dozen people on the zone list. On weekends at prime time some areas might go as high as forty to fifty people but it's a rare occurrence, like seeing an albino black bear. After the rush of launch, zone populations have continually dwindled on most servers, and I'd like to see Bioware cut a few servers like Trion did for Rift.

You right I've been playing Empire and I haven't seen a starter zone with less than 90 people in it. I've spent days making chars on servers to try and find one but it's not working. While I do plan on playing Republic I definantly wanted to start with Empire. I'm also west coast which doesn't seem to be helping either. Edited by KWAiRT

I anticipate that in 6-12 months after all the free-time and wagon jumpers have come and mostly gone there will be server transfers available. Another 6-12 months after those have all been leveraged they will then look at server population and decide if a consolidation makes sense from various angles.

 

Really I'm just holding off for the transfers since I went alt mad during my vacation and have around 10 characters between 14 and 29 spread across 3 servers.

I am on Saber of Exar Kun (a high pop server) and I was on my republic alt. There were 45 people on the Fleet at peak time. I logged in on my IA main, there were 280+ on Fleet.

 

I am level 40+ and I have seen maybe 10 Republic players in open world pvp through the course of casual leveling.

 

It seems they need to do faction incentives for for lower pop server or factions. Like how WAR did it, but not be sucky.

If you're looking for a smaller server, my current server (The Razor) is on the smaller side for the Empire. This was one of the servers that was added on the final launch day and has a much smaller community when compared to the couple of servers that I had previously tried. I've frankly been rather satisfied with my experience there.
