Rouge Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 (edited) Populations will balance out when people start creating new or start playing their existing Republic characters on those servers where there are imbalances. My own EU server seems pretty balanced, there's probably 3 Reps for 4 Imps. Edited January 21, 2012 by Rouge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khryn Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Well. Considering the number on the top left is just in your Instance, and last night was a Friday night... I think it's ok. I don't have problems finding people when I want to. I also have a good guild that comes to my rescue when I am lonely. I suggest you do the same, it adds immeasurably to the game.

I have never seen 2 instances of a republic zone, except for the fleet during the holidays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chnmmr Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Well unless people reroll republic. It's not going to change. Any change made to promote republic rerolls will get a massive outcry from Empire players who will call it unfair, and/or feel that they're entitled to outnumbering the enemy significantly. It's not SWTOR. It's people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khryn Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I have never seen 2 instances of a republic zone, except for the fleet during the holidays. I see them all the time. I don't make it a point to look anymore because I'm busy enjoying the game. I can see though where people would get worried when you don't have to wait for a mob to respawn for a quest... It would get annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A large part of the game is group content and not only that the best items are also from that content. Its fine to skip stuff if you dont feel like it but most people are playing this game as an MMO. TL:DR why arent you play mass effect then, its better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rouge Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 People purposely create toons on desolate factions? ouch Most people will probably want to experience both sides. Seeing that my server has at best over 170 Reps on Coruscant, 80-90 on Fleet I really can't say that they would be desolate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elarion Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Add Cathar, Nautolan or Mon Calamari as a Republic playable race. Problem fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister_Fish Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 The server "The Razor" seems well balanced, although all planets lv.35 - 50 (Excluding Ilum) Rarely have around 50 players. (Although it is a Light - Standard server.) So that makes heroics difficult for me no matter what faction I am playing on at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My server is Standard - Heavy and all planets above from 16-30 have "just" 20-55 players at prime time and that's too of Empire side too. I usually fail to do one or two Heroics on each planet at the intended level. It's just the size of the game that keeps planets at relatively low populations.

Claymaniac Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 (edited) Anchorhead had more than 40 people each on Alderaan and Balmorra last night. Coruscant had over 90. This is around 9:30pm eastern. And correct me if I'm wrong, but the fleet doesn't get sharded. I've seen 150+ people in the fleet on anchorhead and its never sharded. This guy is trolling, his follow up posts make it obviosu. Edited January 21, 2012 by Claymaniac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tumpai Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 (edited) no body hangs out in big towns... this isnt swg you will find ton of people on the fleet. and every planet im on ther are 60-90 players in my instance at peak. the harbinger Edited January 21, 2012 by tumpai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalusW Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I'm on a PvP server and can't wait until my BH is 50 so I can roll a republic alt and experience all the world PvP. It really is hard to find jedi to kill. Just because people start on one side doesn't mean they will stay there. It just takes a while to get to max level. I tried rolling a SI, but there is way to much overlap in quests for me to enjoy another Sith character just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiltonium Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 yea, theres literally about half population of republic to sith per zone on Jung Ma as well, with Courasant being the exception. Finding a group is ridiculously hard when theres only 140 people in fleet and most of them are NOT your level. Travel to a zone your level 20-40 people at prime time. Ugh.

rzrknight Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Will balance out when they allow us to send items for all our chars , or when we get a global storage for all of them , sure it is nice to make alts on the rep side to check the story , but im not beginning it all over again without my high lvl support.

urborror Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 My server is really bad--15 on Alderaan on Saturday afternoon, sometimes 25 on the fleet. They should merge some servers, and more heavily "shard" the player heavy early-planets, if necessary. I played an imperial character on a more highly populated server and you had 130 on the fleet in primetime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rouge Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Yeah, that's not how factional balancing in any game works out. You can't get 50-50 situation in any game and as this is not a game like WAR, you don't need even try to achieve it. 40-60 would still be a very viable situation.
