It sucks, but you should just reroll. I went from having 20-30 people on fleet to 170+. Heck, I haven't ran into a planet with less than 50. Dromund Kaas had 199 yesterday. Finding groups and the game in general is so much better on a heavy server.

I am not saying that is a lie, but changing your clock in windows reflects the time in game. So that picture could have been taken really at like 3am, we will never know.

 

Then again, this games population is declining. But to the point of 4 people Imperial side...I am not so sure...

 

Please let us know what server you are playing on

Somebody is probably going to come in here and tell the OP he is lying and that the game is growing by leaps and bounds soon to overtake Windows as the most installed software.

 

Somebody is going to come in here and tell everyone that this game is dead and there are only four players left on all the servers, plus that one of those players triple boxing.

 

The truth is probably somewhere in between, but there has been some pretty significant migration happening, so the only advice I have for the OP is would be: Either start over on a better server and risk all this happening again, or just keep making noise to get some form of response from Bioware. You'll have to take a lot of abuse and be labelled an "Astro-turfer" or a "doom-sayer" but it's your game experience your fighting for, offending people that live to take offence is just one of the hazards you will have to tolerate.

 

 

I almost forgot, you'll also be told that you have entitlement issues. That one hasn't gone out of style since the 80s when the first self-important, pseudo-intellectual snot posted it on a BBS to insult someone he didn't agree with.

You're an angry droid...

Did someone catch you lying about a minor issue?

 

OP

That sucks

Even though i'm playing on a heavy populated realm i fully support merges or free transfers out of low pop realms

Fortunately no, I play on two servers are pretty solid.

 

I'm still angry though, I blame society.

I wrote server name you can check if you dont believe my local time is not 8:00 pm and there are 7 ppl in fleet.

 

I cant reroll because i got valor 55 lots of gear and some alts here.I have friends here too.

 

tough spot to be in :(

 

Think a lot of people, especially the ones with high legacy and/or valor, are getting pretty sick of hearing "just reroll"

 

I mean thats ok for the people saying it who have barely capped a toon, or not yet, but for anyone making the standard progress, its pretty harsh

Give me a break. A lot of servers are dying. It's highly unlikely he's lying. He has no reason to lie about a dying realm. He wants it fixed.

ok, I don't know if the OP is new to MMOs, so I will say this nicely.

 

 

 

a) it always happens that some servers are low-populated, and some are heavy-popuated

b) to some people that means they end up on a server with a situation they don't like

c) some people hate playing on a high population server. some people love playing on a low population server (don't ask me why, I myself prefer the in-between)

d) the server name kind of seems to me like 'this is obviously going to be low population'

 

 

 

now you have to look at it like that:

either you re-roll, while still playing your old char (maybe use this chance to try out a class you haven't so far?) .. for example switch around after 2-3 hours or play on one server on one day, on the other the next.. I don't know

 

or you keep playing, hopeing for the option to either move your char to a new server (which still means leaving your friends/guild behind, btw) or server merges

 

I'm afraid option two will sooner or later make you really really hate this game.

 

I personally would still suggest to you to just re-roll, even just for testing. nobody is telling you to .delete. your lvl 50 fully equipted char. remember it doesn't take very long to lvl to 50 anyway.

 

 

you know what I did?

I had a lvl 50 imp char, a lvl 30something char on empire, and a few lvl 20something alts on both factions on one server.

 

I rerolled, and it was the best decision I made since starting this game. the server I am on now is not the most populated server either, republic is outnumbered, and I play off-peak hours but I still play with people almost the whole time. it's awesome and way better than being frustrated all the time.

 

 

ps: I'm GMT+1, I will log into that server at 6pm tonight, and may god have mercy upon your soul if more than 10 people are on the imperial fleet :p

alright, so I just quickly created a char on tott doneeta

 

it's 2:30 pm GMT+1, so that would be 3:30 the OP's timezone (aka 3:30 hours away from the time of that screen shot)

 

either way, there's currently, about 1 hour after servers came back on, and most of europe still at work or just coming home from school, there are 9 people on the imperial fleet. (4 on hutta, 45 on the whole server imp side) I didn't bother to check republic ;)

 

sure that's not a lot, but the OP also forgot to mention it's a PVP server. my personal experience so far is that there's usually 1-3 high population pvp-servers and the rest are all low because pvp-players kind of tend to zerg in all aspects ;D

Ouch,

 

I will say though that players are gravitating to other servers, we've seen some formerly standard servers go light while other formerly heavy servers become very heavy, or even full on weekends. It's not overly painful for people to reroll in this game at this point so they are. I know my servers have seen tons of people from other servers coming to it

It's not a fake. Some servers (around 3-4) really really lack players population...I am on SENATOR CONTISPEX and during peak times we are around 10 as average on imperial fleet and not all are lvl 50... It's impossible do anything...Ilum is a joke: each time not more then 4-5 imperial players and maybe 1-2 republic.

Bioware should do something ASAP about it.
