Mrcheezle Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 So 5 p.m. EST and out of 120 N/A servers none have heavy population. About 30% are light. The two servers I play on are listed as standard and each have 120 people or less total in fleet on both sides. Far from being a MMO or "Massive" in any sense. Come on EA don't be as stubborn as you were with WaR. You still have a chance to save what player base remains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Fal- Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Obviously if no one is on the fleet then no one is playing game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halofax Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 The game isnt dead or dying they have 3 full oceanic servers right now. Your server is dying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jederix Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Mergers usually signal the end of a game. They give the company bad press (worse than what is going on now with the complaining about low pop servers) and tend to scare new players away from the game. They are a last ditch effort to save a dying game. SWTOR does not qualify (though that is up for some debate, as I'm sure someone will comment on my comment here). You can ask all you want, but there will be no mergers. Not right now, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thanealpha Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Meh, the game engine can't handle large populations anyhow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pashgan Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 (edited) FYI fleet is approx 1/6 of server population. A bit of math and you'll get ~ 1500 total players. But compared to January (2 fleet instances at once on my server, more than 300 players) game seems deserted right now. Free weekly server transfers a-la Rift could solve all population problems. But "free" isn't EA/Bioware style so expect to see it as paid service in 6-12 months. So you better reroll immediately on most populated server - to cut your losses.

Raque Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 So 5 p.m. EST and out of 120 N/A servers none have heavy population. So before most of the country is out of work or school you think the servers should half a heavy population? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barrechor Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 The game isnt dead or dying they have 3 full oceanic servers right now. Your server is dying. The Oceanic servers only opened a few weeks ago, so thats a pointless argument. Server merges are required, I cant honestly understand how people can argue with that.

Halofax Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 120 American servers is too many to begin with. And I am an American. This game has more servers than WoW with an 8th of the population. Of course the servers arent as full. Moron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maradigamer Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 They were screwed no matter what they did. It was either infuriate everyone at launch who couldn't get in to play or merge servers later and freak out the doomsayers. Although a certain soon to be released game may have found a way out of this horrible dilemma, and congrats to them if it works out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evuke Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 hero engine is so crap it couldn't handle more than 20 players in an area, so they had to release with 10 million servers to compensate. now everyone is playing single player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boarg Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 OP apparently unaware that 5pm ET is a low-pop time slot...most people aren't even home from work yet in eastern time zones let alone anyone further west. Wait 4 hours and check again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We float around 40-70. I'd like to transfer to your server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngryBuddhist Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Ignore the BS replies OP. You know the truth, anyone who plays on what was a high pop server knows the truth. How bad are your guilds collapsing OP? Ours are all falling apart on my server and consolidating. Pop times for WZ's are increasing, Huttball is now pretty common for Rep side, posts on the forums have subsided quite a bit. Trying to find some open world PvP is like panning for gold in a gutter. I had two Imp's almost cry with joy when they found me running some old quests for some credits. I felt sorry for them and ran back so they could each kill me once. A Rep team was looking for about half an hour to find an imp on Ilum... things are bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
