Kiraika Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 There are too many server light populated, they should close em down and let ppl transfer to more populated server, this way the game becomes more fun, more people, which i think it lacks at the moment, my server used to be high populated but now, its standard...

Kaelon Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Same here, our server had a wait time when i started, now its either light or standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prugal Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 I would agree with this, im trying to find a new server because there isnt anyone left on mine, and mines Standard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissDevereaux Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 I would love it if they condensed the servers. It's ridiculous trying to find groups at lower levels now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitusVorenus Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 I agree that server mergers/character transfers are a very good idea and should be looked into sooner rather than later, but I imagine that there would be issues resulting from how the Legacy systems work.

Sammm Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 I think SWTOR is a victim of its own initial success. During december 2011 and january 2012, the average daily playtime was something like 8 hours! 8 hours!!! They had no choice but to create a lot (120+) of servers to satisfy the needs and not end up with too many ridiculous queue times. Five months later, some server populations dropped and of course that was expected. I can't predict what Bioware will do about it but I see 2 realistic possibilities: 1. A unique and free character transfer from one server to another. It would be available for 2-4 weeks. 2. A servers merge where they'd merge 2-3 low populated servers together. The thing is I have no idea how they'll resolve the issues about character names and legacies. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiraika Posted April 20, 2012 Author Share Posted April 20, 2012 Perhaps a rename ? I don't know, but personally I think they should do the server transfers or like you said, merge some servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angel_of_Cain Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 After reading this thread and others, is my server the only Light-Standard with actual activity on it? and i play the outnumbered faction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zsaizsai Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 I suffer from a depopulated server as well as the shunned faction (republic). When I first started playing each planet I was on had 70+ people on it. Now (even in the newbie zones) I never see more than 10 and most times under 6. I initially joined a guild that had at any given time 35+ people on; however, the past 2 weeks I've been the only person on. Everyone either stopped playing or switched to the imps. This is not a complaint because I could always either switch to playing one of my imps or switch servers but I choose not to because I freaking love my smuggler. Hopefully, they will reduce the servers and offer transfers because ti would be nice to be able to run more than 1 heroic a week due to lack of players.

Abeastami Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Well alot of people got fet up with the WZ system and som of the minor/major bugs. So fewer servers and mybe fix the match making system. Plus i think people whine to much, this is a MMO it never stop evolving(onless people stop playing). Thoughs who get angry are proberbly right at be angry, but quiting the game insted of telling the people about it on the forums, so that the devs can fix it is just wrong. Don't be a quitter be a winner ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiraika Posted April 21, 2012 Author Share Posted April 21, 2012 We are saying it now and ye my server used to be like that too, so i switched, and now my new server is also de-populating my luck.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gnoams Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 hear hear, merge servers already please. It would be nice to actually see another player when you're wandering around a planet questing, and to have more than 30 people on the fleet. Its nearly impossible to find enough players for under 50 flashpoints even at peak times. Because the population is divided among so many servers it feels like this game is dead.

MCallow Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 I completely agreed with this post. It takes me at time over 2 or 3 days to actually get enough people to do a FP or anything. It does gives you a sense that the game is dying when is not so I hope they do something about this soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velrina Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Lets not forget summer is around the corner, quite a few high schoolers and college students might be hitting the servers, let not go merging servers until bio get a handle on the summer surge that i Hope is in coming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreatNeechi Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Server merges would be huge red flag on the business end of it. EA's share holders don't want to hear about server population issues, as that translates into reduced quarterly profit, and reduces the value of EA's stock. Never forget this is not just a game. This is a business. This is someone's bread and butter, and they will always put business and profit ahead of all other concerns. They're objective is to appeal to the widest possible demographic, and I can guarantee you their business model does not include server merges of any kind, rather a marketing scheme to bring in more players. Whether or not that marketing scheme succeeds is up for discussion, but server merges would be a concession on BioWare's part of poor management. They're not going to concede that under any circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

braxtor Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 If there won't be any server merges, than this game really needs cross-server queuing for both PvP and PvE. I know cross-server queuing is in the works for PvP at least. That's nice. But it sucks that Bioware has specifically said with regards to LFG tools they will not make those cross-server. Cross-server queues or server merges. At least one of those or this game is on a downward spiral to death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
