Consolidate servers or have multi-server WZs

The end game is all about WZ... if your server is basically dead... game is over.

 

Consider consolidating servers and/or have multi-server WZs.

 

What a brilliant idea! I haven't heard anything like that before ever!

Multi-server WZs coming with season 1 of Ranked PvP.

 

I don't think they'll really consolidate servers, but do something like multi-server dungeon finder, multi-server PvP (as stated above), and possibly a server group GTN. Unfortunately, "server merges" have such a negative connotation, I don't think they'll ever do actual merges, even though this is far and away the 2nd most played MMO currently available, and server merges would do wonders for the health of the game.

 

EDIT: A huge problem with real merges, possibly even bigger than the bad pr just from saying "server merge", is the naming issue. There is absolutely no way to do a merge without pissing off a good number of customers because their name had to be changed.

Mergers/Transfers need to come now, cuz the frustration-level of cross-server PvP on low-pop servers will be ridiculous:

 

1) On low-pop-server, where ppl can't actually find any games, they are completely undergeared

2) You have a much smaller pool of decent players on low-pop-servers (If I want to play in Top-100 Worldwide, which I thought I'd be able to, I'd have like 2-3 other ppl on our whole server I'd actually go into a WZ with)

3) There are tons of other disadvantages, like totally empty Galactic Trade Network etc.

 

Although I'd gladly take x-server PvP, even before transfers, transfers should be available sooner, with that I mean NOW!
