Forenza Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Let me preface this post with: I made a post yesterday asking if my legacy would be carried over to the server I choose to reroll on but I was temp banned for having a username which violated terms of service. I believe that thread was deleted so I apologize to those who did respond for your efforts were for not. So regardless if my legacy transfers i decided that continuing to play on my sever ( Gardens of Talia ) was not an option when at peak time yesterday my fleet had an all time low of 2 people. Ive narrowed my descision down to three servers: Fatman, Jung Ma, and the Swiftsure. 1. Fatman- Now im hesitant to roll on fatman only because it seems like thats where hordes of lost players are migrating to. And I can only imagine an anti-immigrant sentiment will begin to build up when que times begin to effect peoples playtime. 2. Jung Ma- I have heard good things about this server. I just have on question: what is the main difference between rppvp and a regular pvp. I mean, I know what roll playing is but are there any key differences I should be aware of before making a decision. 3. Swiftsure- My last option, swiftsure, was chosen because it seems to have the second highest population next to fatman as far as USEAST pvp servers are concerned. So if you guys could help me choose a server I would greatly appreciate it (also if any guilds have formed from low-pop server refugees I would be looking to join). PS - This will be the ONE AND ONLY time I reroll to a different server, if my new home becomes a barren wasteland like the last, before server mergers, im outtie 5000. digz?

Thanks in advanced for replies. I believe the top 3 servers are 1. Fatman 2. The Harbinger 3. Canderous Ordo. Just thought I would let you know in case that would influence your decision.

Puppup Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Fatman. It will be the last one standing. Attrition is taking it's toll on all servers. RP = roleplaying. Not much of that occurs anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just thought I would let you know in case that would influence your decision. I play Imp side on canderous ordo. It's dying fast. Very fast. Fleet pop at peak times was around 250 last month, now it's barely 125. You can blame me a little, I quit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can blame me a little, I quit. Why is the only basis for a thriving server, the number of people on fleet?? I have a 31 Agent I rolled on Harbinger, I've been to Fleet TWICE in that time span and both times I was there less than 5 minutes...soon to be a 3rd once I finish up chapter 1. I never go there, lots of people don't go there. Anyone leveling won't be on the fleet, only people who are bored or trying really hard to get a FP group. Judging a server's "life" by the number of people standing around bored on the fleet is a POOR way to do it.

Enochx Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Dude check out TORSTATUS.NET. I came across this site and used it to find my new PVE home. Turns out that Jedi Covenant is the top PVE server now. It was funny because I decided to bail on all my previous characters and start brand new with no legacy and very little hope. Just me and my little Taun Taun and guess what I kept seeing in Gen Chat on Korriban? Other refugees just like me asking if this server REALLY is always busy and if people suck and this that and the other. no exaggeration...there must have been 10 others including me that jumped ship from one server to Jedi Covenant. If Bioware won't merge the servers, then by god we will form a refugee tent city on Jedi Covenant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JollyRogers Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Judging a server's "life" by the number of people standing around bored on the fleet is a POOR way to do it. ^^^ This. But, when its someone just lazily grabbing the easiest number they can use to proclaim "omg, the game is dead!" it won't matter. Can't reason with the unreasonable.

Btw, you're among hundreds of rerollers over the last month. I've talked to about a hundred of you guys and all of them loved so far the server.

Talon_strikes Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Go to The Fatman. I highly recommend that server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonoku Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Go to Jung Ma, I highly reccomend that server based on their maturity, and number of good and nice guilds, really, theres some people on jung ma that don't really RP and just go there to have a mature environment/troll-free environment.

Zannis Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Why is the only basis for a thriving server, the number of people on fleet?? Because when it comes to the real meat and potatoes, that being endgame, people don't want servers full of people who want to level alts. They want servers full of people who want to run content at level 50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
