Concerns about Server Populations and Suggestions.

[Azaiela]

To Bioware,

 

I have recently discussed with my guild about the recent drop in population on our server and we have all thought that this is a growing concern. I speak for most of the guild X-Raided on the Sith Meditation Sphere when I say that we are concerned with the increasingly difficult ability to not only obtain players for Hardcore operations but the fact that PVP ques at peak times are beyond acceptable in the level 50 group.

 

Before anyone ask it is not that we are by any means a small guild. In a general week we have 4-5 progression groups running but this is only due to the fact that our hard core players will do 2-3 of these runs taking in alts into the group. What our server seems to lack is enough raiders of the same hardcore mentality.

 

As keeping up with the forums there seems to be some solutions proposed. One of which being transfers. I would like to point out our guilds major concern with this solution. Without knowing who else is going to a server there is a major possibility to move to a server that could become even less populated than the one we are already on. This in effect would only make the problems worse and people may be stuck quitting not due to un-enjoyment ot the game but do to inability to do the activities that they enjoy because there are not enough players, Another is that many of our member have a good deal of level 50's or those that are close that would want to move as well. Not knowing what the charge to move would be this is a concern to quite a few as the guild as a whole would like to stay together and some players are not able to afford to move 6-8 characters at the $15 rate that seems to be standard in games for such moves.

 

Our proposed solutions are either server mergers in which all the characters or 2-3 low population servers(or more depending on need to balance) are combined into one to make for a better population. We would hope that you take into consideration the amount of not only active accounts but the numbers of players that log in on a weekly basis if you would choose this option as to make sure that the server does not become dead due to most of those players being inactive even if the account is still live.

 

If however you would prefer to continue with the transfers we would like you to consider making it an option to transfer all of the characters on one server of the same account to another server. This would allow people that enjoy playing together to continue to enjoy the company of those they like on all characters.

 

Our final suggestion would be to allow for full guilds to be transferred to another server. If this would be the case you could give the guild leader the option to put in the requested transfer for all members of the guild to another server. Also giving any members who do not want to transfer a week to leave the guild so they can stay or transfer as the individual pleases.

 

On a final note, most of our members rather enjoy the game and would like to see it continued to succeed however it is hard to enjoy a game when you cannot accomplish the various events that we play the game for due to no failings on our own but the lack of people. We ask that you please take our concerns in your sincere consideration as all we want is to be able to continue to enjoy this game.

 

Thank you,
