dvrocc Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 (edited) There is a couple three heavly populated servers on westcoast one i can think of is 'The Harbinger' (westcoast) most servers are light/standard most of the day on population then some get realy heavy at about 5:30pm to about midnight, your best best is to fire up swtor at 7pm and then surf the server list and you can see the ones that are busy pve/pvp/rp. Also don't let the light server population scare you there is a lot of people playing there is just a crap load of servers.

You have a choice between PvP, PvE, RP, and RP-PvP. I suggest googling those terms to determine which one is best for you. This website has a pretty good overview, and it's also posted below. Then you have to pick which server. In the coming weeks there may be some misinformation out there about which server is best. People are understandably desperate to recruit new players for their own servers. If having a large population is important to you, the best place to see server population trends is http://www.torstatus.net. Look for the servers with the highest phi value. US http://www.torstatus.net/shards/us/stats Europe http://www.torstatus.net/shards/eu/stats APAC http://www.torstatus.net/shards/apac/stats Having said that, "wars do not make one great" and population isn't the only thing that's important. You probably also want to get an idea of what the social atmosphere on the server is like, or the PvP warzones, or the raiding progression. 1. Check out posts for that server in the SWTOR forums. Do the people that are posting seem like people you want to play with? Are there events going on that you'd like to go to? http://www.swtor.com/community/forumdisplay.php?f=309 2. Google the server name and see if there are external forums for that server. These are forums that aren't moderated by the folks at SWTOR. If you're interested in RP servers, definitely check out http://www.swtor-rp.com 3. Find the social media outlets for that server. (Facebook, twitter, you tube). See if they're active and what's going on. 4. Get an idea of what guilds are like on that server. Even if you aren't interested in joining a guild, they are part of the social climate. (http://www.tortools.com/quiz and google are your best bets) The big issue with servers right now is that we have too many. There are 217 to choose from and many have low populations. On Tuesday June 12th, Bioware is going to start the process of concentrating the population on fewer servers. Here's more official info from BW about the server transfers: http://www.swtor.com/blog/character-transfer-server-populations-and-you Here's a summary of what the devs have said: http://www.swtor.com/community/devtracker.php Here's a TL;DR summary if you want just the facts: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=474209 If you have an opinion, thoughts about, or reactions to this news, here's the one and only one place you can post where you are most likely to have dev actually read, care about, or respond to you: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=472600 Good luck, and may the Force be with you!
