sweederland Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 No it isn't ridiculous. We are PAYING for this product that we can't use. I'd be happy with a week of free play time. If I wanted to enjoy solo content I would be playing my Xbox 360. SWTOR is a good MMO, but no MMO is THAT good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSIlverSurfing Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 (edited) Ah, but see, that's the problem. Don't look at fleet, look at over all. Overall on either side I see anywhere from 80-100+. Only like 20s on Fleet, but in the entire galaxy there's like 100+ most times. Believe me, I check. We only have 40-50 on prime time Thendy's Noori. We currently have 2 in fleet and 27 on the imp side on the entire server. Edited June 12, 2012 by MrSIlverSurfing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chriscruiz Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 It takes days-weeks on thendis noori to get a queue.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enkenon Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 If I understand correctly the list is of the servers that you can transfer to. I hope I'm right cause if we are talking about servers you can transfer from the failure is so big there's not even a reason to comment more. And BTW. If they were serious and really wanted to boost population they would just merge servers and servers would be full in a couple of days.But no. They had to "innovate" once more. So now what we got is not exactly free..it is rather ,controlled server transfers in the way a server merge is but it is not as fast,effective and simple as a server merge. Keep on innovating... Seems I did a mistake and misjudged the server transfer process. My initial reaction was based on the list of servers as it appears in the swtor/transfers web page. That lead me to misunderstand the system cause it is not clear on that page the relation between origin and transfer servers. Sorry ,and I hope my server get's in the lists soon.

Inzuher Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Great.... No transfer from RP servers, I'm stil stranded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanchope Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Some Bantha PooDoo Nerf Herding Hutt Scum is taking level 50 characters names from origin servers ( at least mine ) and making characters on destination servers in order to sell the names back to their original owners, which is pretty close to extortion or exaction, this happened in WoW and now its happening here. I won't use this service because I am unable to keep the names I was attached too. I had alot of high hopes for this game, years of following development. Now, I just don't know. I strongly encourage you to share any proof you have of it with Bioware. I suspect they anticipated this. I believe its the reason why, despite serious complaining by many, they refused to publish the lists of source and destination servers in advance.

keimox Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 At prime the imp fleet has 20 people. And at prime we have about 78-100 people on. We are 0.98 on tor status we use to be 1.03 sadly. Just wow! Our server has ~25 persons online WHOLE server @ peak time and it has been like that many months now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDBoston Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 I am perplexed why they didn't move the lowest population servers first? I'm trying to be somewhat patient, but I have been on a dead server for months. 20 on fleet in the best of days isn't fun for a pvper. We have been having 40-50 people in the game during prime time. Welcome to Thendy's Noori. Every single match we play the same pvp group. This has been going on for weeks now. Consider yourselves lucky we haven't been able to get a PvP pop in months.

MrSIlverSurfing Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Consider yourselves lucky we haven't been able to get a PvP pop in months. Well there is only 1 pvp server with a lower population than Thendi. Basically all of our matches are against guildies atm. We still get them very rarely. We tell anyone doing a flashpoint or raid to que and not take the que just so we can get a quick 30 second warzone with no peeps in it. Its quite sad atm.

sweederland Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Can anyone explain to me the difference between what BW is doing now and a server merger, and how a merger wouldn't be more time efficient with better population outcomes? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big_Bopper Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Most likely because people on those servers are already used to getting the shortest straw so few more won't make a difference. Well said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fallenchillz Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 The initial character transfer service is now available, allowing qualifying characters to be transferred at no charge from selected origin servers to selected destination servers. This character transfer service will be available as long as is required to help maintain population balance across the service and create a better overall gameplay experience. Select servers will be eligible for free character transfers based on the player populations of the origin and destination servers. Read More How nice I give up my lvl 50 toons and other lvl do to my server being dead dyeing Start over on a new sever and now transfers come out like this K How about giving me free subscription time for all waste months I paid for in advance Not able to play my toons the way I like on my old server and cannot bring to a a new sever i choose and have to re level other toons to get to enjoy playing again WHAT a waste of my money and time i put in to my lvl 50 toons and so on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leskit Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 I don't think there is much common sense being used at all with the server migrations. Population makes no difference as servers with higher population than VH have already been moved and ones with sub 25 are still waiting. I don't understand how asking for a timeline is such a bad thing. We pretty much had a timeline back for EGA when Devs communicated with the community. Now though we have nothing. A simple outline of Origin ---> Destination order would cure a TON of the post going up all day, but it doesn't appear like they can be bothered with that.

Arlbo_Nabbins Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 am i the only one worried about the *********** blatent lie by a dev about millions of ppl to move? Millions of characters not millions of people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arlbo_Nabbins Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 We are. I'm just deathly afraid I'll lose my legacy. Husband's not too worried as his is below legacy 10, but mine's legacy 33 and I have a few unlocks earned/paid for I don't want to lose. Plus my 15 companion stories I completed. I'm a nervous wreck wondering if everything will be good to go if we have to move. You will not lose your legacy, your legacy level and all its unlocks will transfer with any character that you move.

My guess is they will be using the tiny population servers to cap other servers where ever they need them. Since adding 50-100 accounts to any server wont have much of an effect on the overall population. But honestly dunno.

Inzuher Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 (edited) **** this game are you *********** serious there are a total of 3 people on the fleet at all times and maybe 50 people in game if were lucky on the Nathema server and we don't get a transfer. I officially can't stand Bioware now thank god I have Diablo to play. **** Bioware and **** this game. Well I'm very disapointed or server, Trask Ulgo, didnt get to transfer too, but I guess they're working on it.
