Gritfiend Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 I sent a request in for a transfer, a few days ago. They got back to me today. "Greetings XXXXX, I am Protocol Droid A0-L2, Human-Cyborg Relations. Thank you for contacting us regarding your server transfer request to The Bastion.

I will be closing my account before the next cycle. Thank You, XXXX So I have 8 days left. What exactly did you ask for? Seems the stupid droid took it to mean you didn't want to be on a pvp-rp server and not that it was a population issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iowan Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Cut the number of servers they have to raise the population of remaining servers. Allow all players to xfer any character to any server once free of charge for a one week period. That would end most problems. /signed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackMonk Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Alright, this isn't whining, this is paying for a service. I want to play a MMO, I pay every month so I can play a MMO and interact with people. Jung Ma fleet can hit a max of 100 people at prime time, Ebon Hawk, hits around 270. My ques for FPs, Wz's and guilds are scattering off. I hear people are waiting for 1.4, but it isn't a content patch. So, bottom line. I don't need to pay a monthly subscription to play mostly alone. There are other options available and if I am not a happy customer, I am not a paying customer. I have put a lot of time into the many characters, their gear, and what not. I do not wish to do all that again, I want to enjoy the "fruits of my labor". There are only a few servers, the server requests would not be "overwhelming" at this point. Open transfers, let the pops settle out. Otherwise, there is always something else to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoom_VI Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 If they allow people to leave servers at will it will kill Jung-Ma and I find the rp-pvp servers to be my favorite. The server pop would have been fine if Bioware had not let all the ajunta pall people leave (this is coming from some one who started on ajunta pall) And even after the ajunta people left the population was fine untill the doomsday predicters started wailing abouthaving to wait 3 minutes for a warzone pop and started a this server is dying panic and a bunch of people rerolled thus cuasing a demise of the pop. If bioware wants to fix the populations they should allow people to transfer in not out, it wont bring in a lot of people but it should at least stabilize jung-ma. not to mention Free to play will bring up populations for all the servers. And I DO NOT want to be moved to some mega server where i have to wait 5 mins to kill a mob just so i can get my daily. The servers have been merged enough, open transfers into the lower pop servers not out, I love RP-PvP servers I find that they have the most mature players and other than the doomsday people rp-pvp servers have the most supportive population even if its smaller.

BlackMonk Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 The biggest problem facing Jung Ma isn't the doomsayers, it was the death of Ilum. Open world PVP is useless.... USELESS. Sure, when I rolling around and I see a Republic player I like the ability to kill him and I take every chance I can. I like to be able to protect PVE spawns, it would be annoying to have a pub player roll by and not to be able to kill him. But, everyday people are afraid of getting ganked, so they roll on PVE servers. Since bioware has no plans to reintroduce Illum, or open PVP awards, Jung Ma is outdated as a RP server. The PVPers went to Fatman, the RPers went to Ebon Hawk. Jung Ma is now a bastard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackMonk Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 The only way F2P will work is if the other servers fill up. I don't think that will work. If Bioware had a way to make open PVP worth it, then people would flock to the PVP servers. Otherwise, it's WZ's all around. I can WZ on a PVE server. As a point, Ebon Hawk has 171 people on Drumond Kaas right now. Jung Ma has 71 people in FLEET. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree that the servers have been merged enough but do agree that if they allow transfers out, Jung Ma will lose more players. There's <70 on fleet rep side right now, that's less than there were last week at this time and much less than there were last month at this time (and starting tomorrow, well, who knows?). JM is basically dead right now especially if you don't play during prime time. Other servers are g2g. I don't think BW's doing the fair thing by not allowing us to merge with a populated server and don't agree that players should be forced to choose between re-rolling or playing on a dead server just for the sake of those trying to prop up a horse with a broken leg. This is not about regular wz pops or queues - in VZ's last weeks it had half of JM's population and WZs were still happening (during prime time at any rate) even if it was mostly the same teams fighting each other over and over. This is about everything else - GTN, group finder queues, guild selections/choices, general chat, RATED wzs, bumping into people (friends and enemies) while questing, etc.. While JM had 110+ in fleet I was fine - not complaining even though all of the things I mentioned above were worse than on other servers. But now? I saw the same spiral with Ven Zallow - there is no end with a decent pop unless f2p makes a big difference. But even there, most of the smart, informed, f2p players are going to go to the bigger servers. You can always roleplay on other servers, even the pvp ones. And I've found decent people on all of the servers I've played on (Fatman, POT5, VZ, JM). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthOvertone Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 There were over 100 people on the fleet at one point and between 30 to 50+ during non peak hours , which is still way better here than it was prior to the initial server transfers so I wouldn't say it's dead. Agreed. I think saying the server is dead is an overstatement. However, Jung Ma could definitely use some love. Preferably, just let us transfer to Pot5.

Swerto Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 /signed Give us an RP and PvP server destination, so everyone can go to a server that better meets their needs. Ebon Hawk pl0x. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dagrouch Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Republic side was still dead last night. After waiting in the queue on my sage for 20 minutes I gave up and logged out. Explains why all my PVP fights on the imp side have become a rotation of playing the same faction players over and over again. Bioware..please give us transfer! I don't care about a new ops, facial expression, or shadow changes. We want to play with people!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remag_Div Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Gonna have to agree. There was around 100 or so people on the Republic Fleet last night but I heard other servers now have way more at peak times. It's crazy this game still doesn't have paid server transfers. It's come to the point where I wouldn't mind paying to have the freedom to choose which server I want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moondragon Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Last night it hit me the most. While I am on the west coast, I still look at these numbers and...sad panda. This was probably around 10 pm PST (1 am Server) Fleet - 60 avg. (Fluctauted between 40 and 80 at the highest) Nar Shadda - 7 people Tattooine - 4 people Alderaan - 3 people (Hasn't exceeded 20 in about a week...imp or pub) /rant I think I'm also annoyed a little at the community though. "Just merge us with [x pvp server]!" This was the most common complaint I've been hearing. Weeell...Jung Ma isn't just a PvP server. It's and RP server first. If you wanted straight PvP, there was literally 5+ other servers to join...why did you join this server? However...RP people...seem to be all but gone this past week or two. RP channels on both Pub and Imp side seem to have dwindled to a handful of people, normal watering holes are drying up (from my perspective) and it just appears that the RP has left the RP-PvP server. So...I can't get too upset at the people asking for straight server merge to a PvP server. For me, I noticed the biggest decline right around the time they did super servers. Then GW2 came out. (or vice versa). Then Exams were happening for a large number of schools. And now...it's become rather unpleasant. /rantoff Is that why it hasn't been merged, because it's RP-PvP? More then likely. Should they still allow transfer off for the people just looking for PvP? Yep. Without a doubt. Will it see a numbers increase when F2P hits? Possibly I honestly don't think they'll ever merge this server unless numbers after F2P really show "zero" activity and I don't think we'll see Server Transfers happen till after the F2P hits either.

godshands Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 We Re-rolled not PoT5. Today 34 Imp Fleet/ Jung Ma and 250 Imp Fleet/ PoT 5 plus second instance of 20. Our serveris dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaywardOne Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 (edited) << If you wanted straight PvP, there was literally 5+ other servers to join...why did you join this server? >> When I joined the server (Ven Zallow) it was not clear to me that the "RP" title would not mean much. Also, for that matter, the "PVP" title doesn't mean much. But the server was packed. There was no downside to joining a Rp-PVP server. At this point I don't care what server type that I join, they're all basically the same: I want a server full of players vs one without. POT5 has lots of players (probably more than the east coast rp server but I haven't checked). I am all for giving us a choice over which servers to transfer to (like AP and, I think, the EU RP-PVP servers got a choice of types). But I wish we were in the initial merge list to POT5 because then I would have had a chance to keep my character names which are all taken, everywhere. But POT5 is where I'm currently playing.
