peteed Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Ok so I was on Jekk Jekk Tarr or however it was spelt and now am on The Harbringer with a forced name change for my characters. I also have Characters on Dalborra. Oceanic servers are all light pop atm do yas think it will be much better in F2P? The difference between the 170 to 350ms I get on US server compared to the 15 to 40ms on oceanic is pretty major but I like raids and instances and light popmakes that hard to do.

Ailie Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Gav Daragon now has a server forum to help with the low pop issues gav-daragon.enjin.com You're welcome to come play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uluain Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 If F2P doesn't boost Pacific populations significantly, BioWare is planning to make changes to help. Only reason to wait is none of the possible fixes are anywhere near perfect. But they are looking at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hambunctious Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Play on US server. The ping isn't that huge of a deal. I don't know which would offer you a lower latency. Maybe a west coast server, but you can try a few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnyHoward Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 You want to play on an oceanic server, weather that be now or at a later date, there going to fix the population issue in due time. The ping/latency makes all the difference don't listen to people who tell you to play ob US servers... Because you won't feel the full extent of the lag until later on the game, and you won't like. Despite this game being EA, it is the only decent MMO with local servers, so I would take advantage of that if I was you. P.S I think the RP-pve server has the best pop atm.

IdrianDave Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Yeah Gav Daragon is the place to be if your in the Pacific, reasonable (comparitvley) numbers during prime time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteed Posted November 8, 2012 Author Share Posted November 8, 2012 Gav Daragon good to know... Which faction is more populated? Don't really care which I play from a story side of things but the high pop faction can only help haha. Also what role out of tank, dps and healer will get me groups easier? Is the LFG tool wait times really bad when leveling or can you find groups ok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to play with a decent number of people, you do what you must. I have played some games on asian servers a couple of years ago, and I had no problem. Then again, none of them had the overhead of swtor. Which can be laggy even with 70ish latency. I wouldn't want to play a shooter with 200ms-plus pings, but it wasn't horrible messing around in Aion with my guild before it was released here.

Banegio Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Based on what people indicated on the forum, Dalborra is the most populated APAC server in recently months. Harbringer has a reasonable number of players during aussie hours. Given you have characters on both servers, I say try to play a few days on both servers and decide for yourself. In terms of faction, imp used to have a slightly higher number. But it appears to be evening out over time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Characters on both servers are only in the 20-30 areas so not too much of an issue swapping and would rather do now than later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBetty Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 come to Master dar nala. ^ This Bioware is going to wait until after f2p is launched to see if the oceanics fill out. In the case that they don't, they will be looking at the super server option as well as others. One way or another plans are in place to get pops in oceanic up.
