Hello, i'm the guild leader of Merciless, one of the largest Dominion guilds on Rowesdower. I apologize ahead of time for the wall of text, but I hope this doesn't fall on deaf ears and you take the time to read this. By now, you should be aware of the low population server issues. If this is the first you're seeing of it, that's a whole other problem entirely.For the past two weekends, in prime time, my guild has tried hosting a server wide warplot fight. Keep in mind, we're a PVP server. We weren't able to get 40 people together from ALL of the guilds on a PVP server to do the highest form of PVP in the game. We couldn't pull FORTY PEOPLE together after an hour of spamming ahead of time, in every chat avenue we could think of. During the peak hours of activity. That was a big shot to morale for a lot of people still left on the server.Within the guild, we haven't had much in the way of new players to recruit in the past 2 weeks. We've gotten new people in the guild, but they're mostly refugees from other guilds that have transferred, and they couldn't or wouldn't pay the fee, or they have some hope that carbine still cares for the general player base.Games in general tend to have a better community when you have a few healthy servers, as opposed to many sparsely populated ones. There's people in my guild and on my server that absolutely love this game, and would throw money at you guys in any other way than a paid transfer, because it would mean leaving their friends behind.Our server's population has been dwindling steadily ever since the rocky launch of wildstar. We, the current rowesdower population, had the choice between 20hour log in ques, or transfer to a new server. Had we known that said server would fall in activity so fast, i'm sure we would have had more patience. Now, it seems, we have a new option ahead of us. 1) pay to transfer. 2) Play in a barren wasteland. 3) Quit the game entirely.First option paying for the transfer, isn't always available to everyone. Not everyone has the disposable income to throw at the game for a transfer that (at this point) should be a free service. Even the ones that can pay for it don't want to, because they don't want to leave the friends and community they've grown on in the past few months, as small as it is. Everyone paid for the box for a "MASSIVELY MULTIPLAYER" online game experience. I don't mean to sound like an entitled brat, but that's just the way it is, and the way a lot of the community sees it.Second option, play in a barren wasteland. The main downsides of this are readily apparent. The only way to get a group for anything is cross server pugs, unless you're in one of the three big guilds on the server, and even then there's not always people on. On top of that though, the Auction hall and commodities exchange barely have anything on them under any category most of the time. You usually get more money vendoring materials than trying to put them on the market, because there's no demand, because there's no players.Third option, quit. Self explanatory. This is usually followed up by getting frustrated by option #2 for so long. If you care so little for the people that can't or won't pay for the transfer, you'll end up losing so many people that it wouldn't even be worth it monetarily for you to keep the server up anymore anyways.There's already a multitude of bugs that i'm sure you're all working on, but this should be your biggest and most important thing to work on. Everyone would forgive any little hiccups along the way if they had more people to play with. Please pass this along to your managers, and your manager's managers, untill it gets to the right hands. On behalf of the community of Merciless, of Rowesdower, and everyone on Nexus, thank you for your time, and we all appreciate anything you can do to help us out of this wasteland we're in.-Arishock
 
PS: I assume this will get locked, and that's fine. Just want someone to read it first. Please pass it along and make sure the devs know how painful this is for the community.

			I'm going to go ahead and lock this one up since we have multiple threads about the same topic.
