Here is the situation:
 
PVE Megaservers are a resounding success and things have never been better for grouping up for open world raids and just about everything else that is affected by populations.
 
Here is the downside to very successful PVE Megaservers:  Nobody or virtually nobody is on the PVP megaservers.  Its very clear what needs to happen here.  CLOSE DOWN THE PVP MEGASERVERS and merge them into the PVE Megaservers.  I am sure there will be naysayers that will really hate this idea, but that is right now.  I guarantee in 2-4 weeks time the PVP servers will be even more dead as people begin to leave/quit due to the servers being empty.
 
You can still save things now by thinking far enough in advance to correct this situation by merging them all into one Megaserver.  All that players are losing is open world PVP and lets face it- WS was not built on being an amazing open-world PVP game.  Its strengths lie in raiding, questing, housing etc.  There will be a minority of players that don't like this idea at all, but those very same players will be screaming about low population/dead pvp servers in 2-4 weeks.
 
My suggestion is to think ahead here and merge them.  One Mega server will be good for the game overall.
 
 
PS> I know there are a bunch of pvp open-world activists that are about to jump on this post, but look at your server..it just opened and nearly EVERY guild is already scrambling to get out.  Be smart.

			And why open another topic......?

			Yeah, sadly they can't make people play on the PVP servers.  I feel this has been a pretty consistent problem since the first days of instanced battlegrounds so many years ago.

			There's already a topic open about this already.

			I have transfered today to pve server, I have finished today daily events, it was problem on pvp server at this weekend, but in all honest it is not the same feeling. Yellow Dommies running around, I can't hit them, they can't hit me, they are another red telegraphs for me which scare me but do 0 dmg, strange feeling srsly, a lot less fun. I remember I could sneek and get tag on scorchwing, run away and it was all thrilling and fun. NOW IT IS BORING, AND STOP SAYING IT IS BETTER AND OPEN WROLD IS MEANINGLESS - IT IS NOT! Ofc I can put pvp flag but for what, I will be one idiot there which will get stomped by 30 dommies, so what's the point;) It is all fair on pvp server, here it is just grind fest. To be honest if not all this problem with roster big guilds had and decided to go to pve server to fix it, which scared ppl to do the same thing I wouldn't do it.  I am hoping for carpine response today and I am still hoping for free transfers to pvp servers soon. I think many ppl would come back to pvp server ;)  I still remember Carbine said one day they will add open world objectives some day after feedback from players, so I hope they will keep with it ;) And if it is not possible at least I hope for some perma pvp flag in some zones;)

Olivar do you actually contribute to the information on any thread or do you just act as a self appointed mod?
 
Anyway as for what lightwish was saying, despite their being loads of other threads about it, yes I agree that the PvP servers should be shut down, as they serve no purpose now, but it doesn't have to be the end of open world pvp. People can just flag themselves for pvp or not, and give pvp enabled people an icon above their heads viewable to other PvP enabled players. Sorted.

Chua has his contributions in the other SIMILAR topics.

Theres no reason to be on a pvp server really.
 
PvP didn't happen at all while leveling on my 3 50's.
 
PvP only happens in daily zone.... and still its rare its normally dom and exile just kinda coexisting for the sake of getting their dailys done.
 
PvP players complaining that no one is raiding == mass exodus to pve servers to raid.
 
The reason?  Because world pvp is pointless in wildstar offering nothing really.  No goals, no rewards, just killing for fun.  But lets face it gamers want to be rewarded and they want goals.  Hence why everyone flocks to BG's and Arena's.  Guess what we don't need a pvp server to do pvp that rewards you and gives you a goal.  Because half your team probably came from a pve server to begin with.
 
PVP servers will die for the simple fact there is no benefit to being on one, yes I know world pvp but guess what it rarely if ever happens.  And in my cases dom and exile worked together many times to kill world bosses rather than pvp lol... then went their separate ways.
 
Its logical they died with 1 one tickets off the servers to more populated pve heavy servers where pvp'ers still get their pvp in the form of BG's and Arenas.
