			I understand why there were so many servers at launch but now most of them at least are around the clock on low population, which i can only assume it would be easier on the game to have a handful of medium/high population. as far as the game play it would be nice to have some population on the servers if nothing else. 	
----
			This, so much.I am assuming Carbine added servers according to the population playing beta/stress. However most of those people didn't buy the game & play full release now.

no they added servers because the pvp servers at launch had long wait times so people screamed for more

The unfortunate answer to the server population issues has already been released, called a paid transfer.  Every mmo I've played the company will milk out paid transfers for at least a year plus.  
 
Just take a look at NCsoft other title GW2, those cool guys were taking paid transfers right up to the day they implemented the megaserver (18 months~ after release), safe to say they had that in the works for a long time w/o the community knowing.

and the loss of the last of the people who started playing this game at launch.

			Double post. Why, Carbine? Why?

sadly though paid transfers dont address the issue since as you see the servers are still low and paid transfers are out. for the problem to be addressed it would need to be by the Dev's with either free transfer to one server or forced.
 
though its worth also noting keeping all these low pop servers up costs them money that could otherwise be used elsewhere or hell in their own pockets for all i care.

I would stay as long as the content stayed good. I've had good experiences with former-P2P, current-F2P games such as SWTOR (I know ... I know ... I just like it, is all!) and TSW. GW2, which has always been B2P is fun for a laugh every once in a while. It's the games that start off as F2P that I avoid.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
To be fair TSW is B2P not F2P, and I still enjoy that game. Likely where I'd go if this one went poof (I hope it doesn't though)
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
And yet:
 
1) They had free server transfers for months shortly after launch.
2) Even paid transfers were paid with gems, so no one was forced to pay a cent of cash.
 
Please try to stay fair in your criticism.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
You're right. I guess it is B2P since you have to pay for new content. I'm really enjoying Wildstar but TSW is still my favourite and will be where I go when it's time to take a break from W*.
----
			I agree with you Fry if this game caves to F2P then I will be back on the crazy train of TSW. That said anyone that cant wait a week or 2 through queues won't stay to play this game anyways. At the most Carbine should have open 2 new servers one for PVP and one for PVE and just chuckle at all the rage post about long queue times and reminiscent about the days when the worked at wow and say the exact same thing. Plus it only cost 20$ to transfer to a popular server i recently saw a few guilds move to stormtalon.

You have to buy the base game too.

I never said they were forced, and it's true they were taking paid transfers all the way up to the release of the mega server 18m after release.

			Tenner still providing thoughtful post in the most undeserving place the general forum glad Credd keeps you here.

			Playing on a dead/dying server is fun.  It's like bringing the worst parts of a single player game to a MMO.  Now, let's see if I can solo scorchwing as I'm the only person, from either faction, here.

Aaaand that's our daily, Protostar-cloned "Server merges, plz" thread for Saturday!
Thank you, forums, you didn't disappoint!
 
Stay tuned for the next one tomorrow! Same cupcake time, same cupcake channel!
