I don't think Carbine will be able to merge servers.
 
Why? Because, although the Dominion population on a number of servers is waning, the exile population sounds like it's doing fine.
 
Ergo, how would they even merge a server in an attempt to boost Dominion population without also overcrowding the hell out of the exile population? :(
 
Maybe they could take JUST Dominion characters and bring us together on another realm? Would that work?
 
FYI, I don't believe we're in need of a merger just yet, but if the time comes, this WILL be an issue...

Medium population server (europe) :
 
 
Game is ded !
 
 
All dommies are gone !! :c
 
 
Cities are empty D:
 
 
Why isn't Carbine merging Wildstar with GuildWars2 ?
 
 
Doom & gloom, man.
 
 
Etc
 
 
Screens were taken yesterday.
 
I understand some servers might be a bit emptier than others, but as far as I'm concerned, I don't see any population issue at the moment.
 
Plenty of players to play with, Battlegrounds can be found even at 4am (Paris time), always someone to PK in open world PvP.
 
Edit : btw this isn't against OP that is indeed making a good point if server transfers happen one day. However, my post was more an answer to the current doom & gloom threads about game population that "occasionaly" pop up :p

Wouldn't be an issue, they have the stats. Could merge dom players to a server with low dom pop and the exiles to a different server that has a larger dom pop. As silly as it sounds, the biggest hurdle that everyone is going to kick up about is the meaningless names.
 
Btw, most servers (at least all i have seen) have a strong population and are quite busy, go have a look in game rather than believe the dribble on the forums!
 
I believe this game does instancing, even if your capital city looks bare, there are many players there, just not in your instance. Personally i wouldnt mind them increasing the population per each instance.

			Maybe they should offer paid race changes then people could switch.. to exiles. ;)	
----
			
can we just all agree to merge all Aurin onto their own server?
or at least instance them away from the rest of us  :P
game needs moar mordesh IMO	
----
			Yeah, make a special Aurin server called Chainsaw. And replace all mob models with a floating chainsaw.

			I think the best solution would be to make the Dominion more appealing, be it through a new trailer for the Dominion or offering free, one-directional character faction and race changes to Dominion.

The issue i See with dominion is they are all very unappealing, only 1 that has something going for them is chuas.
 
Humans on Dom side have ugly hairstyles, why Not just give them the Same options as exiles and vise versa.
 
Mechari are fun, but possess no Sounds, like evil mechanical laughter or anything, walk weird as if they have Bad case of knocked knees, and when they stand still they make this silly head move, were it pops out and turns left right, light those punching dummies from that game that pop appaet when they are hit to often.
 
I guess there are some that like darken, but personally I think they are ugly, tails and horns all look aweful. That's just my opinion.
 
Chuas are pretty cute awesome with their crazy laughter but it being crossgendered, no real way to make it appeal more feminine, I understand why it's not more appealing to others.

I had this idea when pondering merges and I think it's kind of neat (not sure if I've already mentioned it in a different thread):
 
1) Put all Exiles on separate servers.
2) Put all Dommies on separate servers.
3) Rank separate faction servers according to population.
4) Pair one Exile server with one similarly populated Dommie server each, so they're like a "siamese twin" of a server. If one Exile server happens to have twice the population of the next best Dommie server, pair two Dommie servers with it.
5) Voila, much less faction imbalance.
 
This would obviously be a serious effort, but if Arenanet somehow patched in a megaserver system for Guild Wars 2, it seems at least... possible, right?
I really think it would solve a lot of server issues that the game is currently running into or will run into at some point, without completely surrendering to the megaserver trend that many people dislike.
 
Edit: On second thought... is this what OP meant by taking "JUST Dominion characters"?

It's not a problem because there's no need for mergers. There are PLENTY of players to be found on every realm.
 
And also PLENTY of other threads on this topic. No need for another.	
----
			
So you want to take Dominions, and ship them all off to the same place.... making them effectively... exiles....
 
 
you sunuvabeech!

Edell... just because your server bubble seems fine doesn't mean the rest are...

You play on all servers on both NA and EU?
 
Have fun solo'ing Scorchwing on the servers that didn't get a chance to fill up like Pergo and Hazak.

I'm positive there are 19 other players on any server. Group up and don't expect to do group content solo. Get a guild.

Yeah except you would have a lot of left over exile lol

Ascendancy EU during Afternoon / peak hours kinda boring ye? this is dominion
 
 
 
 Both AH is like this :) empty!!!!
 	
----
			It is unfortunate that some servers are lacking players. It is true that some have little players, while other servers have a much bigger populace.

I think that server is quite exceptional. I'm on Contagion and seeing over 5 players in Illium at the same time has been quite rare recently.
