There are currently 25 galaxies, i want to make it 4.

Galaxies are dieing! The only 2 that i would consider healthy are Flurry and Starsider. I suggest 4 new galaxies are created. Current galaxies would merge into the 4 new ones. New ones would split the old galaxies servers so we dont get uber lag all over. Current cities would be placed into a lottery. Only a portion of cities would be saved (only enough to fill 1/2 of the total cities allowed on 1 planet on the new galaxies) Saved cities would be packed up (as in you get all the city buildings in your datapad individually if you are the mayor). Mayor place a new city down, all the old citizens would receive and automated mail stating where there old city is currently located. Cities would get a 3 week grace period for its citizens to relocate before decaying.

Houses would be packed up. Since it is a new server its a first come first serve basis for housing and unpacking cities.

Which galaxies go where is based on population values. All 4 servers would be within a few percentages of each other (population wise). Entire galaxies transfer to the same new Galaxy, not just a few toons from each.

Last, increase the amount of allowed player cities per planet 2-3 times what it currently is.

This kills about 50 birds with one stone. We solve the issue with empty cities. Also solves lag because currently 1 server has to support a crap load of people, where as the my idea would have 6 or so servers supporting a crap load of people, but its more spread out so its actually LESS people per server.

Its more FUN when you play with more people. (PS. SOE...if you didn't know FUN=More subs! k?)

I think this is the best option and is a major step forward if SOE were to do it....then again this is just wishful thinking...and this is longer than 3 sentences

We would need another planet or two capable of supporting player cities, and also harvesting of resources.

The easiest solution to that would be to add Drall and Selonia.

There are 2 planets in the .tre files now that have never been used...

Agreed. I think it's obvious that something should happen. While I'm on Flurry, it made me ill to see Badger's list today...what the hell happened to Bria and Bloodfin? I thought Chilly was the "new PvP" server?! Geezus guys...not gonna claim the sky is falling, but WOW...the numbers speak for themselves. /shrug

On a positive note...you can run with full shadows and details with no lag SMILEY

(I kid!!! Sucks...)

Transfers seem to work fine, I don't see a need to merge anything but empty servers. Otherwise, you will lose a ton of players to player city losses.

If we are going to merge them into 4 servers we need alot more Hamsters to keep the servers going.

**Caerwynn** · 06/30/2009 02:29:16

So you suggest keeping two US servers and closing two active European ones (Chimaera and Farstar) forcing them on to new servers? Now that would have a massive amount of EU players unsubbing and would be counterproductive.

**NightProwler78**

moving everyone together won't help.

lets look at what we've been given the past year so far

Hoth.. took a better part of 4 months to release and wasn't that great

Tcg expansion 1... UBER LOOT

Life Day... temporary content removed. only repeatable so many times

Ewok wing fest. same thing temporary

Appearance tab.. about 2 - 3 hours of content getting dressed up in a new suit.. then having not much to do

Cities and PA update. needed but only applied to a very small portion of the playerbase directly. the others got to display new titles while they had nothing new to actually do

TCG Expansion 2... MORE UBER Loot!

New structures update. you may have gotten a week or less out of redecoing your house. then you went back to being bored again.

Battlefields YES! NO! For a week or so they were doable but after that good luck getting into one because very few are queued during primetime and barely at all outside of primetime.

TCG expansion 3.... even MORE UBER loot

Empire day. fun and amusing like ewok and life day.. but old fast. nothing to do... go do another slayer collection maybe

Wait.. no it can't be any of that.. everyone just vanished cause its summer.....

......and they quit and are playing fun games

Seriously SOE needs to starts devoting MORE resources and developers to SWG soon

this is NOT bloodfin during prime time. I only see restuss empty right in the middle of the night.

Also,

is this the chart you mean? Flurry is on what 1200? Bloodfin is on about 900. So you only have 33% more pvp than us, i dont think that is really a whole lot of difference. Now i wil agree starsider has quite a lead...

i do agree that server merges are needed, perhaps make it one west coast one east coast and one euro server. That is really all that is neccesary.
