This is just the first round. More will come as they expand the number of source servers throughout the day/week.

I'd be surprised if Fatman was the continued target of transfers unless they are trying to solve some population imbalances. IIRC, Fatman is Imp heavy, but I've never played on it.

Be patient, this is just the first day, more servers will be added very soon. Also, I think they calculated the transfers by summing up the population of the source servers. It's very possible that the 4 listed US servers have a total population approximately equal to the 6 EU servers.

Understand there will be more but the pace will have to pick up significantly if they're going to get this done in any kind of reasonable timeframe.

im pissed that my server isnt amoung the first, how did they calculate which servers were the lowest? by active players on the server or by total populations?

i can understand that they start small.. i do that in my IT job as well when i build up a new server or add stuff.. first put up a small portion and see how it goes before you start transferring the mass.

Complainers are there and will always be there.. if they didnt have enough servers, everyone complained about queues and stuff.. now there aren't queues, people still complain..

The Fatman fleets are all flood with tears... I wish I was on a low pop server so I wouldn't have to deal with the daily flooding.

What a joke, this is not a good sign.

Markk9 why is this a joke? Its fecking awesome that we can get more ppl on some servers.
I think we see like 10 servers in EU when this is all done.

Its a joke because people see fleets that have 10 people at primetime and they feel they deserve to have an MMO with more population. My server is pretty dead according to my eyes but torstatus.com says its not that bad but worse than Soresu which IS allowed a transfer. The joke is that to many people, they feel like BW over promised again and under delivered. I would say BW could have made the WHOLE thing MUCH better by devulging the process but not the list prior to today. They could have easily said "Hey, we are going to do this in structured waves consisting of 4-5 US Servers per shift. Once we see stability in both Origin and Destination servers we will add more." Then no hopes are jacked up through the roof. Think for a moment at how many people were pointing to today as a chance to have their game experience finally begin to live up to expectations? Thousands if not TENS of thousands. This process has been vieled in too much secrecy for BW's own good. They could have, once again, delivered a ton of good will with just a LITTLE transparency. This is a reason that Blizzard maintains a stranglehold of the MMO market. They overdeliver while being far more transparent about major issues than does BW. Not saying Blizzard is completely open about everything but they do keep their players in the loop better.

I also understand IT processes, I worked in IT for a few years on the hardware side. So please do not tell me that more could not have been done ESPECIALLY when its a Tuesday when the ENTIRE IT staff is in the building. Again, more transparency leads to more moderate expectations. Less transparency leads to more disappointment after dashed expectations. Unfortunately people will quit if that list doesn't update multiple times today. To me that is both sad and fairly unrealistic but again greater upfront transparency would have resolved ALL of the angst ahead of time except for the most unreasonable and you couldn't appease them anyways.

I knew they were going to do it in waves before today. I didn't know how many server though. If they said we are only going to do 4-5 people still be QQ about it. Why isn't my server picked? Why can't I go to this server? No matter what BW does people are going to be mad about it.

There may still be more transfer coming this week. If they opened 20 server transfer day 1 people would be QQ that there char wasn't transfer right away. The people that have transfer did so without a problem and right away. People were talking about being transferred to The Fatman short after the server came back up.

Yeah I got a toon on Jedi Covenant and so far things have gone smoothly there as well.

As to you knowing they were going to do it in waves, it makes logical sense, but if you announce it AHEAD of the process people have no reason to QQ as they KNOW something. Most of the QQ is precisely because no one had a clue as to what was going on or how it was going to be dealt with. Name of the game is transparency and BW doesn't work that way and thus they reap what they sow.

I'm really glad I work for a living and everything I own I have to save for and earn. I'd hate to be in a world where I expected MY needs to be first priority to complete strangers because I hand them 15 dollars a month...
Anyone catch that? Each whiner is still just ONE drop in the bucket of the master plan.
Correct me if this is not how it is/feels it's gonna go/ what they've planned-
*1.3 is on the PTS so folks can fine tune the next update
*while that's going on, servers that suck are being emptied into bigger servers to create BIG servers
~means to me ranked warzones are gonna be awesome
~LFG queues will be drastically reduced
~crafting market flooded with schems, mats and aug kits(high suply low price, buy equip back to kicking butt)
*slow transfers to bigger servers means no over doing it and breaking a server/crash or lose someone's info/ and each server is transferred completely for active players faster

So, deep breathe. You're not the most important person on the planet BUT they want you happy so are moving at the safest and fastest method they have deemed to accomplish their goals for THEIR game

Really disappointed that they are having Fatman as a destination
server. Full server doesn't need to be more full. Bioware continues to let me down with the disconnect they have between themselves and reality.

Interesting.

The Bastion is a destination server? Even though it's amoung the extremely low population servers itself. Seems like The Swiftsure Server being PVP West Coast would have made more sense. Allowing 10 people to transfer to 15 people still makes for a shitty server.

I wonder how fast they plan on doing the phases. 4 servers for NA a day with 123 servers and only 7 valued with population worthy would mean (116 / 4) would require a whole month (29 days) to accomplish. Any slower of a pace and this could be the worse band-aid tear off in the history of knee scrapes.

Dakken,
They are increasing the total number of active players per server. They had the que cutoffs artificially low since launch. This has already been released by Bio...

Great job Cadika

Everyone needs to take a chill pill geez

It's a joke because of the small number of servers that are able to off of. Now if they do this every week, and up the number of servers, it might not be to bad.

BW is planing to up the max servers pops per server. I think they could go down to 10 maybe 15 servers. If I can't get my toons off The Corsair to the my toons on The Harbinger before 1.3, I will be done with this game.

They will start small, see how things go and then open up to more servers at a time. Relax.
