Star Wars: The Old Republic moves players onto bigger servers

BioWare had been testing higher capacity servers= with the thought of consolidation, but they finally made it live over the weekend, moving players from low population realms to ones that will hold much larger numbers.

BioWare had been testing higher capacity servers with the thought of consolidating current servers. They finally made it live over the weekend, moving players from low population realms to ones that will hold much larger numbers.

Many players who did not take advantage of the free server transfers logged into the game after server maintenance yesterday to find characters moved to the new destination servers. Some players had to change their names to avoid conflicts with same-name characters. After the consolidation, only 20 servers remain, some holding the population remnants of as many as 25 older servers.

BioWare stated that no characters were harmed in the making of this transfer. Those that are confused or now totally lost should check out the server consolidation FAQ.

      I'm just waiting for it to go F2P so I can enjoy the SP... in November, right?

        It is a fun game. The biggest problem I had when I subbed was finding people to group with. Consolidation + F2P should take care of that.

          same here, though it did start to get tiresome near the end and I had very little interest in end game,

          but I'm looking forward to doing a free to play jedi knight and seeing some of the republic side.
