Ok Whats the deal with the FREE char transfers. I log in today and the recommend that I transfer my char due to low pop on the server.
just curious how many people are really playing this game. I mean I hardly see anyone at all at even though Im still tier 1 but DAMN, So far I feel like Im playing an offline game with some peeps passing by once and while.
I would like to find a server that has some decent amount of peeps.

Don't freak out.
Mythic started the game with WAY too many servers in anticipation for a massive MMO PVP player shift. This is becoming evident to the MMO community. The shift did not happen due to one reason or another, so they have to merge servers now or face some serious issues down ther road.
In order for the RvR in this game to work properly, it needs huge amounts of people on at a given time, defending and attacking something. No people, no War. So its necessary in order to keep going.
They can re-open more servers later when they reach their pre-release hype numbers of 2 million or whatever.
If you like the game, move your character to a HIGH pop server. You simply arent gonna be able to replace the missing opponents with the poor PvE content in the game. Its PvP based so.. go where the PLAYERS are.
Other servers.
"TO MICHAEL!"
Basically, you're being offered the chance to move from a low pop server to a med pop server. In addition to the possiblity that their numbers might be off, they overcompensated in the 1st place and opened too many servers.
From what I've read about the 4 destination servers, they having an active RvR core and scenarios are popping.
I'm moving to Gorfang.

It's not an option, move! You do not want to be left behind on one of those servers after the transfers are done.
COME TO MONOLITH!
They have fewer players than expected, opened way too many servers to start (the staggered CE head start, SE head start and retail starts made things worse). They also have upped the player limits on the servers.
Take the free transfer when it pops. It will be worth while and I wouldn't be surprised if the low pop servers are retired at some point.
The servers eligible to be transfered to are offering XP and Renown bonuses for everyone. So it's a good deal all around.
Today is just phase one, more servers will join the program as we move forward.
There is a guild transfer option as well that guilds on effected servers should look into.
Does this prove the numbers are and huge as they anticipated? Yes. However, thank goodness Mythic is right on the ball with this with a quick fix for the population issues. Most games would wait a year, until the game is dead, to do server mergers. By then it's too late.
This will only strengthen the game moving forward.

It's not offered on the transfer listing, but if you re-roll on Averheim you'll see a community that is both active across the tiers, scenarios that pop and a pretty balanced population in terms of Order and Destro numbers.
I did
Do you have a good guild

its hard to find players in medium ones, if you are still in a low one, better play a single player game seriously.
I do, I'm currently a trial member at BbB (http://www.bbbguild.org), and I'm loving it. Great community, a lot of them have been playing together since DAoC - it's great logging on at almost anytime of the day and seeing at the very least 18 people online (the vast majority of people are T3 to mid T4). Primetime there's a good 35 members online, with groups for just about everything - PQs, Scenarios and ORvR.
