There is a lot of talk about taking some of the less populated servers and joining them with others to up the population on servers. While this is all rumor, I am wondering how would they deal with player cites on the server that got moved to the server with more pop. ? I would love to have more people to interact with but don't want to lose my items , cash or city. Just wondering what people think.

My guess is that if this happens SOE won't consolidate, what they will do is offer you a free character transfer w/items (and will allow stuff to move that can't be moved with the pay service, and allow FS and jedi to move) to a select list of servers (likely the medium pop ones). All things point to this, with the revamps in the transfer service, and the new feature that lets you pack your house up, items and all, into your datapad...
Those that are left after the transfer offer will then be required to transfer, then those that didn't (probably inactives) would likely be moved to another server of the Devs choosing.
That said, I think that new servers might be added in the future, but it might not be a bad idea to kill off the ones that are low pop now and that are ghost towns.

As far asI know population is up and there is no current plan to merge servers.

Pack and play is the first step to server consolidation.
I'm confident that they will merge one or more servers by the end of 2006. No doubt.

I agree many servers mean much work to keep them running. I guess they'll merge a few servers as soon as the whole house picking up thing works.
Of course they won't add the then "free" CSRs to the other galaxies but I suppose they'll have to leave, too

I would welcome more people to interact with as long as I dont lose anything in the process. Player Cites on the servers deleted would be hard to move I think. I guess we wait and see. Thanks for the imput.

They said at Fan Fest, they have no plan to do this. They're doing the house pack up so they can clear out the ghost towns on the servers. With the city caps in place, this is the only way to pull up the ghost towns and squatters so other folks can start their own cities.

Yep.
But they also said in beta we would have three factions as well.. Rebel, Imperial, and Hutt.
...just saying...
Anyway, I hope that I am wrong, but for some reason I know it will happen.
