While the idea of very large-scale battles may be attractive, please bear in mind that the SWG servers cannot support huge battles - server load is just to much as has been repeatedly demonstrated on Eclipse. For example, when a DJK spawns in MOP or is dragged there and about 40-50 toons attack it, the lag becomes horrendous (and I have a 1 Mbs ADSL con and a high-end rig). I can't imagine what a 100+ player set-too would be like, but I'd say pretty unplayable.


Besides, I agree with a poster above that severs have their own character and "feel". If your server is too empty then move to a more populous one like Eclipse or Bria - but be prepared for lag in popular spots or even planets like Dantooine.

Bad idea, unless all resources, objects, moneyetc is transferred anda reallybig compensation of loosing the sell-sites/stores for the persons that is forced to move.


Since the objects, resources etc would be transferred or any compensation wouldn'tbe offered and if it would happen, many would quit the game and therefore killing the game a bit more.
