Room for another master over there?
Thinking about the usual populated servers, but I just don't know. I've been on Scylla since my first day but there's pretty much no one left that I associate with. The only thing really holding me back is the loss of what little credits I have on Scylla (approx.5 mil in the bank plus all my stuff to sell)
I find eclipse to be a well rounded server. Im a rebel and while my home world is rebel it's just about a 50-50 split galaxy wide as far as the GCW. As for MS I see a few but not too many, Im always asked to slice or make gaming tables but not overwhelmed with tells about it. Also, my guild is one of the oldest and we run fort krayt (neutral city). Ive been on eclipse since day one but have some alts on other servers, hands down I love eclipse....

I went to Eclipse when I wanted to make a new character to become a Jedi. I'm now re-creating my Smuggler on Eclipse (couldn't transfer 'cause he's glowy, don't get me started on that) as my Jedi's alt. I was just going to make a different character as my alt on Eclipse, but I decided I wanted to play full time there, 'cause it's a great place to be! I'm keeping Renn on Radiant, since he's got a large house full of quest items and loot, about 2.5 mil in the bank, and whole bunch of badges (including the three original story arc badges), but I think he'll be "away on business" pretty much all of the time unless there's a cross-server event (which has happened before...)

Are you telling me that I can't xfer my main because he feels glowy? If thats the case then I now royally screwed. I got him to glowy just so that I could say he is and get a little boost to my tk skills.

Yep, no glowies can be transfered to other servers. Also keep in mind if you were to transfer you would lose everything but skills, Credits, Cloths, Loot, Homes, etc, all gone.

Ok, you got me started on this...
I read in a patch note that badges will now transfer. This was great, since all I really wanted from my Radiant Smuggler was his skills ('cause I didn't want to regrind 'em) and his badges ('cause he had the three original Story Arc badges you can't get any more).
I went asking around. First, I sent an email to customer support, and they obviously didn't read it, 'cause they sent back a form letter pointing me to the website page on transfers, which I'd already read. Then I went to the CS forum and got an answer, first from another player, then from a CS rep.
The answer was, you cannot transfer a character that is glowing with the Force. This made no real sense to me, as getting glowy is very easy to do, even without trying (I was at that point before Pub 10, was glowy on patch day when I logged in). Most long-time players would be glowy, so this cuts out I'd say 90% of the people who may want to use the transfer service.
(The rep also said badges do not transfer, though I swore I read that in some patch note, but I can't find it 'cause I can't get to the old patch notes.)
Basically, I read somewhere that it's not really a transfer, all they really do is re-create your character's appearance and skills on the new server and delete the character from the old one.
Anyway, to make a long story short (too late), I'm regrinding my Smuggler on Eclipse 'cause I couldn't transfer him.

Hmmm. Sounds like what I said when I found out...
The Character Transfer page states that Force Sensitive Characters cannot be transferred, but they failed to specify what "Force Sensitive" means. Since it's simply Glowing, something that can't be dropped, I'm surprised they have any transfers happening at all.
Just re-create him. Won't take horribly long to grind him back, especially if you can get someone to give you a head start with some cash, etc.
