Bioware has released further larger waive of available servers for transfer. The list is rather large now, a full list is available at http://www.swtor.com/transfer. I have personally completed my transfer yesterday. It took about 5 minutes. My new server is great there were already 260 people on the Fleet and there are still people transferring. Main Chat was buzzing with calls for Flashpoints and Operations. I some players are calling this SWTORS Second Launch.

As promised Bioware has started its free Server Transfer service today. It is however very limited to only 4 north american servers and 6 European servers. This is disapointing for players who are in low population servers and are not on the list of selected servers. On the positive side more servers will be added soon.

Here is the list of current Origin and Destination Servers

Keller's Void to Jedi Covenant

Hedarr Soongh to The Fatman

Fa'athra to Drooga's Pleasure Barge

Kath Hound to The Ebon Hawk

Zayne Carrick to Vanjervalis Chain

Eye of Ashlanae to The Red Eclipse

The Shadow Runner to Tomb of Freedon Nadd

Kessel Run to Battle Meditation

Ven Zallow to Jung Ma

The Courageous to Canderous Ordo

Rakata Mind Prison to The Bastion

Soresu to The Harbinger

Lord Ieldis to Begeren Colony

Shaltin Tunnels to The Progenitor

Mecrosa Order to Darth Nihilus

Stereb Cities to The Jedi Tower

The Restoration Zone to Jar'Kai Sword

Phateem Halls of Knowledge to Mantle of the Force

Players that are planning to transfer their characters should remember to write down their friends and ignore lists, empty their mailbox and auctions as these things will not move with your character to the new server.

When SWTOR's Lead Game Designer Daniel Erickson was asked about cross server LFG tool in PC Gamer's interview he answered:

"They will not be cross-server as we are coming up on a huge move to servers with massively higher population caps than we have today."

This seems to suggest that we could see a large server merge to servers that will host a much higher player population, or "Mega Servers". Although server mergers do not usually suggest that a game is doing well, in SWTORs case I believe they added too many servers at launch to handle the initial login storm. For SWTOR a server merge is very badly needed. Source: PCGamer.com
