Funny, that's exactly why I still play the game when I get the chance. Dead servers means no people bothering me whilst I'm playing, making it more of a single player experience, instead of queuing up by a spawn point to finish a quest.
I think it's more of a "We've already made a profit just from selling the game at retail. Now lets get some longevity by getting more Subscriptions" While they did go overboard with the number of servers, the community has itself to blame. All I seen the first 2 1/2 months was "OMG, I have to wait in a queue for 5 minutes? What BS!"
very true, but they should have already been merging servers...but that would be like admitting defeat; EA and Bioware are both pretty smug about that...they don't know what to do if they cant blame it on pirating.
