Signed! So much yes! This will greatly help control the population of servers. If people see a server is ready to bust but isn't quite there, they'll often opt for a lower populated server (unless they have friends waiting). Instead of leaving us in the dark and having SE just randomly shut off the ability to create new characters on a server, which can really ruin the game if a friend is just a little to late.

This is a feature in WoW and it greatly affected my choice when picking a server. (not saying I want a WoW clone, just that it is something that is proven to work)

I think it would be a very good idea to have the server population density displayed along with the server name.
Something as simple as (Low, Medium, High, Very High) would be very useful for players trying to decide which server to be on and would hopefully help to prevent more server overpopulation problems, since without the information players are just forced to guess and hope that the server they choose isn't full up.

(Please note that this is a petition for a much requested feature and is not a "bitching" thread. I appreciate everyone's support and comments on the topic, but let's please keep the replies polite and respectful. Thank you.)

Genius. Sign me up. This would definitely alleviate my low level of patience....now we just gotta figure out how to talk to SE.

This will be useful, even after the existing problems are resolved.

Signed.

Though I bet they only implement this feature on JP servers.....

Great idea!

This feature should have been present since Day 1. /signed

along side a working queue system and a free world transfer after the patch. SE these are the things that keep customers happy and money in your pocket. smh

Yoshida has said that they will be looking into fixing the queue system as well as an AFK auto-boot system after they get server fixes in, so hopefully these things will get dealt with quickly once the new servers are up.

As for the free server transfers, I agree and actually started up a petition thread about it earlier today.
Here is the link.
