Or so BioWare hopes.
SWTOR activated its United Forces update today, condensing the game’s entire roster of servers down to a mere five shards. The spin on this merge is that it will allow “players to discover new guilds, new friends, and jump into multiplayer content more easily.”
As players and guilds adjust to the merge and see if they’ve retained their names, BioWare is hoping that a few promotions will bring the crowds through the doors. The studio has added more character slots to every account, is giving away a free Mini Mogul droid pet to players who log in over the next couple of weeks, and is running a promotion to give out a new Darth Hexid companion for those who run a few group activities this month.
