Due to the massive decrease in the playerbase, many servers became virtual ghost towns. To allow players to play on more populated servers, the Free Character Transfer Service (FCTS) allowed players on half of the servers to transfer to more populatated servers. Here is more info -

forums.station.sony.com/swg/posts/list.m

Since you have had a toon(s) on Ahazi, it does not qualify for the FCTS. You will have to pay to transfer if you want your elder toon on another server. If you haven't played for a long time, then I suggest you reroll a toon on a healthy destination server. In fact, go try a few of them and see for yourself. While Ahazi has players, it is not as populated as other destination servers. The honor of the most populated server goes to Starsider. Bloodfin, Flurry and Bria still have viable populatuions worth playing on. Some destination servers are doing quite poorly, like Gorath and Radiant.

I have no intention of re-rolling for this game.

It took long enough getting my toon where it was.

The best server by far is Nova.

Tried: LotR, CoH, AoC, WAR, Jumpgate Classic
Played: SWG, Guild Wars, WoW
Playing: Eve Online, Counter-strike
Loved: Star Wars Galaxies
Waiting for: Earthrise, Guild Wars 2, anything sandbox.

Then I do not understand why you are asking "which server is good these day?" I only suggested rerolls for you to take a look at other servers....not to grind them out . If you have no intention of leaving Ahazi, then your question is still answered.  Ahazi isn't one of the most populated servers, but it should have enough players (probably at more specific times) for you to particpate in the newer content during your free trial period.

Good Luck.

Yeah, my last time on Kauri I scoured the entire server and found 5 people online, 4 of them were afk. That was over a year ago, so I'm sure those 5 have left by now.

Hey SmurfMagic,

Ahazi is doing pretty well, it's up there in the top most populated servers.

I put together some stats here that will give you an idea of how the server populations are in relation to each other:

I hope that helps.

For best PVP server I'd go to Bloodfin, Most RP/ Most Populated is Starsider, they also have pretty good space pvp events, and the best community (most friendly to new players who haven't played forever) is probably Sunrunner, I once rolled a character on that server and everyone was soo nice.
