So hows that working out for you?
So far every single patch and maintenance has been 8am onwards.... hardly off peak at all.

Just wondering when this is actually going to happen?
8am to 12 am is off peak.

I finally managed to pursuade a friend from work who is a massive fan of another game to give this one a try. I really hope he didn't buy it yet otherwise I am going to look like an idiot on Monday when I have to explain:

"Yes, they did remove a good chunk of the weekend for pointless maintainence. No, it's not uncommon for them to scre over the european players. Yes, I did recommened you actually paid money for that sort of service. No, I won't make any game suggestions to you again. Sorry."

Nothing starts a morning like laughter, well that and coffee. It's going to be a good day, and my friend Woody in Canterbury agrees.
Saturday mornng is pime time for me, it is where I chose to fit in my mmo game time in my schedule.

I especially like how they try to silence people during down times by closing forum posting as well. If you don't like angry customers , do a better job Bioware. Or maybe making MMOs is not your thing ?

Blizzard Entertainment can do it ? you cant ? why not if i may ask ?

Our servers are hosted in Ireland right ?
So whats the problem here ?
Blizzard has 2 client sofware, 1 of US 1 or EU, and the servers are separated meaning that you can't choose which region you want to play in on 1 client software like SWTOR is. When in comes to patches, if they do the maintenance separately with patches but only 1 client, you would be locked out of your servers because those servers would not have been patched yet, but your client has been because it is 1 client for both regions.

The people that were experiences the disconnect thank the EU players for their sacrifice so that we can all now enjoy a game that does not disconnect to character screen.

Sure we could have waited till Tuesday and all, sure we could have just dealt with being in warzones about to gain our daily win and be booted to character screen. I mean your 5 1/2 hours of playtime in the middle of the day on a Saturday is so much more important than my time.

Again I truly want to thank you guys in the EU, as well as those night owls in the states and the Asian RED ZONE faction players for there loss in game time so that I may play the game the same as you guys.

Sincerely all the people the this disconnect issue.
I've got a bad feeling about this forum.

jesus christ EU player, quit complaining. it 4 hours. go outside or something. its not that bw hates the EU, they just think its the best time to roll out a patch. and if its a weekend patch, then its important. would rather play a broken game or a somewhat fixed game?
