Trolls like you that keep butting in telling us how we should feel about the way we are being treated is getting very very old though.
I am sure the view is good from your ivory tower, for the people that have seen a good part of their meager playing time taken away once again the view isn't so nice.
I cannot expect empathy from some like you, with your IQ issues. But have the courtesy to stay out of something that does not concern you please.
Looks like your still stuck on stage 2 of grief.. need to move on to stage 3 like some people have already.

This kind of stuff right here pisses me off. Stop acting like all americans are bad, or selfish. You know I had a hugh rant about this typed but decided this wasnt the place or time for it. But grow up ok?

If none of those people came into these threads and said that sort of thing no one would mention the USA.
more untruths.

OK, I can do this too. *puts on protesting activist, expose the evil empire hat*

It's so UNFAIR the way you say EU players are innocent of any hate speech....they only react to the evil Americans!

I am SICK of hate speech toward the US and the fact that Bioware does NOTHING to stop it!

Bioware, you let these EU players oppress me on the forums! How could you????

I am UNSUBBING because of all this disrespect and all this partiality and the fact that the EU gets to keep their million page rant thread!

I demand compensation for all of the mental instability and damages I have suffered!!

*takes off hat*

Yeah, looks pretty dumb doesn't it. Y'all have fun. I'm gonna go clean my house as scrubbing the toilets will offer more insight than this.

If 'things' come up, you do NOT put the fix in, you run it through quality control again. And again, if the fix was so important and ready when the announcement was made, they could have applied it then and there. If there wasnt one single person on call then the department responcible for server maintenance really dont know what the hell they are supposed to be doing.
Laugh it up, Fuzzball...

I understand downtime is part of new MMOs, but why not tell us what was being addressed? I understand regularly scheduled maintenance wouldn't have that, but when you do it on a Friday night/Saturday morning, that's one of the "prime" times for MMO play - why not tell us what is going on that needs a fix?

Where have I said we are superior to you 'yanks' there are muppets on both sides who stick their oar in where its not needed or asked for.

As for 'taking it up with bioware' - well this is their offical forums - this is the thread that they directed us to when they closed all the other threads. where else woulld you like me to take it?
Ok you are clearly having trouble comprehending the particulars of this so I will try and slow down.

"Take it up with Bioware" in a mature manner. See how adding in the mature thing changes the entire context? Yeah, you left that out in your reply. Imagine that.

I said it was a general you. Which means not you you. If you're trying to say EU people are not in here acting like they're more entitled than we are, then you obviously haven't been reading this thread. Similarly, I was not speaking of *you* unsubbing. I was speaking of the other people in the general you category that are, and still are posting about how they're "so close to cancelling".

It's not even primetime yet In Europe, so people here who complain that BW did maintenance during primetime should reconsider their daily schedules. They did the maintenance on saturday morning. I don't have a problem with them doing maintenance during daytime and yes I live in Europe.

Tell that to EVERY MMO creator ever who has extended their downtime...ie every one of them. You must be new here.

Two valid scenarios (IMHO):

1. Critical game breaking bug that cannot wait until next scheduled maintenance - patch ASAP and provide a valid explanation. Also don't close the forums like in China! People will still QQ but rational people will understand.

2. Non critical bug that can wait until next scheduled maintenance. Problem solved.

I have a feeling that there was some sort of game breaking bug involved that BioWare did not want to share, for whatever reason.

Sorry - how on earth did that have any relavence to what I posted.

people get upset because they are treated worse than other subscribers. They say (truthfully so) that they are treated as second class gamers when it comes to maintenance times.

People come in and attack them and say they are QQing - when you read those peoples descriptions and locations they turn out to be north american.

so, people who are not affected by maintenance times come and make fun of people who are, and wonder why there is a bit of negativity...
