i too have cancelled my subscriptions, i still have about 50 days left on current, but i think ill give them a month by month trial for a few to see how much longer this is happening. im playing in australia and its infuriating not only we dont have servers yet, but the time of these constant maints is my friends and i's, only chance to play.

Not everyone falls into your "need to look at your issues" category. Some of us do have lives, but when we want to play, and that play time is not available, we start to look at other MMO's without so much downtime.
Sorry mate, but I am a 20 year veteran of being a Trawler-man, working for days on end is not new to me. To be honest it would be my fault if I came home an complained I couldn't play tor because I was too tiered from work.

How exactly is it Bioware fault that you work at odd times?. Surly it's down to you to either make time to play or find a game you can play?.
It's only a few hours an its the first time the servers have come down twice in 2 days.

It wouldn't be bad if it wasn't so often

I dont really see tor as a MMO anyway but I dont care how often they take servers down. Hell EVE Online comes down every single night for 15 mins without fail. an its 8 years old.

If your life is so narrowly focused that you get mad at not playing a game for a few hours, you need to look at your issues to be frank.
I think everyone would gladly take 15 minutes a night without fail. Hell that's less than 2 hours a week. I would find that perfectly acceptable.

Seeing as how I play Eve I know they are able to put patches in that 15 minute time frame (it's actually 30 minutes by the way).

Doesn't change the fact that those of us who work at night and get off hoping to play the game don't get to play because of these updates / patches / fixes makes it frustrating.

Now that is 100% false. CCP takes 24 to 48 hours for a patch.

The daily reset at 0 GMT is for a minor restart.

15 mins would be perfectly OKAY compared to 8hrs and 2hrs and anything OVER 1hr... sigh..

Again it isn't down to bioware to work around your work times, I understand you might feel frustrated, but again it is down to you to make time.

I regret paying for the first 6 months in one payment. I won't do that again, and I probably won't play 6 months from now. Seriously? There are way too many level 50's and the game hasn't been out two months yet. This game is way too easy.
