I don't mind the downtime for server maintenance, it must happen, but why does it always have to be prime time for Oceanic servers? Spread the pain, and do the damn patches in prime time for US servers for once. I am new to the game, and so far, server downtime accoutns for about 6 playing sessions. Any more in the next couple of weeks, I think I may find a new MMO!!!!

As a minium one free day needs to be added to all subscribed accounts for this unacceptable lack of service due to their own mistakes in patching.

However as they have never given a single minute of free time before I doubt it will happen.

Might be a case for some legal eagles to have a look at as it seems to me to be a clear breach of contract.

It was six, I believe. Scheduled for 8 and was back early. My understanding is that something was wrong and they needed to get it fixed, otherwise I'd bet (truly) they would NOT have done it today because right now they are on a lot of peoples' uh...list. I don't think they could wait either that or they are completely nuts and if THAT is the case, it'll show sooner rather than later.

As for maint. times...it's how it goes with a global client. There's benefits to global clients and there are downsides. Maint. times are downsides for those not in the same region as the business.

Be nice if they could do something about it but don't hold yer breath...it's a tall order.

A) Not everyone works during the day, just cause you do, have some consideration for other people (although I'm not sure if you do, since you are typing this now)

B) This also effects Australia / NZ / Singapore and the rest, that it is 9pm there so peak time on a Friday night.

C) Bioware seem incapable (or simply ignorant) of anyone outside America of how it effects them otherwise they would have done what Blizzard did with WoW and put them on separate time schedules for mait and downtime.

SWTOR is supposed to be a contender against wow.... look how they do the little things BW (like patch times) and you will be on the right track. Thing is, they have 3 server batches, US, EU, Asia (or something), not hard to start them off at different times so that they don't inconvenience the majority in the server time zones.

They gave me 30 days free yesterday.
