You made it sound like all players were getting 30 days.
Odd. I have had the opposite result. Every time I have an issue and I calmly address the issue with whichever company is involved, I get positive results.

And I realise that nobody is SAYING to act like two year olds but if you have read any of the threads on the board here, you can't say that many are NOT acting like two year olds.

I'm sorry but I don't understand your last sentence? ETA: Doh! Cos it's not addressed to me. That tears it...more coffee needed.

Hope it's a short maint and we wll get back in sooner rather than later.

1.2 = major patch, major changes, and of course there are going to be major problems. Anyone with half a brain in thier head would understand that this happens, on every MMO that has ever existed.

Unsubscribe and go away if you don't like/understand.
Nobodies whining about the need for the patch. People are whining about the time. If this was during the American timezone, there would be hell to pay, and half the MMO gaming websites would be bashing on Bioware for it.

Indeed it would be nice if we could take turns around the world.
I live in the EU and find it very nice to be able to play with people from outside the EU - unlike in WoW.

However, I too get frustrated at times when the servers are down in the afternoon here. I fully understand the servers needs to be taken down at times, but, as others has mentioned before in this post, it would be fair if Bioware could perhaps make it, so the different player bases around the world took turns with the downtime in thier primetime.

I too would like to experience the servers being offline during the night.

Kind regards and whishes to see people from the US, Australia, Asia and whereever on the servers.

3 more hours I believe. 3am for Kiwi's, and 1am for Australians. Though others have suspected it will only take them 2 hours. However, given the issues that arose with 1.2, I imagine they will take their time checking everything this time around.

This is the only company I know in the history of MMO's that don't spilt the EU and US server maintenence.

Way to piss off the other half of your customer base.

There is a reason the majority of MMO's patch during the night.

Thats an entirely different issue though.
If they need to patch ASAP it means there are bugs that need to be rectified pronto. Left unattended those bugs would manifest way more grief onto the forums with a myrid of post. Emergency patching is common across any IT deployment not only MMO. Its only a few hours, you guys have the whole weekend.

Let me get this straight, you are saying American's got the game much earlier then anyone. On top of that inferring that if they are not American they are more loyal to the game.

I must have been in an alternate reality when I played in early release & December with friends and players from Europe and Asia.
