Wow was going to read all of this but after 16 pages it just repeats all the time ,

I work grave yard shift, weekends mostly, My main play times are during patch times too, and I live east coast USA, I SUCK IT UP THAT PATCHES NEED TO HAPPEN.

It is a global Client with out region blocking, If your client file doesnt match the one the server is running you cannt play, so unless BW changes it to region blocking and regions only client files, they can not can not do staggered patching.

I miss those first few weeks of patchs,wish they would bring them back, Remember those days they took down both the servers and the forums at the same time. when they where back up again, frist two pages of the forums wassnt filled with thread after thread of whining that They had to patch or fix the game.

If you're really so hurt that they had to take down the game for a patch for now Unsub , really please quit playing, go back to what ever game you where playing or go back to playing single player games that down need a server to run and internet,

Oceania is one of those server time zones.

The man was right.
I don't know who taught you grammar and math but 'the majority in the server time zones' refers to a single majority not one in each time zone.

To be honest I don't realy see the problem why BW doesn't fix this isue. ok they have to split up the maintenance but all in all it is still the same work.

BW has magical persons called developers. I don't think it's that big of a problem to make three different clients that work with the existing infarastructure. They just need to add three identifiers so they can filter the respective regions. all three clients can be part of every installation so people in europe playing on other regions or vice versa can still play on those regions. only drawback is that when you update a client to play on a server you have to wait until other servers get patched until you can switch to an other region. I don't see that as a big problem to be honest.

I have been playing MMO's since Ultima Online came out and I don't ever remember a multi-hour downtime back to back days in a row in any other game. I don't claim to have played them all but I have played alot. I have been a big advocate of SW:TOR and I still love the game however this is the first time I really have to agree with some of the complainers.

Ah, the old 'I know english better than you, so I'm smarter' thing.

The guy was refering to the fact that there are servers that have a whole tab to themselves that are labelled OCEANIC. And the MAJORITY of the people who play there are on or near Australian time. So therefore, the majority of people in the (oceanic) server time zones are being inconvenienced.

But you knew that already, you just like trolling.
