The problem isn't in the backups, sure they probably do have backups. The problem actually lies in us. You, Me, and all the other players very likely don't have backups. If they roll back the game, it will cause us to have to re-download the ENTIRE game. I don't know about you but due to my connection speeds and the fact I don't leave my computer online 24/7, a 12 gb download would cause me to be out the entire weekend.

Other folks will be less inconvenienced as they will be able to get it down in less than a day. Still that's likely 2 days, the downtime today to roll it back if thats what they do. Then a day on top of that for most players to download the game again to patch it to Pre-1.2.

For the first time since I got the game, I've uninstalled it and will not be back. Thank you, BioWare. You have gone from the Kings of RPGs to a mediocre game developer, and now finally so far down that I'm extremely skeptical to buying anything from you again. Way to go.
Well that's your opinion and you are entitled to it. Best of luck in the future.

Anyway, one of the failsafes that I have is that I sub to a few games, I like to play games and will be playing on my 50s in Rift today while the Bio-Fail machine tries to salvage what is left of this Fail Sauce of a update lmao! Rift is offering free up to lvl 20. I say, try it out - their graphics engine blows this game away completely. It's a fun game, nice bunch of ppl there, things WORK - funny how that is in a proper MMO. Nothing is instanced out except for dungeons/raids. We have World events, zone events, monsters everywhere, fun prizes, cool mounts and cute fluff - I love pets. If you're familiar with the EQ franchise, I also play EQ2, they have shinies too

My advice to all you ppl here is to not get too mad, well I'm pissed off to be sure but go and play something else that's fun and just enjoy yourself trying something new. If you like it, great and if not, well, there are other free to try games and who knows, you may find something you like - fancy that

AND... there is no "if you stop the dl you can pick up again at that point". No. You start ALL over.

Worst system EVER for a dl that large.

my only beef with this whole boondoggle is they shouldve known better. ive been an IT manager for over a decade.. and i would never implement so many changes all at once. we all know you can only test so much in a test environment. so why go live with all these changes all at once, i for one am glad they didnt do the ranked warzones. that would be just another layer of broken failness .. instead of a massive change like this.. why not just release it piece meal. that way if something breaks its much easier to diagnose and fix..
