U.S. seems to be pushed to the back burner while foreign countries are priority.

Well put.

It's business. They've achieved the easy market penetration in the US. Getting additional subscribers (or even keeping current ones) takes work at this point. (And they seem to be doing some of that work.)

There is easy money in new countries. They're going after it.

All about the $$$$$.

New box sales will outweigh US subs by a wide margin. Then they'll have subs world wide after it's all said and done.

Business is business.

Fact is Bioware is looking to cash in on a new market that maybe more forgiving then us westerners. Can you really blame them all they hear from us is how their game sucks for this and that reason? New optimistic market > jaded western mmo market.

It's not just the US that suffers, the entire game suffers while they add new localizations.

No. Prime time in Europe is 10 am CDT to 8 pm CDT (see http://www.torstatus.net/tomb-of-fre...on-nadd/24h/7d). The maintenance window is 2 am CDT to 6 am CDT. So the maintenance window occurs before the European peak.

thats been a real problem for me as well since 1.2

I have to admit, this made me chuckle :P

The truth is this game is developed in the United States, so why wouldn't it release in US first, maintenance schedule be set around U.S. time frames, etc.. Half the U.S. servers are barron wastelands that people confuse for single player games. This issue has been on going for atleast 2 months, and there is no end in sight to a resolution.

The developers failed to release promised content making the server population dive even farther down. Instead of appearing to work harder,faster to get the content out they are just working on pulling in more money from the rest of the world. Is it worth paying $15 a month with broken/missing content in a single player game?

The OP does not speak for all Americans. I am happy to see other regions around the world receiving much needed attention.

Sorry, everything doesn't revolve around the US you know.
