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

Finally, America hates America.
It was bound to happen some day.
Mwuhahahahaaa.

Oh how wrong you are, European countries that did not get the game at initial release and Middle Eastern countries are getting the game, finally.

U.S has had more attention than any one country has so far, you know the downtimes are pretty much specifically timetabled for US players?

Asia/Oceanic transfers are first because they can't even play the game properly on EU/US servers, that is why.

Stop with the America First act already.

The server down times are the way they are is because of where the Dev team is.

So when BioWare states that the maintenance window was picked to coincide with the lowest concurrent population globally, they are just lying?

If it was picked for reasons of provincial convenience, they would not have picked a window that begins at 2 am....

They don't want to do server mergers. At all. Ever. Server mergers make a game look bad, at least according to the guys in the suits, so they are going to do anything and everything else first. That's why mergers are not a priority... voluntary character transfers (which are a priority and are being worked on right now) are going to be tried first and they aren't even going to begin to consider mergers unless transfers fail to help.

As far as releasing the game in new countries goes, again... not one single person involved in that is also involved in getting character transfers or ranked warzones done. Programmers do not set up new server farms or market the game in new countries. IT techs and marketing guys do not write code. If they stopped expanding into new markets today it would not make any of the features you want show up one second earlier, and if they decide to expand into 50 more countries tomorrow it will not make the features you want show up one second later.

As a reminder: these instructions only apply to the Asia-Pacific character transfer system. A more advanced character transfer system is being developed.

To those who say they aren't working on server mergers or transfers. Right from the horses mouth



wait what was that?!?!?!? A more advanced character transfer system... being developed?

Yes, you are being reduced to nothingness as a US player. Gimme a break.

We pay less than others due to exchange rates and fees, we have better patch times(unless you only play during the graveyard shift). We also have greater access to any BW/SWTOR sponsored events.

Weep elsewhere.
