Agreed! I only knew because a guildie mentioned he got a Twitter text. Guess it's time for grocery shopping.

Bioware, its nice that you do something to fix it, but is it too much to ask that you bother to use the server broadcast function and make us aware that you are pulling the server down on a sunday night? Definately not making you look very bright.

Thanks for the heads up. Wasn't like I was in the middle of a raid or something.

Oh wait...

20 million hours and they will be up, I guarantee it. Might be sooneer though, I cannot guarantee that.

Agreed... Should we continue to browse the Forums for the next 30 minutes? Should we go see the Amazing Spiderman since it will take at least that long? Should we not even bother to log in until after Tuesday's maintenance?

BioWare needs to hold our hands so we know if we can leave our computers or not.

Well... if I can imagine the conversation round the BW dev table, its going something like

"Holy crap, we have been down for ages, Ben, what's the issue with that lag?"
"Well... we have run some tests... some more tests, and then ran a test"
"and?"
"We don't' know what's causing it"
"well, &*^%*&"
"We did have an idea though"
"Great! Let's hear it!"
"We put the servers back up, there will still be the same lag issue, but people will probably blame it on the fact that 123,234,945 people are trying to log in and how incompetent we are because we didn't plan for that"
"Great plan, Ben, let's do it!"
hahaha, still laughing ;-)

I just called Bioware. They said " It is emergency maintenance and restart of the servers with no ETA on when the servers will be back up." I also asked if we would get any kind of credit on our accounts since issue 1.3 has knocked us out of about 1 week of game time. I was told "IF we are going to do anything it would be on the forums. That is where you should look for these questions." Nice to know we will be paying money to look at forums if we need customer service. I should also note I work overnights and my friends are day time workers. Sunday is the only day we mesh on our schedules and can play as a guild. Of course all the mainenance also occurs at night so the overnight crowd is once again asked to cope.

Bioware should give extra days for all!
