You are absolutely right. Even if it's an "emergency," you should still send out a server-wide message letting people know. Sounds like they have a bunch of project managers running the place instead of IT people...lol.

If you like DBZ and fanmade redubs (AKA abridged series) check out: http://www.teamfourstar.com . Click it now, thank me later.
I'll probably die if you group with me, but I'll go out with both lightsabers drawn stabbing someone in the face. Probably you, but it's cool. Forever Shenanigans!!

Actually not really

we have 100up and down where I work (UK), granted its and expensive line but given all the satellite sites and vpn access the syncronised uplink is just as important and the down link.

That said in Europe UKs internet is not that good compared to the rest of it. but 50+mbits is not that uncommon for some residentials people now

I'm sure the techs know how to deal with the issues better than you do. If i'm wrong, maybe you should apply for a job at BW and improve the user experience!

I don't get the reasoning: "We want you to have the best playing experience, so we are gonna REMOVE the experience completely for the reminder of your evening while we try to provide that."...speaking from a EU point in time.

Also I don't get how they manage to time after time after time after time after time generate so much rage. It's odd.

Last update from @SWTOR on twitter was 45 minutes ago. This is absurdly long for a restart.

You would think that BioWare would learn from all the previous times we have complained about a lack of communication. This is exactly what we're talking about. No posts in the thread since about 2:15. It is currently 4:39 Central.

Seriously: you guys need to hire some gamers to run your community. I would never in a billion years think that one update every 2 hours would be sufficient for a forum thread.
I am interested in doing some podcasting work in my free time. Specifically, the subjects I am interested in podcasting about are video games and sports. If you have a podcast and are looking for help from an experienced broadcaster, please send me a PM.
