You are right , need to update it to 4 months played and 2 paid.

I was cheated to come back for the new Jesus patch 1.4... I liked the new bugs!
SWG----------------- 8 years played, 7 active accounts at June 2011.
SWTOR------------- 6 months played. BACK ONLY FOR PATCHS .

BW...Something is failing here, don't you think?

I have a feeling there is something very wrong that makes all servers go down. I am prety sure the servers wont be up in the closest couple of hours.
Oh really?

Deep in the human unconscious is a pervasive need for a logical universe that makes sense. But the real universe is always one step beyond logic.

So Bioware, what happened to the servers to cause them all to crash and take over 5 hours to come back up?

After countless hours of building such a patch you would think they could and would test deployment method in this case rolling it out on identical servers and load the server down and deploy said patch to see if it does crash the servers or what. If this patch is the cause of the server issue then should just roll the server back to 7:30am or whenever the last good configurations for the server was then go back to testing the bloody patch out on yet again dummy servers so that the population whom is PAYING FOR SAID service is able to utilize said service instead of sitting there saying we are investigating it and we have no ETA. Though in all reality we have no legal actions nor any promise that the servers are to be playable so they could techincallyleave em down for days on end and nothing we could do except quit paying for it. Which this kinda issue will further cost Bioware customers...at least the impatient ones so with the decline in the population since Launch and continual decline in population you would think they would try to prevent these issues but here we are faced with yet another issue and random patching instead of set days like MOST BIG MMOS
From a gaming development point of view. When you develop something that is to be released to a mass amount of people, you rigorously try and design your product so that there are of course no bugs, and you try and design it where it is impossible for someone to find a glitch or a flaw to cause something that was not intended. This can be from as little as not allowing a boss to be beaten through a glitch, to a series of particular events and circumstances that would cause instability. You then have a team look at what has been developed from every possible angle and incorporate additional changes where needed, when everyone finally feels that everything is as good as it can be, it is sent to quality control where they again rigorously test and attack the work that has been completed in order to create bugs or instability. They do this with the intent of making it work on any machine the game is designed to work on... Then of course it is released...

And yet, despite all your hard work... "The internet [in reference to all the users] will always find a way to break it."

This made me LOL.

This comment makes sense if by rare you meant common and add "this week" after happen.
