Pretty stupid that they want to make sure that the game is up and running smoothly so you don't come here complaining that your Sith keeps falling through the world and eveytime you use an XP boost, your character turns into a floating green square.

Seriously, dude, they just want the game run smooth for you. You can live without SWTOR for a night. Go read a book. Or watch TV. Log into Facebook and poke a friend. Something else besides wasting your time complaining that you can't waste your time in a video game.

This is probably the dumbest complaint I've ever seen. I'm a US player. I have no problem dealing with the downtime. How do you cope with things IRL when they don't go the way you want? Do you QQ then too? Or do you suck it up and deal with it, like an adult should be capable of doing?
Fanboy for life!!!!!!

This thread is hilarious. One evening causing a troll-splosion of anger from our topic starter. It's a Monday night, not a weekend. Now I'm not ignorant, and know that not every single job has a work schedule of Monday - Friday but if you didn't see a patch coming today when '5 day early access' was posted WAY back in January...then I don't know what to tell you. And has anyone complaining stopped to think about the lack of patch that's going to be needed come Sunday?

And about the server numbers? NA being the highest pop? If I were to assume off blind numbers (Which I'm sure most are doing) that's what? 12 servers to NA's 8? There are more non-caring or positive thoughts on this thread then negative as well. Broad generalization would lead me to believe that most people took a shower, ate dinner, and went to bed non bothered by the evening down time of ToR.

Guess what OP. Servers are back up and I'm downloading as we speak. So sorry you missed your primetime play. Err... yea, that is a bit disingenuous. I'm not sorry. Not in the slightest.

Thanks BW!

Tell us about it. Unfortunately, because the world does something as silly as rotate in space, we can't have nice things like a simple, single universal time.
It's "elder game", guys. The day this game gets an actual "endgame" is when BW pulls the plug on the servers. MMORPGs don't have an "end".
