I only just learned how to fix this tonight because they've got the setting that affects forum timestamps buried somewhere not forum related.

Go to "My Account" under the "My SWTOR" header. Click on "Contact Information". There is a field on that page for time zone. I had to look it up to see that my time zone (Arizona) is apparently supposed to be GMT-7, but when I tried that it was an hour off (still many hours closer to correct than it had been, but still would have been annoying) so I changed it to GMT-8 instead. Figure out what you need to set yours to and you should be able to get it to display times that line up with your time zone.

1) The EULA to which you agreed states that they owe you nothing for down time.
2) 24 hours of subscription time costs at most 50 cents.

That's a little over 2 cents an hour.
Given that less than 2 hours passed between the OP and the server coming back up, I suggest you write a letter to BioWare and insist that they refund you the 4 cents.

Some people are just way too entitled.

How about you do it for me with your smart remarks. It never hurts to try because you never know. But good day because I'm not gonna feed your trolls. So just go away and do your thing and I shall do mine.

Whenever they do maintenance in my state in AU (NSW) it's always around 7-8pm (our prime time) till quite late and during the working week which is the only time a lot of get to play if we work during the day and after big updates these maintenance can sometimes be once every two days! I can't believe the sever goes down in US prime time for less than 2hrs and some people are acting like it's the end of the world and that they deserve compensation
