I was taking a break from SWTOR when they did this. I can't believe how dirty they did that, holy crap!

 

To just casually mention the server relocation, and then to even say they tested it out and only the west coast servers showed a higher ping but nothing that detracted from the game play was coldblooded.

 

On top of all that, then they said they would "work out the kinks" and for the players to provide feedback to let them know how things were going lol.

 

Icing on the cake was no mention of the drastic change in gameplay the APAC players and others outside the USA would experience, pretty much as if those players didn't even exist.

It's almost borderline racism. Reading between the lines we can interpret their public statements to mean that foreign players are substantially less important than our American players.

I was dumb enough back then to think that it meant "if this doesn't work out we will just change it back," apparently not.

They could at least allow us to fund our own APAC server..
