Weekly server maintenance EU times?

I love it how trolls (US trolls or not, doesn't matter) keep posting in this just to anger other people with hilarious comments.
To every poster that says variations of "no big deal get a life": if you aren't a troll and are really so dull, we'll say it again. It. Does. Not. Concern. You. As in, if you have no trouble with the current situation don't go attacking whoever has problems with it. If i have no problems with my car i don't go to another car owner and call him names because his car has a fault somewhere. It would be pointless, and immature.

REALLY? why not? you should try it. It's fun

I was thinking of Shaiya and Prius mainly (havnt played wow since that "burning crusade" patch so donno much about that one .. also isnt wow ip restricted as well? well, it dosnt really matter as there is separate european/us servers).

I will admit tho that Shaiya had a really great costumer service tho. They even changed the main importent instance (gold maker) to run different times during the week to make it available to all timezones (and that is probably also why i stayed with them so long). Alas the bosses (even the small area ones) and daily GM events is still US times only.

Worst ive ever tried was 2Moons by Acclaim .. one day i was playing happily .. the next i tried to log in only to get the message: "sorry, europe is no longer allowed to play the game".

Its become a lot better lately tho. Used to be +80% of mmorpgs that didnt allow europeans to partake .. but lately its been MUCH better.

You may have missed it but here is the email response to this issue that BW sent to me, Seems pretty much over in their eyes

So while their argument means it's entirely possible...you choose to ignore it, just because it involves Rift?

Why-to-go at proving you point there

Who things that referring to CS reps as "Protocol Droid B6-J3 of Human-Cyborg Relations" backfires in a pretty big way? When you have problems the last thing you want is some 'droid' saying "sorry there is nothing we can do about it". It actually de humanifies the already lousy CS experience.

seeing as this, the continuation threads at over 70 pages now, I'd say this is an issue that needs addressing.

especially as i have tuesday off work this week.

Lucky you, you get to spend 8 hours doing the laundry, cleaning the house, bringing the kids to school, getting them back home, going through your taxes, doing groceries, going door to door to collect money for a good cause, help out the local sports club with their youth programs, mow the lawn, wash the windows, follow a course on how to survive during a possible climate disaster.

You just won't be playing TOR. Like me. Guess we'll both have a ton to do Tuesday...

Whats this whole cutting the grass thing you Europeans do?

Cultural and timezone differences, how do they work?

hahaha, of all the principled stands I've seen in my life this is perhaps the most foolish. I don't know the exact processes behind the server maintenance, but I suspect they do all the regions at once for technical and efficiency reasons. If you really can't go without swtor for a maximum of 6 hours (it's usually much shorter than this) than you SHOULD quit. Also OP, yes peak hours are defined as 6-11 at night, when there are a PEAK number of players. Man you could drown nations with the amount of pointless crying this community does.
