Wish someone would tell the rest of the world that Saturday is Prime Time all day, to me it's a work day, or catch up on doing everything I didn't have time to do due to work day and my God why does it only last a few hours when you need more I mean hell I still need to finish laundry and go shopping and it's only the morning and noon will be here in a few hours!

Entitlement leads to nothing.
It IS prime time all day, most people don't work.
Space, is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly hugely mindbogglingly big it is. I mean you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist, but that's just peanuts to space...

Bioware still has much to learn when it comes to MMO games... hope they will before the downfall of this otherwise great game.

Seriously... people have school and work during the week. And you take away the only time they can play... great job idiots.

I really want this game to succeed but this kind of policy makes me want to hit BW in the only place they will take a hint: their wallet.
Exactly my sentiment.
I really want to like this game. BW is just making it so bloody hard.
I even resubbed 2 days ago to give it another chance, needless to say my credit card details are now pulled from the site for good.

It was a server side patch not client side. Why the hell didn't they take the servers down during off peak hours based on server location?

This saturdays rage was preventable.

I can understand problems with lack of version control if client is updated but for a server only update.

Bioware deserve this rage

I could be wrong did anyones client actually update or are you using the same client you were using yesterday?

Have a nice day
Am pretty sure what pisses people off is they did it on a weekend when a lot of people could be playing and on top of that couldn't get the servers back online in time even. Tuesdays, no biggie, people got school, work etc...and Aussies get their own launch in a couple months.

Cryptic games are all free to play, it's different.

Why? Maybe to not lose subscriptions? Just a thought, we don't have hard facts yet.
