Aussie Server Maintenance

Why are the Aussie servers going down for maintenance in the prime time of playable hours for us Aussie's?

The U.S. server go down at 2am so why don't the servers in Australia go down at 2am AEST?

A Little Unfair!!!!!!!!!


Also why are the forums shut down as well?

Some people used the maintenance time to check out forums, Like they did with WoW to catch up on anything new.

This thread is new and exciting.....

The downtimes are the downtimes. The people doing the work don't live in your countries, why should they be expected to schedule their lives to conform to your timezones?

They only just got the servers set up for you. They've not even got the details on your transfers worked out yet. As far as I know, they don't even have an 'official' presence there, so what makes you think they have the people trained and available there to handle the maintenance?

Time to get over yourselves.

Thanks for that quote, Bashin; was there a link to the OP?

It's been said before, if this downtime doesn't affect you consider yourself lucky and move on.

No one said anything about having people trained and able to perform the maintenance here. Have you not heard about remotely managed servers? Just because servers are located in some corner of the world does not mean the people who manage them need to be there as well.

See above and move on.

Even if they remotely manage them, they have their reasons for not taking them down at different times. Dry your tears and move on already.

All of you who have a problem with the current maintenance schedule, have a think about this.

BW does not care (they are most likely prioritising fixing the game, not the maintenance), you complain but continue paying them a subscription. What's going to happen when you cancel your subscriptions as a sign of protest? Do you think BW will still not show a care in the world when their bottom line is being affected?

Power in numbers - if enough of us cancel our subscriptions BW will be forced to make a change. I've already cancelled my subscription and I'm aware of a few others who have done the same.

Look at what we did to the retail industry in Australia - we got sick of paying them their inflated prices so we turned to buying online and caused them to go south with their revenue. The result? Bigger than normal sales and some retailers even closing. Bottom line - we were unhappy with their treatment of us and decided to do something about it (conciously or not).

So yeah, please think about cancelling your subscriptions if you are adversely affected with the current maintenance schedule. I for one will not be paying them and waiting for 3-6 months so they can fix the issue.

Another one of those "Bioware doesn't care" posts?

Bioware has given to aussies in 3 months, what Blizzard still won't give after 8 years.

Real aussie servers on aussie soil.

Look, I don't like maintenances on asia-pacific prime time, but to say that Bioware doesn't care is false.
