This patch is necesary to ensure a good experience for all players during our Weekend Pass Trial weekend. We never take interrupting your playtime lightly, and this is no exception. Emergencies do happen occasionally, and we are working as quickly as we can to bring the servers back up so you can continue enjoying the game. In the meantime, we'll keep you updated with any new information that becomes available. Thank you for your understanding and patience as we work to ensure everything goes smoothly this weekend.
Well said, you are all doing great! I appreciate the hard work you are all putting into this game to make it wonderful. Emergencies happen and it is very understandable. Don't let'em work you guys too hard!

Reading all the posts on here this thread downturns to something political..

Ok servers still down and it is 2:33pm Central time here in Texas. Could be they have some glitches to fix? Who cares so long as they are fixing things I have no problem. You STWOR addicts calm down! You will get your playtime fix soon enough.

Being
Indecisive like a woman in a shoe store
Obviously on the ball by seeing to all player concerns....
Warnings before downtime? LOL no
Angering Players because we can
Rewarding all players with DOWNTIME

Obviously BW is a company and as such wants to make money. I actually don't care at all about this downtime.

What I want people here to be aware of tho is that this 'patch' has illustrated 1 thing very clearly: Bioware does not care about you, the individual paying customer. Or about groups of customers.

Their main goal is to get as many subscribers as they can. If they have to screw over their current paying subscribers to do it, they will.

My guess is that this is a stress test of the forum server. If we create a high enough load here they will be scared and turn SWToR back on again!

this is very true. but will still happen tho, as i foresee the authentication servers crashing as thousands of "paying customers" flood the servers all trying to log in at the same time lol
