Few Months ago people were asking why their countries were put on the back burner and the the US was focused on. Some countries were not even allowed to beta test for the large majority of the test period, let alone only got their hands on the product a month back when it was finally sold in their country.

I don't know why people think they are entitled to the same thing as everyone else. Games being developed in the USA should be available to the USA first. If someone tells me about a game developed in China and was released there a year ago but is just coming to the USA I am in no way shocked or appalled. This game was made here and is in development here yet the USA servers are in a shambles and the Devs only focus on expanding to other countries to make easy money off the foreigners.

Daniel Erickson stated in a an article released yesterday in PC Gaming Mag that server merges aren't a priority. Thats because they are more worried about making sure asian and middle east players can buy the game. I am not saying that other people don't deserve to play the game, but they can wait until its good to go here first...

Why? Why shouldn't both American servers and European servers get the same amount of treatment and attention?

Will people please stop quoting LOLstatus.com? that site has already been debunked several times, and once by BioWare themselves.

Their information is way off, they listed The Red Eclipse the if not one of most populated servers in europe, is listed seventeenth, the eleventh placed server is a practically dead server called Juyo EU.

Besides that fact, I live in the United Kingdom of Britain and Northern Ireland, the downtime is most certainly not ending at 8pm at least on my server, in fact the peak of The Red Eclipse is experienced during 9-12pm on any night without downtime, you can quote that from someone who actually plays in Europe.

The rated warzones being pushed back and the servers population status has made this game very unappealing to me atm.

I am glad the rest of the world is getting to experience SWTOR, but can't help but be frustrated at the lack of communication regarding the game breaking issues facing us here. The only communication we get is vague, "In the Future", "We are looking into it", "Some ways away".

Hopefully the Devs will make the U.S. server issues their real priority at some point, with daily communication about whats happening with them and what they are going to do to fix it.
lol! your onto something dude!
PvP should be based on skill NOT expertise.

For your complaint to be accurate, US servers would have to be experiencing issues that servers for other countries are not.

As far as I know....ALL SERVERS RUN THE SAME GAME PATCH LEVEL AT ALL TIMES. Which means your complaint is without merit.
When you find yourself surrounded by hostile Clowns... always go for the "Juggler" first.

they probably want to expand their markets as much as possible and get revenue from these other countries and their potential players. having just released a big patch, i can see them putting more emphasis for a while on getting new subscribers rather than content for at least a little while


the America hate is pretty funny though.
