How about a 5 min warning in game before you shut everything down?

Chill out. Take it in stride. You'll log back in the game and all will be fine. Your character won't be permanently dead. You may be inconvenienced for all of 3 minutes and continue playing.

Stop acting like a bunch of entitled ******es.
I will just quote myself again. Chill. The. ****. Out.

Not sure what happened on the other servers, but on The Bastion we start a getting warning at the 20min mark and a reminder every 5 min down to 5min then every 1 min. So while put out i had to log i had plenty of time to get to a rest zone.

If I hadn't already concluded that this development team is full of a****** then I'd be surprised by this. Seeing as they've made jack***ess of themselves to many times already.. It's just one more reason they'll never see another dollar from me again.

No warning on our server. We join the RWZ, we are winning and the servers just go down. Ok, fine!
I have already lost my rating due to respawn bug. Will this be the third addition to it?

While I understand that stuff (tm) happens that requires an urgent restart of all servers, not giving your players in game notice is pretty lame.

I note the servers are still down, so I'm guessing several people already have their hair on fire at BW over this. So, I'll just note that in future, the big red letters you use to let people know they can transfer off a server can also be used to let them know you're doing a restart.

Which didn't happen on Bergeron Colony.

I hope everyone realizes this is a game... Maybe you should go do something besides waste your time complaining it'll come back on eventually and Bioware is going to hopefully reimburse people maybe or something but seriously y'all need to relax and go look at the sun its still there just saying lol =)!
