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

I agree an in game notice for those who don't alt-tab would have been nice, but to cry over something they are aware of and are actively fixing? Seriously?

The absolute worst part of all of this is this. We all, everyone that plays the game, bought and paid for it! Yep, we did. Now here is the issue. I understand there is server upkeep, and that costs money, but you know what.....this is kind of unprofessional. No warning, you just shut stuff, down, I was in the middle of my class quest, and you just boom! Kick us all off the servers. So now, god only knows where my character will be at when I log back on. Thus I will have to go through the whole mission again. Maybe a 10 or 20 minute warning is a little more, beneficial and acceptable. It is not acceptable, that we pay you every month to play a game that we already OWN! To be booted off with no warning. Absolutely, unacceptable. Get it together Bio-ware. YOu've already lost tons of players to Diablo 3! Guild wars 2 is coming out, and your going to lose more. I guarantee it. In all the years that I played the first one, I never had them pull this crap, not even once. Way to think about your customers. Smooth, real smooth.

ANd just as an aside. I do enjoy Star Wars a great deal more than I did GW, and I am sure that many others do as well. However....it may make no difference to them, if you keep doing stuff like this. A lot of people in game and on this forum are coming from other great MMO's, and they are used to being treated a certain way....I am sure. You have to think of your gamers, they are the ones paying your bills. Your not even....I mean, damn man! It ain't like you planned to restart the servers at 6 in the morning, on a whim...no you decided to do it at 4 in the afternoon? Who is the brilliant Management Dingbat that thought that idea up? Really? REALLY? Hell you could have even posted a notice on the login screen for the game last night! Yesterday! I mean come on...you can't tell me that you didn't know you were gonna do this at least a day in advance. I can't believe I am this ticked off. Seriously, unless there is a natual disaster, a storm....something out of your control....we should get at minimum a 5 minute notice, and 10 or 20 is better. Period.

A warning is nice and I am sure they'd give one if they could have. They do it every other time they have brought down the servers. The one time they don't it is like you're going to come back to the game and find your characters wiped off all their possessions.

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 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 =)!

When we're PAYING to play this game...yes...we're entitled. The day it becomes free I might agree with you assessment of how we should act.

I was logged into every server, they all got warnings
