FYI to those new to Star Wars, The Old Republic. Bioware never, and I mean NEVER, comes close to their predicted downtimes. They are always hours, sometimes hours and hours over. So, yes, it's now past 1pm EST when they said the servers would be up. I haven't even checked it, and I can tell you that if you log on now it will show it's down. I will try when I get home from work tonight, and I'm hoping that by at least 6pm EST they will have it up and running, but I'm not holding my breath. |

Two there should be; no more, no less. One to embody the power, the other to crave it. |

A few times they have actually been up early but yes, more often than not they go well over their predicted times.

Varthander, no, I haven't checked it. (At work, actually) However, look at the time of this post, and try to log on. What? Not up? Shock! Seriously, they miss these things by hours. I wasn't kidding when I said that I hoped it would be up by 6 pm EST when I get home, that's how bad they are at updates. Plus the downtime tomorrow to try and deal with the bugs and crap they missed with the minimal staff they have left working on the game. |

Expect massive lag as usual after update. It was worst MMO launch ever. Same probably will happen today.

I noticed a lot of their web content was down for maintenance too. I didn't have too much trouble at launch though. There were queues, but they weren't too long. However, that would be a good thing...more people in the game. Join the League For Gamers. |

Originally posted by mmodanno That's unfortunate to hear. As I recall in the early months, their downtimes weren't always as long as they were telling us. It was a delight. It wasn't always the case, but more often then not it was. To hear that it's changed so much is disheartening. I guess they'd better get something like this right. This is an important milestone for the game. |

1:44 pm EST and still not up. the first time i tried to log in today a watched the cinematic video with the smugler getting caught and noticed lower quality and image tearing. When i was subbed that same video had high quality and no image tearing.... i can only assume that since EAWARE was forced to go Freemium they now care less for their games quality. I may be wrong but that is what i think after noticing that significant change in the video.

Anarchy Online had the worst launch ever... by far. Game was unplayble due to lag and crashes. Took them months to straighten it out. By the time they did, everyone left. Too bad, it was, (still is), a really fantastic MMO with lots of fresh, (for its time) ideas. Swtor had a VERY smooth launch in comparison... but, and this is a big but, :) , they waited too long to merge servers when they started to lose subs. Within 2 months most servers were ghost towns, which led to more cancelations, and so on and so on... If they had been agressive with server merges, I am confident in saying the game would probably have at least double the number of subs it has now. Oh, btw, Mnwild, the reason I posted this was so that new people wanting to try SWTOR wouldn't give up trying. Us vets know how bad ...really really bad.. the crew they have is at managing updates, so more of an FYI to newbies. I think someone needs a nap.

well they keep sending me a nice mail saying i will get 100 CCoins as a valued customer... I sent a mail back asking if i could get the other 1200... My guess is... No.
I have four of those mail now and i wonder how many i will have by the time they go back online This have been a good conversation |

lol of course EAware decided to make a new prerendered video with lower quality just because the game went free to play.

LOL reminds me of a commercial in the mid 70's, Ford advertising the Pinto but it was in a dull blue color and wasn't attractive looking at all. And the Pinto lived up to its ad, it was a piece of shit.
