[Bioware, you have a problem]

Its fun to watch the faithfuls try to convince themselves its not a big problem. Apparently they haven't been noticing the trend on queues.

Yup they are doing awesome...

 

Reason for calling it a botched patch.

 

UPDATE: 10:53AM CDT

 

During last night's maintenance, some areas of the game were reverted to pre-Game Update 1.2 status. Some areas were 'missing' and characters that were in those areas would be unavailable. We took the live servers offline at approx 9:30AM CDT (Austin time).

 

Our server and deployment teams are now working to rebuild assets for the live servers, but this is unfortunately not a quick process. We currently estimate that our downtime could be up to eight hours, but that time may be extended.

 

We are expecting the servers to be available again at 6:00PM CDT (April 14th, 12:00AM BST, 1:00AM CEST, 9:00AM AEST). We'll update you with information in this thread when we have it.

 

We sincerely apologize for the unexpected downtime today. We’ll update you with more details later.

 

Thank you for your patience while we work to resolve this issue.

They botched this patch, its clear from the notes. Terrible thing to do when you are trying to get people to resub with free time and new features. I was actually enjoying the game yesterday, but the low pops aren't going to get better with service like this. Bleh gonna have to deal with NCSoft again...
