"Considering they called it a day at 2pm" You realize that Bioware doesn't consist of one guy sending out emails, right? Starting in the next hour or two, there will be an influx of players who have been at work/school. That rush will most likely last until 7pm PST. During that entire time, they'll likely be all hands on deck, making sure the systems run smoothly.
Once the initial rush calms down, they're probably going to sit down with their tech people. They're going to look at the stability of the various servers under specific loads and figure out how many people they can invite tomorrow without crashing the whole system.
It really bugs me that people who have nothing better to do then scour the SWTOR forums call the people at Bioware lazy when there's no evidence to suggest it.
