You know I don't know whose idea this was to do Server maintenance three nights in a row but believe me Aussie's aren't the only one's pissed about it. What about us guys who the only time we get to play is on third shift? It's ridiculous to think that shutting down at the same time on ALL servers three nights in the same week is a good idea in any way shape or form... I mean the reason you have scheduled maintenance is to keep "unscheduled maintenance to a minimum. We love the adds and changes but this is just getting stupid. Why is it fair that if I didn't have a life and I could play all day long I could get farther faster just because someone who does have a life might be faced with server shut down? Hell why do you think I chose a west coast server? I was hoping to grab those extra hours before server shutdown that I ran into with an east coast server on WoW originally. I went to a west coast server on WoW... problem solved but here there are now rolling restarts and all maintenance on all servers happens at the same time and it is generally for FOUR hours... so if I want to stay up till 7am, then I "Might" get to log in then.
I have been subbed and pre-ordered and was in on the beta I am no longer playing WoW and playing SWTOR Exclusively because I only have time for one MMO essentially... but lately I have started playing other games during system maintenance. However 3 days out of the week is really just a reason to stop playing and paying for it. Right now we are essentially paying our 14 bux a month for what seems to amount to about (20) twenty full days of game play.
So my choice is I can either change the time that I play and neglect family, life, work, and so on. OR just get more interested in whatever other game I'm playing on the off times (Fallen Earth, DC Online, Tera, GW2, D3) believe me there are no lack for choices of games to play out there, but I'd really just like to play Star Wars if you please.
