They should put the queue time up in light years.

I'm in a queue. HUH? light pop. Not only that, i am moving DOWNinstead of up. No cuts.

LOL JJ, you write like a Jawa speaks. cool.

They use Century Link DSL.

Aww, man! Now i will have to find something else to do with my hands

Wouldn't it be nice if we had an add-on to peruse all of our characters traits crew skills, inventory, creds, etc? Just informational to save time and effort?

BW has been posting status reports in the official thread covering this downtime. The last I saw offered no specifics, but i would suspect it isn't a simple issue. The official thread is in the Customer Service Forum. The thing that has ALWAYS bugged be in gaming online for decades, is that even when those who run the technology we all get to enjoy try to keep the players informed, regardless of what they have to say, the company that owns it is the worst at everything that is needed to run the game, the techs are incompetent, the programmers are lousy, the game suck and they attack the messenger. Yet these people still work to get things going for those who despise and villify them. I AM American and have literally circumnavigated the globe in the service of my country and have found AMERICANS to be the most downright, thoughtless, and self-absorbed culture on the planet. Those who have little show greater honor and humility than most Americans. This has gotten worse over the years. Most of us are ignorant to the fact that MOST of the worlds governments despise or tolerate the US and its people. Funny, the Canadians don't have our reputation problem...

so, your hardware, originally, wasn't working and you expected them to wave their magic 3000 mile wand and bring it up to spec. It didn't happen, so you made the decision to go and buy a laptop capable of running the game. Sounds like a winning decision. You get a new laptop that can play SWTOR AND do more things better than the old one. Personally, how you use your leave is your choice. Sorry, BW doesn't take that into consideration and work harder for you to keep things running. When I take annual, I usually spend time with my family. Maybe a little late-night gaming occurs after all are asleep. This is my day off and I had plans to level my Armstech's crafting and make some modifications. I get you are upset. I used to get that way too playing WoW. Servers crashed much more than this ever does AND they did their lengthy maint during my day-off prime playing time. But howling at the moon will get you nowhere. This is high tech, regardless of whether you feel this is true, or not, and tech fails with and without warning. However, YOU are not the only one affected by this, regardless of your personal circumstances. We all have a personal circumstance.

really? I have always hung up or gotten closure on all my issues. I've been here from launch. I know you have not because had you been you would have known they dramatically cut their support side over a year ago. to expect personal return calls (lol that is hilarious) and lightning fast in-game support is unrealistic. And the cool thing. They don't outsource their support to india or Taiwan.

What do you know? I have no idea? Can you pour through millions of lines of code to recognize and find the part that took down the server? Are you in IT? An Electrician? and EE or CE? Systems analyst? Then maybe you can fix it faster than those who have those skills are trying to do.

I have gotten over a weeks compensation since launch. New to the game, right? Also, the TOS and EULA expressly say you do not have any right to 24 hour access to the game or servers and servers may be taken down for any reasons and you are not entitled to compensation for server down time. READ the big long legal contracts you signed.

You're kidding, right? 50 cents a day? do you play all 24 hours each day? no. then you are wasting their sever space by not maximizing your game time. And if you had been around for ANY amount of time, you would know there have been quite a few free days given to extended downtime and other issues. BW is not afraid to hand out 1 day extensions to all account holders affected by extended downtime.

Maybe they are trying to drive away you malcontents. Plenty of other games out there to ***** about. Some are even free. Surprisingly, their servers go down, sometimes, too. So you can just cut and paste your complaints.
