Indeed it is

Sporadic network outage seems to be confirmed (?) by the fact that I can run SwTOR (over Steam) when using another Internet provider than my usual.

I see on twitter that people are talking about a "major outage" that affects some services/locations or the other. If so, it is not a SwTOR problem per se.

Having the same problem since about an hour. Via Steam. Trying to access via "native" launcher says "try to repatch" or something to that effect.

I must join the quest for a reply to this. I think one should not underestimate Windows Phone (7 or 8), seeing also that Blackberry seems to be on decline according to a cnn report (http://tech.fortune.cnn.com/2013/05/16/windows-phone-surpasses-blackberry-for-third-place-in-smartphone-shipments/) and Windows Phone rises to 3rd place among smartphone OS'es. I recently turned to Lumia 925 and Windows Phone 8, and while it has BattleNet authenticator and Windows authenticator that works with live.com, gmail.com and with guildwars 2, I still need the Android device, but only for unlocking SWTOR. I really look forward to good news on this issue.
