So there was an extended downtime that already disproportionately affected European players yesterday, and now we have to deal with another server shutdown because the last shutdown couldn't even do the thing it was supposed to do right? Hope this one doesn't overrun by three hours too.

Deleting client_settings.ini worked for me!

Having the same problems, deleting the BitRaider folder doesn't seem to be doing anything.

Sith pale blue eyes are ****ed up as well.

Shadow of Revan seemed to be about how well Theron, Lana, and the Player worked together when they weren't constrained by the traditional methods and leadership structures of their factions-- and their reward for succeeding was to be split up and placed in really high leadership positions within the structures that were holding them back. Ziost showed Theron/Lana struggling to work within those constraints. Lana spends Ziost so overworked that she can't figure out that her second-in-command is a republic spy, and Theron gets everyone under his command possessed by Vitiate and killed. I think post-Ziost, and especially into KotFE/KotET/Iokath, Theron, Lana and the Outlander realise they can do more for the galaxy outside of the Republic/Empire than within them.
