I checked System Alerts and there is nothing posted. Does anyone know if they are bringing the servers down tonight for Monday night/Tuesday morning maintenance or will it be skipped for the holiday?

I dont know what to say... All I know is I must have done SOMETHING to impact all my companions with such a negative effect... Every time I send my companions out on misison...they boast enthusiastically about how good of a job they are going to do for me ("I will perform to your exacting specifications my lord!!!")...but then when they return...NO MATTER THE RESULTS OF THEIR MISSION, Exceptional craft roll or not....they come back reporting complete failure..even WHEN THEY HAVE NOT!!?!?!? I dont know what I have done to demoralize them so much that even when they are successful, they return broken hearted and feeling like a failure and verbally beat themselves down... What gives Bioware? Whats the bloody hells did I dos?

Do you have any idea how many "products" and even "important people" have ended up dead at the bottom of that building on the concrete due to perception? Reality is that they have to deal with the very REAL perception... Dont get me wrong, I think this game is going to be good enough to make many still happy to play it. But while we cant access it and are discussing it, reality is present in black and white.

When you look at the overall numbers of actual players in the end vs the pre order "whiners" who bother to post on the forums...I know what you're saying.. The problem is though, going back to perception...this is the "forum" of the voice of the community...and its raging pissed..lol Once again, no way around that fact. I say, thats BW's problem to resolve in the end. I still plan on playing and enjoying the hell out of it when im able.

THAT scares the crap out of me tbh.. I kind of "read into that" as well as a concern. Quite frankly, it sounds like they are babysitting their servers and letting 1 person through the gate at a time. This is a huge exaggeration, but reading their very own words eludes to this.

I think this will be reality in the end. We will get to play, we will enjoy it. We will look back on the first few days and just say "wow, that was *&Y)(^(** up.." And thats it

Sorry I used words that dont specifically and accurately quantify the precise results of the negative impact upon the customer base. Sorry also that your efforts to provide your own estimates were also disregarded by me. The unarguable fact remains, this may not have been the best idea given the result on the community. Want to argue the size of the community and impact? I dont, but feel free to continue observing the exact personal thoughts of this said community...page..after page...after page...after page....[cont infinitely]

/truth

Yeah I just have been reading post after post and can see both sides of it all.. But man, like I said, over all, quick summation = not the best decision imo Simply put. But I am VERY excited for when I personally gain access, for sure

Like I said in the title, im not in the whiner camp, but I cant help but take a step back and look at all this... So I agree the earlier pre orders SHOULD get first dibs.. I was very distracted in July with RL stuff (serious biz stuff) and failed to register until August 12 (8/12/11) and I did not get in on day one...my bad, their win for those smart and diligent enough to pre order earlier. I also agree its good they dont make a ton of servers and then have to merge, close etc. In other words, if its good for the life of the game, do it up. My only "negative" observation is the results of this "Staggered launch" within the community, ynow, the customers of this specific product... The result is obvious, page after page of not just disappointed but ENRAGED customers... Just a general observation : It doesnt look good So it may not have been the best idea....allllllll im saying gents...and im not sure its possible to argue with this general observation. An extremely large part of your community, your customers, are incredibly disappointed with the game product they purchased...and your "official" launch day has not even taken place yet... To me, the "arguement" ends there. (and no, im not ignorant to the facts and differences between EA and launch, but I do have eyes and ears and am capable of observing the results on the community due to these decisions..) But I look forward to when I will also gain access and I hope all the other efforts and continued support from the staff makes it all worth it for the customers in the long haul. Peace and enjoy when you all do get into the game. I bet it will be worth it once you're IN..
