They are new at MMOs and do not have it down to a science yet like Blizzard does. I remember a lot of Day Long maintenance all the way though TBC.
Servers have been up for almost 3 hours now. The site is still down for a revamp, but you can play the game.
huh?servers are already up.
the main sites going down for longer.
In addition to this, we will be performing maintenance on SWTOR.com for its new redesign. The website will be unavailable for ten hours from 1AM CDT (April 16th, 11PM PDT/2AM EDT/7AM BST/8AM CEST/4PM AEST) until 11AM CDT (9AM PDT/12PM EDT/5PM BST/6PM CEST/April 18th,2AM AEST). Once the site comes back up, the new redesign will be unveiled.
BioWare is the new Blizzard, when it comes to maintenance.
Blizzard has been improving lately, even having servers up EARLY a couple times in recent memory.
Bioware has been pretty great at maintenance and can only improve as the game matures.
This is a total non-issue.
^ The above should be taken with two grains of salt and a fistful of "chill the F* out".
I think just about every SWTOR maintenance has ended with servers coming up early. There was, of course, last Friday... but other than that BioWare has done an excellent job. Better than I ever remember WoW being (i.e. - "We will be extending today's maintenances into the forseeable future. We will update you with an estimated time servers will be available...")
Humans are the only species on the planet smart enough to be this stupid.
So, OP made a simple mistake. Checked the site to see if servers were up, but site is down due to the SITE having maintenance. Servers have been up for hours. Should probably close the thread now before it turns into yet another SWTOR vs whatevermmoyouplay hate thread.
I think the site is up now too.
Or rather I just re-upped my subscrition on it and it looked up to me
