I don't get it, if its been 21 days they should automatically restart the servers instead of waiting til a few days down the line to restart. Now my main has been useless for 8 weeks (I've done FS and all that other junk) and now I'll have to wait 4 more days to actually do something interesting on my main, why the HELL can't they just sink servers up? Bria is a week ahead of my server (naritus) and a bunch of other servers


poorly done SOE, I remember when you used to restart servers nightly and actually seemed like you semi-cared

It's not the number of days it's a timer that is set up on the servers.


60 seconds per minute x 60 minutes per hour = 3600 seconds per hour x 24 hours per day = 86400 seconds per day x 21 days 1814400 seconds of server UP-time. That means any time the server goes down for work or any other reason the timer stops. This is what accounts for the servers off-sync. Not all of them are down for the same amount of time.


Why can't they sync them up? Because there is no reason to, everyone is waiting the same amount of time in-game, noone is playing on your or my galaxy when it is being worked on so noone gets an advantage.

You can try and explain Computer downtime or Timers resetting...I can give a S@it! I’m a casual player and have to set time aside to play this game...... Plan for it. I marked my calendar weeks ago on the exact date Phase three (on Chilstra) would start. Go F%$en figure, I was let down....yet again.


"Why can't they sync them up?" Try, because we are paying customers. Making an excuse for bad "Timing" is still an excuse.


And when did you start taking my money for this game? How bout someone from SOE answer this question? It’s been three weeks (NOT three weeks in computer world) Why are we still in phase 2? !!




Thanks for another great weekend SOE.........

Wish they'd bring back the Daily Server Restarts, no just for the village, but for stability in general.

Man.. If there is one thing I learnd in life is no one really cares about the customer.. Maybe like 1 out of 200 reps will actually really care, the rest of the people just need money... it's sad ... I definitely know what you're saying about planning specific gameplay periods too.

Does the server even need to go down in order for phases to switch? Or does it happen after 3 weeks of elapsed up-time?

Why don't they sync the servers up? Heres why. Lets say Chilastra's server goes down for a day (it's happened). Now, all the people who are FS on chilastra have lost a day where they could have unlocked a branch. If they then reset all the servers to the same timer as Chilastra, then the rest of the servers would have to wait an extra day and they'd complain about that. So, each is on their own timer. It's the only way to make it fair for everyone on each individual galaxy.

Exact time? No one knows the exact time here, the sticky is PREDICTED time it'll change.
While you're busy whining did you even consider that not all servers were brought up on the first day? Or that some servers have been down for a day at a time while others have been up? (Doubt the day 1 of servers matters though since the villiage only started I believe on pub 9).

Next time please condense your post and just say "I want my way and I WANT IT NOW!".

They sync servers now and imagine all the people who would miss out on the phase, possibly the last one they needed for jedi. But that doesn't matter to you does it? They can wait a bunch more weeks as long as you get your unlocks right when they want em. Uh huh.
