TOR Maintenance

The TOR Servers are going down for maintenance at 0200 Central time Tuesday morning (the 17th)…maintenance is scheduled to take 5 hours, so it’s a good time to catch a cat nap while working on all your Rakghoul plague quests, and leveling.

As is normal for Server maintenance, the TOR website is also going down for maintenance.. however.. this time, the site itself is also getting some maintenance done.. and when it comes up, we’ll have a newly redesigned site to play with, and crawl through page by page looking for hidden bits of info!

Official announcement from BW:

Hello everyone!

We will be bringing down servers for five hours on Tuesday, April 17th, 2012 from 2AM CDT (12AM PDT/3AM EDT/8AM BST/9AM CEST/5PM AEST) until 7AM CDT (5AM PDT/8AM EDT/1PM BST/2PM CEST/10PM AEST). All game servers will be offline during this period. This maintenance is expected to take no more than five hours, but could be extended.

For our new players, this weekly maintenance is done in order to make general improvements and to check performance of the game so that we can continue to provide a consistent, quality experience. Quite often (but not always) after a maintenance period there will be a patch to download. After the maintenance, please login via the launcher to download the latest patch. If your launcher was open during the maintenance, you must close and reopen it for a fresh login.

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.
