    On the main page:
    http://www.swtor.com/

    You can download the game client (22mb or so).
    Then run the client and it will download and install the game and updates.

    I've seen somewhere that the chance of discovery is between 5% to 20% (or was it 25%?) depending on your skill level versus that needed to build the item. No idea how accurate the source is as I can't remember what it was.

    They are smoking the substance that makes them think US server downtimes are acceptable if translated to GMT/CET.

    Or in other words they are American.

    This is unacceptable if they continue to pull down servers at times suiting americans. As long as they pull the servers down at 4am -10am gmt as frequently then im ok, but bring down the server for us in europe which suits the americans only is crap

    Arg, 20gb you say. Might just go and buy it so. It's crazy that downloads are more expensive than bricks & mortar...

    In fairness, they said it might go on longer than 4, and that's generally a sign that it will. Considering this is the first major amount of outage since launch, I think that's quite impressive.

    I'm still just pissed off at the times. It's stupid to have downtime go until 4pm, just cause it suits the US better. I know that normally, not many people would care too much (with work, school etc...) but still.

    Plus, today was to be my first chance to play the game since last Friday.

    Same here. I think thats the real pain. The last few days have been so busy for most people, and today would normally be the day when things would slow down. I was really hoping to really get into the game today after getting it for Christmas.
