This week’s maintenance is a biggie, coming in at 8 hours, which makes me get excited about 1.2 going live, but given it hasn’t hit the PTR yet it’s not going to happen. So let’s assume it’s just an extended maintenance and deal with the time conversions.
AEDT: 6pm-2am Tuesday evening / Wednesday morning
AWST: 3pm-11pm Tuesday evening
NZDT: 8pm-4am Tuesday evening / Wednesday morning
The announcement from BioWare:
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.
Scheduled Maintenance
Date: Tuesday, March 13th, 2012

All game servers and SWTOR.com will be offline during this period. This maintenance is expected to take no more than eight hours.
Thank you for your patience as we maintain service for Star Wars™: The Old Republic™.
Does this include that the US just went to daylight savings time?
Yep – we do all conversions off GMT 😉
If it’s a long downtime it’s probably a hotfix. I.e., 1.1.5a. Also, it’s not April…
Howdy – where does it say April?
