This Thursday the 26th, BioWare will take down the Star Wars: The Old Republic servers to perform unscheduled maintenance. During this window, servers will be offline but will return with the need to download a patch. It is very likely that servers are coming down to address a serious bug discovered by the community.

BioWareThe servers and SWTOR.com will be down for two hours on Thursday, July 26th, 2012 from 2AM CDT (12AM PDT/3AM EDT/8AM BST/9AM CEST/5PM AEST) until 4AM CDT (2AM PDT/5AM EDT/10AM BST/11AM CEST/7PM AEST). All game servers will be offline during this period. This maintenance is expected to take no more than two hours, but could be extended.
